Hedrick Family History
I have spent many years tracing my
Hedrick line. For about 2 years I have been stuck at my second great
grandfather Jacob J. Hedrick born about 1798 in Virginia. Finally I
was able to get back to his parents, and his siblings. From there it
gets sketchy.
A woman by the name of Jennifer Warfel
has gone back a few more generations by looking through property records
and location searches. However, she thinks that maybe she has the
line wrong now too. What I have posted is the descendant chart the
way Jennifer thinks it went, we are working on either correcting what she
has, or maybe verifying something else.
The problem with this Hedrick line is
the names John and Jacob. There are many, many Hedrick family
histories online, and they all seem to stop at Johns and Jacobs but go
further on the siblings to these Johns and Jacobs. Therefore, there
are several lines we could tie into, but we are uncertain which line.
As it stands now, Jennifer has
John
Hedrick who married Susan Horn [Hornung] as the child of Johan Casper
Hedrick and Magdalena Braumueller. From searching old church records
[Peaked Mountain Church in Virginia] though, it appears that this may be
wrong. John's father could be an Adam Hedrick.
Johan and
Magdalena did have children named John and Jacob too, but it is uncertain
that they are ours.
Sadly, in October of
2004, Jennifer passed away suddenly, her research has been invaluable to
not only me, but others of my line. Thankfully, her family has
passed it on to us, so that we may continue on her footsteps.
So, if you have any suggestions,
corrections, or leads, please feel free to email me.
