"MICHEAL STOCKER AND HIS DESCENDANTS" by Charles L. Stocker and
Jennie Stewart: " Andrew Stocker, third child and second son of the
family of Andreas and Julianna, was born May 25, 1778, as determined
by the inscription on his tombstone. His birthplace was Northampton
County Pa, in what is now the Boro of Stockertown in Forks Twp. Here he
lived until he was about 37 years of age, when he sold his farm and
with wife and 3 or 4 children joined his four brothers and sister who
were seeking a new home in the Ohio country. Moving by team and wagon
over the Pa. mountains and across the Ohio, they continued to the
valley of the Huskingum, later called the Tuscarawas. Here they
settled within a few miles of each other, Andrew on a fine farm on the
bank of the river about two miles west of Gnadenhutten...and here
Andrew lived out his life." "Public records show that he carried
with credit his part as a citizen of a pioneer community...His space
in the old Moravian Cemetery at Gnadenhutten is near the graves of his
brothers Adam and Christian, and is marked by a simple marble slab set
upright, with the inscription stating that he died Dec. 6, 1852, aged
74 years, 6 months and 12 days."
