I've found a transcription of the 1810 Clearfield Co. PA census which raises a serious question:
KEPHEART, Honacker......00001..00000..1 slave
KEPHEART, Henry.........21010..21010..0
KEPHEART, Andrew........00100..00100..0
KEPHEART, George........00100..00100..0
"Honacker" looks to me like the census taker's poor attempt to spell "Heinrich", the German version of "Henry". I haven't seen the original handwriting - could "Honacker" also look like "Nicholas"?
The fact that there were no later Nicholases, but plenty of Henrys, would seem to support the idea that the original Clearfield Co. settler was named Heinrich, not Nicholas.
