William, John, Jacob, John Scott, Henry, Waymon Headrick
I am descended from all of the Headricks listed in the subject line. I have this line going all the way back to Germany 1651 with Michael where the last name was listed as Hedderich. Michael's son Carl (Coblin) Hedderich and his wife Elizabeth Ermoldt came to America in 1733 and on the passenger list it shows the name as Hetrick. Along with them came four children...John Houst Hetrick, William Hetrick, Catrina Hetrick, and Cohan (Henry)Henrick Hetrick. Coblin did not like it in America so he returned but his son Cohan (Carl) remained in the states. There is a land deed in Berks County Pennsylvania(Deed Book 12 page 21) in the estate of Henry Hedrick with mentions of his son William with wife Margaret living in Hanover Township. The deed is between the heirs...William and Margaret, Joseph, Peter and Catherine, John Fiberger and Catherine, Peter Feg and Abalena, and Henry Jr.. William was born in 1744 in Lancaster PA and was a soldier of the Revolutionary War under the command of General George Washington. He is now buried in Headricks Chapel Cemetery in Wear's Valley, Sevier County, Tennesee. Here the line continues with the information in the book The "Connections" in East Tennessee with John, Then Jacob P. Sr., then John Scott, then Henry Hill, and finally my great grandfather Waymon Headrick. I am mainly looking for information on the wives of all these Headricks. Cohan (Henry) Headrick was born in 1714 in Germany and died in 1785 in Berks County, PA. with no wife listed anywhere for him. William J. Headrick was born December 25, 1744 in Lancaster PA and Died March 6, 1835 in Wear's Valley, Sevier County Tn. and was Married to Maria Margaret Meyers who was born in 1747 and died in 1796. Their son John was born in 1775 in PA and Died in 1867 and was Married to Elizabeth (Lizzie)Myers born 1775, it is said in North Carolina. Their son Jacob P. Sr. born August 12, 1802 in Blount County, Tn and died in 1880 in Murray County, Ga. married Mary Polly Rice on December 12, 1823. She was born around 1800 and died in Murray County, GA.. I have information on John Scott Headricks Wife Rhoda but their son Henry H. Headrick...His wifes family family i can't find. Henry was born in 1869 and died in 1949 his wife was Martha Josephine Ann Dunn born 1867 and died 1949. She often went by Josie and according to the census records she was born in Georgia. I am also having problems finding my great grandmother's family. Waymon Headrick's wife was Cynthia Mae....Slagle is said to be her real last name but many people have it listed as Martin. Shewas in an orphanage in Chattanooga by the age of 9 and not long after ended up with a man by the name of Charles Leonard Martin. Unfortunately the orphanage burned many years ago so all of those records were lost. My grandmother had a brother named Charles Leonard Headrick Jr. and according to her it was a possibility that while Cynthia was pregnant is when she married my great grandfather Waymon. So my guess would be that is why the Jr. but since she married Waymon before the birth Charles took the last name Headrick.On Cynthia's headstone it says she was born in 1908 but if memory serves me right my grandmother said he sister had told her i was wrong so it is possible it was 1906. I really didn't intend to make this into a book lol but im hoping with the more facts listed the more information can be dug up. Any and all help is much appreciated. Thank you.
