Seeking inf. on the names HOCKER, KERSEY, TEATER.
Zorado Jane HOCKER b: 10 Apr 1841 Garrard Co. d: 29 Apr 1880
Garrard Co. m: William C. TEATER 9 Sep 1858 Jessamine Co.,
KY (also listed in Garrard Co., KY). I have background on the
TEATER line; however, I show Clayton HOCKER as father of Zorado
since he signed as bondsman on her marriage. I found
Clayton HOCKER m: Martha Ann KERSEY on 28 May 1838 Garrard Co.,
KY & he is later shown with a wife Elizabeth. Need
parents of Clayton HOCKER & names of other children. I
found a birth of a Clara F.A. HOCKER on 20 May 1852 Garrard Co.;
however, Clayton is shown alone on the 1860 Census Jessamine Co.,
KY next to Wm. TETER & Zorado J. & son Clayton N.
1870 Jessamine Co., KY Census shows Clayton (55),Elizabeth (31).
I'm only assuming Clayton is father of Zorado Jane HOCKER since
he signed as bondsman at her marriage; however, it did not state
he was her father. Will appreciate any help given re: Clayton
HOCKER and his parents. Also, if anyone has definiate
information showing him as father of Zorado.
