Hi Carole,I received some information from my 4th cousin that I found on the internet.Here is what she told me:Johann Christoffel SCHAKE (my 5th great-grandfather), born 1714 (?) Palatinate area of Germany, died 10 Dec. 1796.Sail of "Snow Molly" from Amsterdam via Dover, England.Landed in Philadelphia and took oath of allegance 10 Sept. 1737.Oath is on record somewhere in Piladelphia.Trying to locate a copy of it.When he took the oath, he changed the German spelling to the way it was being pronounced here.John Christopher SHOCKEY.Settled in Bucks City, PA-Amish Community.Land grant of 1820 acres by Lord Farifax, "Third Survey of Sarah's Delight".Original documents reported to be on file somewhere in Annaplois, MD.In 1765, The Mason-Dixie Line divided his property, putting part of it in Maryland and part in Pennsylvania.There is suppose to be a place called "Shockey Station Road" and Shockey Station" which is still on this land.He was married to a Barbara (unknown maiden name), born circa 1714 and died about 1772.They had 3 daughters and 6 sons.The childrens info is as followed:Valentine SHOCKEY b. 1739, Elizabeth SHOCKEY b. 1741, John Aaron SHOCKEY b. 1743, Barbara SHOCKEY b. 1745, Magdalene SHOCKEY b. 1747, Jacob SHOCKEY b.1750, Isaac SHOCKEY b. 1752, Abraham SHOCKEY b. 1755, and Christian Christopher SHOCKEY (my 4th great-grandfather) b. 1756 d. 1829.I am looking into obtaining Christian's military records.I have notes that he was at the Battle of Trenton, that was fought Dec. 25 & 26, 1776.I also have notes that he was tried for a general court marshall in Yorkstown, 12 June 1778, by order of the Board of War, Col. Thomas P. Hartley, president.He is also mentioned in the letters of General George Washington, 14 June 1778, about his pardon. Johann then in 1773 married a widow, Anna Marie Compton who had a daughter Catherine who took the Shockey name. If any of this rings a bell with you, please e-mail me and let me know.Thank you.Carole ([email protected])
