Hockaday is not an American Native name!!!
It originates from Cornwall and Devon, England and has its origins in Hockday or Hocktide which is still celebrated in parts of Cornwall. Hockday was, during the Middle Ages, the Rent collection day for the area and the opportunity was taken to have a beanfeast and general festivities.
The earliest recorded Hockadays ( with this spelling) stem from circa 1594.
I am carrying out a one name study of Hockaday and variants and am compiling a comprehensive database of all civil registration births marriages and deaths. I am also looking in detail at the IGI and some of the interesting
sidelines such as transportation and emmigration. I am concentrating on England at the moment but will eventually cross the pond with, hopefully, some links between English Hockadays and their American Descendants.
This study is registered with the Guild of One Name Studies of which I am a member.
Please feel free to contact for any info which I may be able to pass on.Philip Evans
