John Bockius of Washington County, PA 1794
Does anyone on this forum know anything about the John Bockius who swore allegiance to the federal government in 1794 in Bethlehem Twp., Washington County, Pa.?
My main interest is that I'm trying to find out who ny great grandfather John B. Hufford (born in Beallsville (East Bethlehem Twp.), Washington County, Pa. in 1829) might have been named for.In particular, I'm wondering whether there might be a connection with his paternal grandmother Maria (Mary) Magdalena -- maiden name unknown -- wife of Christian Hufford, who came from Frederick County Maryland about 1800.Given that Bockius is also a Frederick County name, the chance of a family tie, though admittedly a long shot, is greater than zero.
