Partial List of Descendants to Seven Generations

Early records indicate various family members were Protestants - Mennonites, Huguenots, and Moravians.
See the book "The Trail of the Huguenots" by Dr. G. Elmore Reaman.
The Hoch family is listed therein as originally being a Huguenot (Reformed Protestant) family.
The Huguenots fled Roman Catholic France and French controlled areas in the late 1600's
for protection to Protestant areas of German Principalities, Switzerland, and Holland.
Huguenots and other religious groups emigrated to Pennsylvania for the religious freedom it offered.
Other researchers report this family became actively associated with the Mennonite religion.
Early generation family members in Pennsylvania mainly found in Berks and Bucks Counties.
Many in later generations changed their name to High which is the English meaning of Hoch.
See the book "Hoch-High Family in the United States and Canada" by Dr. J. Hampton Hoch.

Note: Some dates and locations shown are surmises and/or best estimates. The below chart was generated using a computer program. Some data in this report is indicated as "about" or "circa" or "probably" or "near" or "possibly", etc. Therefore, do not quote dates and locations off this report as precise, i.e., omitting the qualifying adjectives, unless it has been precisely stated by me and/or you have independently verified it as being precise from other evidence. Errors and omissions excepted. Comments and corrections are welcome. If you use information from these pages, please give proper credit.

Special Note: Regarding the allegations that Veronica, wife of Rudolph Hoch, has a maiden name of UNK. That UNK maiden/family name is a high-tech, computer created, abbreviation for Unknown and UNK has become a genealogical urban legend in in many families its own right and will not die a natural death it seems. So let me add this special note and maybe it will at least be the silver bullet that kills this false tidbit for the Hoch family. If anyone else has access to online databases for the Hochs, I would recommend you put a link to this page or post a similar message therein about this UNK name issue. I have been a hobby genealogist for over 40 years. Hoch is in my ancestry. I have probably received 25 emails in the last year or two about a maiden name found online and/or being passed around by unknowing researchers in the last 10 years that Veronica's maiden name was UNK. UNK is a Abbreviation Found Online and was/is a computer software abbreviation which was used in some early genealogy software packages. It stands for UNKOWN. Whoever wrote that computer program was not a very good genealogist and should have just left the surname/maiden name field blank, put a question mark in that field if a place holder was needed, or fully spelled out the word Unknown. There are a lot of "UNK" birth named people floating around now on the internet because of that poorly thought out computer program. And it is being passed around the internet now like a virtual bad penny. Pretty soon the virtual reality, bad penny, family of UNK will be linked to every family in the world. Veronica is an example of that. Her maiden is not known, i.e, Unknown and is definitely not UNK, from my 30 years of traditional records research. I defy anyone to show me the primary source evidence for Veronica's maiden name being UNK. Of course I have heard of the nickname of "Unk" as short for "Uncle". However, I don't even think there is a family surname of UNK except for the wrong maiden family names created online and now even repeated in print by that poorly thought out computer software package. Just sharing this tidbit here and venting a bit ... as answering the increasing number of emails about this growing UNK family is getting a little bit tiring at this point in my life. It is like fighting a windmill with a wooden sword at times, but I keep trying. Let's see. What was that fellow's name anyway who was always fighting windmills. I think it was Don .... something. I can't remember. I guess it will have to be Don "Unk" until I remember. :-) With that bit of attempted humor we'll move on. I thought I'd trying posting this message here as another approach to killing this UNK family/surname/maiden name ... bad penny. :-)
