Existing Research Notes

• When doing research on this line it is wise to check all spellings of this name. Two known spellings are Huber and Hoover.
• Husband Michael - lived in Cocalico Twp. Lancaster Co. in the 1760s and 70s. In 1782, he moved to Londonderry Twp. (now Dauphin Co.) and died there. About 1760, he married Anna Maria ----. Dates on her gravestone in Hershey are 1 Feb 1741 - 2 Oct 1821. The Huber family tradition is that Michael's wife's name was Anna Maria Binkley. I have found no primary evidence to prove or disprove that.
• The Lutheran Register in the Records of Pastoral Acts of the Muddy Creek Church, East Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, translated by Hilliam J. Heinke and Frederick S. Weiser (Brenigsville, PA: The Pennsylvania. German Society, 1981) lists two births of the approximate time period: On p. 57: Elizabeth Margaret, 10 Nov 1741 (bp. 10 Dec 1741), d/o Michael Binckely. On p. 59: Anna Maria, Middle of March 1742 (bp. 12 Sep 1742), d/o John Binckely, Muddy Creek.
• According to the family tradition of the descendants of Michael Huber, 1737-1816, he married Anna Maria Binkley about 1760. I have found no primary evidence to support or refute this assumption - and would love to! There is a little evidence to suggest a tie with the Binkleys.
• Records of Pastoral Acts at Emanuel Lutheran Church, known in the eighteenth century as the Warwick congregation, near Brickerville, Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 1743-1799. (Sources and Documents of the Pennsylvania Germans, VIII. Brenigsville, PA: The Pennsylvania German Society, 1983). p. 77-78. Children of Michael Huber: p77. 13 Dec 1763 (bp. 1 Epiphany 1763 [sic], a daughter Barbara. Sp:Bernard Gert[n]er and wife; p78. 13 Nov 1766. Christina (bp. 7 Dec 1766). Sp: Joannes Ernst and Christina Huberin .
• 13 Sep 1770. Margaretha (bp. 7 Oct 1770). Sp: Joseph Binckele and wife Barbara; 2 Apr 1772. Susanna (bp. 10 May 1772). Sp: Peter Beinhauer and wife Christina [Susannah re-entered on p. 106. as child of Mich. Huber and Maria.]. Also, Michael Huber was a sponsor for a child of Joseph Binkley in 1770.
• Michael Huber and Maria moved to Londonderry Twp. in present Dauphin Co. in 1782. He died there in 1816. Maria died 2 Oct 1821.
• In his family Bible, Michael Huber wrote (translated) "Michael Huber, son of Georg Huber was born in 1737 the 22nd day of September. And my wife Maria Huber in was born 1741 the 3rd day of January." [can't make the umlaut on the u here].
• We have not been able to prove which George Huber was his father. Possibly the one who wrote an unrecorded will in 1749, with members of Brickerville Lutheran as witnesses. I know from the 1759 tax list that Michael was in Cocalico Twp. as a "single man for himself.".

Research Notes of Bruce Fosnocht(Fosnocht-12)

For many years, there has been much misinformation and confusion between the various Johannes(John) Binkley immigrants to Pennsylvania.

Between 2008 and 2019, the European Research Committee of the group Binkleys in America was successful in determining the correct origins and children of the John Binkley immigrants and my ancestor, Hans Michael Binkley. These corrected Binkley ancestries are now posted on Wikitree for all to see and use. This was a difficult research, as is explained in the Research Notes of the appropriate Wikitree profiles.

Anna Maria Binkley Huber (Binkley-429) was one of the 6 Binkley children who had been previously listed as children of Johannes Binkley, Sr. ( Binggeli-38) of Berks County, PA.

There were two John Binkleys living quite close to each other in the Cocalico Valley of Berks and Lancaster counties. Johannes Binkley, Sr., the known 1736 immigrant, came to Berks County and lived his remaining life on his property called Wheatfield in Berks County. He said he was a cooper in his will, so he was not the John Binkley who built a mill in Cocalico Township of Lancaster County. We had previously assigned all the children in the Cocalico Valley to Johannes, Sr, because we had no other logical father for them.

In 2016, members of the Binkley Name Study determined that her true father was the man we called Cocalico John (Binggeli-82).

We have concluded that he was the immigrant named Johannes Benkelker on the ship Mortonhouse in 1729.

In fact, there are no paper records of a John Binkley in Cocalico township. There are research documents at the Lancaster County Historical Society that state that the Binkley mill on Galen Hall Road in Cocalico Township of Lancaster County was built about 1749 by a miller named John Binkley (Binggeli-82). This is the man named Hannes Binckely (Johannes Binkley), who (along with my ancestor Michael Bueckel (Hans Michael Binkley)) signed a request on  May 19, 1743, calling for Pastor Jacob Lischy to be assigned to the Muddy Creek Reformed Conregation East Cocalico Twp. Lancaster County. This is the church in which Anna Maria Binkley Huber was baptized in 1742.

Anna Maria was NOT the child of the Hans Binkley (Binkley-281) who married Anna Barbara Landis in Lampeter Township, Lancaster County. They were of the Mennonite faith.

She was NOT the child of "Johannes Jacob Heinrich Binggeli Binkley Sr". There was no such person.
