I believe this Cyrus Hocker was the son of Samuel Hocker and Elizabeth Rudy, daughter of Jonas Rudy and Barbara Overkirsch. They married 16 Oct 1801 in Bethel Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.
Samuel Hocker was born 10 Aug 1774 and died 2 Nov 1808. He was buried 6 Nov 1808 in Scherer's Cemetery in Paxton Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvnia.
When Samuel died he left his widow Elizabeth and their 5 children:
1. Elias Hocker
2. Jonas Hocker, born circa 1803, went to Crawford Co, Ohio
3. Anna Maria Hocker, born cira 1805, died Jul 1859, Killinger, Upper Paxton Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, married John Noll
4. Cyrus Hocker, born circa 1806, went to Crawford Co, Ohio
5. Sarah Hocker, born circa 1809, went to Crawford Co, Ohio
I believe he had two children with a prior wife:
1. Solomon Hocker, born circa 1795/1801
2. Jesse Hocker, born circa 1795/1801
Samuel Hocker appears in the Paxton township tax returns first in 1805.
Hope this helps.
