The Simon Henrich Höcker on the ship St Andrew in 1741 was traveling with his son Wilhelmus Höcker age 16, and his son-in-law to be Johannes Henrich Walter age 23. Also with them on this ship were allied families from Westerwald, including Ludwig William Becker, Frederick Christian Becker, and Daniel Hendrick Esch. (see https://archive.org/details/pennsylvaniagerm42stra/page/304/mode/2up); The three young men: Beckers and Esch, move to the top of the list when signing the oath, but sign in succession, and Simon Henrich Höcker and son in law Johannes Henrich Walter, sign together at the bottom of the list of signatures. Simon clearly is literate, and signs his name HÖCKER, not Hager.
see also https://archive.org/details/pennsylvaniagerm43stra/page/314/mode/2up for signature.
We have his baptism, his marriage, his selling of his farm in Laad just prior to immigration, and a statement he makes about immigrating at that time. We have his son, a pastor, who remained in Westerwald, noting at the baptism of his daughter that his sister Charlotte, the sponsor, was in America. His wife was a godparent to one of the Beckers. There are more connections.
So, I would like to know what records there are of Simon Henrich Höcker that prove he was in North Carolina and that he married a Heibrock. Or that he ever went by "Hager". Or that he died in 1757, North Carolina. Or that this Johan Hager is his son.
Thank you.
