I hope to contact Karen Campbell (genealogy information about Westboro area of Clinton County, Ohio, where my ancestors lived. Both Oliver Hesler and his wife, Barbara (nee Bishop) Hesler died in Westboro, but Oliver was born in 1840 and died in 1925. These folks were my great-great granparents. One of Oliver & Barbara Hesler's children (Charles Ernest Hesler) is my paternal great-grandfather, and he is buried in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Blanchester. He was born in 1868 and died in 1952. I am trying to find out whether or not the Hesler family (originally from Kentucky) had Quaker roots. Please e-mail me at mhc6323@cinci.rr.com, and I hope to find out more about my Hesler ancestors. My name is:
Melinda Hockman Callahan from
Cincinnati, Ohio. My late father was named Robert Oliver Hockman (his middle name was in honor of Oliver Hesler), and his maternal grandfather was Charles Hesler, the son of Oliver Hesler of Clinton County. Thank you for any help that you can share with me.

More about the Hesler family in Clinton County, near Blanchester, Ohio from Melinda Callahan (Cincinnati, Ohio). I'm sorry if I typed many of my earlier words incorrectly during the previous message. Also to add other info: Charles Hesler (as well as my parents, Robert Oliver Hockman and his wife, Jean nee Petticrew Hockman) are all buried in the Blanchester I.O.O.F. Cemetery. I don't have any documentation that the Hesler family were Quakers, but Granville Hockman
(my paternal grandfather's father) from Highland County married in 1889 to Mariah Conner and I have their marriage certificate from the Probate Court in Wilmington, Ohio. Granville is buried in Hillsboro, Ohio, and he died in 1925. But mostly I am trying to find out more about the Hesler family. Thanks for your help in finding out more about the Hesler or Hockman families in Clinton or Highland Counties in Ohio. From: Melinda Hockman Callahan (Cincinnati, Ohio), e-mail: mhc6323@cinci.rr.com

My self assigned project is to link the Hockman/Hackman families.
Please contact roberthockman@att.net Yes they were Mennonites coming from Switerland via the Rhine Valley, first to Pennsylvania. My Hockmans moved to the Shennandoah Valley, Hocking County, Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska
