Mary [Pruitt] Boydston died the 22nd of May 1809 and James Boydston died the 6th of February 1814 in Logan Co, Ky. After Samuel Pruitt died then Elizabeth [Hocker] Pruitt married John Riddle as shown in Samuel Pruitt’s probate dated the 5th of June 1765. Elizabeth, the 5th of June 1765 has delivered all of her right and title to the estate of her late husband Samuel Pruitt. We do not know of any children from John Riddle and Elizabeth [Hocker] Pruitt’s marriage. John Riddle was a widower with many children that Elizabeth helped to raise. Elizabeth [Hocker] Pruitt Riddle died in 1795 in Frederick Co, Md. 4a3) Robert Hocker jr (see Chapter 3a3). (Source Codes – MW3, Cd 206.) Robert Hocker was born the 11th of September 1706 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co, Md. Robert Hocker jr married Elizabeth Deakins about 1728 in Prince George’s Co, Md. Elizabeth was the daughter of John Deakins and Priscilla [Boone or Piles ?] of Prince George’s Co, Md. In many of the documents showing Robert they have his last name spelled Hooker, but that is a simple mistake, done many times and their children and grandchildren do spell their name Hooker. There are many real Hookers in Maryland at this time, but they all lived in and around Baltimore, Md and it started with their original migrant Thomas Hooker. Robert Hocker and Elizabeth Deakins had eight children, seven girls and a boy as shown in Robert’s will dated the 2nd of April 1751 and proved the 26th of June 1751 in Prince George’s Co, Md as follows: a) Mary Hocker was born about 1729 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. Mary Hocker married a “Sadler” in Frederick Co, Md. It is likely that her husbands name was James Sadler. We believe that Mary and her husband lived in Virginia, but at this time that is all we know about them. b) Elizabeth Hocker was born about 1730 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. c) Amy Hocker was born about 1732 in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. d) Rebecca Hocker was born about 1733 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. e) Ann Hocker was born about 1735 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. f) Alice Hocker was born about 1737 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. g) Tabitha Hocker born about 1738 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince Geoge’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. h) Robert Deakins Hocker1 (see Chapter 5a3h) was born about 1740 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md.

Then Robert Deakins Hocker married Ann Waugh the 26th of August 1764 in All Hallows Parish, Anne Arundel Co, Md. We do not know of any children from this marriage. Then Robert Deakins Hocker married Ruth Prather2 about 1790 in Montgomery Co, Md. Ruth was born in 1764 in Prince George’s Co, Md the daughter of James Prather (died before July of 1791) and Ann Turner.

The security was provided by her father Nicholas Hocker and Benjamin Thrasher’s brother-in-law John Ball of Talbot Co, Md. Benjamin Thrasher was probably the son of William Thrasher of Talbot Co, Md. Mary and Benjamin Thrasher sr had eight children, all born in Prince George’s Co, Md as follows: a) Thomas Thrasher (see Chapter 5c1a) was born the 29th of October 1725 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md.

Mary [Thrasher] Padgett died the 24th of January 1787 and John Padgett died in 1811 and both are buried in the Moravian Graveyard, Forsythe Co, NC. (Source Codes – MT1, TLCG3, Cd 206, Cd 208.) f) John Thrasher1 (see Chapter 5c1f) was born the 15th of May 1736 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co, Md and Frederick Co, Md. John Thrasher served as a private in Captain Alexander Beall’s company during the French and Indian War. John Thasher deserted before the final victory.

(Source Codes – TLCG3, T&D1.) g) Sarah Thrasher was born in 1737 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co, Md. Legend has Sarah Thrasher married Thomas Wells. At this time this is all we know about her. (Source Code – TLCG3.) h) Benjamin Thrasher jr was born in 1738 in Prince George’s Co, Md and raised in Prince George’s Co and Frederick Co, Md. Benjamin Thrasher jr was listed in the will of his mother and step-father William Spiers dated the 17th of October 1763 in Frederick Co, Md. Benjamin Thrasher jr and his half-sister Eleanor Spiers migrated to Pittsylvania Co, Va sometime after the 18th of June 1767. Benjamin Thrasher jr married Sarah White the 17th of October 1785 by Rev Lazarus Dobson in Pittsylvania Co, Va. Sarah was the daughter of Thomas White. The security for Benjamin Thrasher jr’s wife Sarah White was provided by his kinfolk Zachariah Pruitt (see Chapter 5a2d2). When Benjamin Thrasher jr married he was 47 years old and we are not sure how old his wife Sarah White was, but we do not know of any children from this marriage nor do we know anymore about them. (Source Codes – TLCG3, LCA, CLK2, MCC1.) Benjamin Thrasher sr died in 1740 in Frederick Co, Md and Mary [Hocker] Thrasher raised all of these children all by herself. According to the Will and Probate Mary [Hocker] Thrasher inherited everything from Benjamin Thrasher, which was a good thing, since she didn’t get married right away. Mary Hocker wrote a will that shows up in the land records for 1739 - 1743 for Prince George’s Co, Md on page 118 shows Page 626. “I Mary Thrasher of PG, widow, for the love and affection I have for my children hereafter named, viz. Thomas Thrasher, do give 7 lbs, to my daughter Mary the same, to my son John the same, to my son William the same, to my daughter Sarah the same, to my daughter Margaret the same, to my son Benjamin 10 lbs, all to be paid at the common age. And my dwelling plantation & the land thereunto belonging called the “Benjamin”, to my son Thomas after my death, during his natural life & afterwards to my son Benjamin. Signed the 21st of March 1743 and recorded the next day.” We know that Benjamin Thrasher sr had purchased this 100 acres called “The Benjamin” from the Beall family as shown in the Prince George Co, Md Deeds, Liber M, folio 174, dated the 9th of June 1726. Then Mary [Hocker] Thrasher married William Spiers about 1750 in Frederick Co, Md. William was a widower, and a tailor, and much older. Benjamin Thrasher was a planter, and when he died his eldest son, Thomas, who was 15 took over all of his dad’s work. As mentioned Mary [Hocker] Thrasher married for a second time to William Spiers about 1750, a widower with grown children. Mary [Hocker] Thrasher Spiers and William Spiers had a daughter, as follows: i) Eleanor Spiers (see Chapter 5c1i) was born about 1752 in Frederick Co, Md. Eleanor’s mother Mary [Hocker] Thrasher Spiers was about 39 when she had her ninth child, Eleanor Spiers. Eleanor Spiers was raised in Frederick Co, Md. After her parents died Eleanor Spiers migrated to Pittsylvania Co, Va with her half-brother Benjamin Thrasher jr. Eleanor Spiers1 married John Walters either the 5th of January 1778 or the 1st of April 1778 in Halifax Co, Va. John was the son of Thomas Walters and Lucy Walker. Eleanor and John Walters had four children, all born in Pittsylvania Co, Va. For information about their children, see Chapter 5c1i. Eleanor [Spiers] Walters died in 1831 in Pittsylvania Co, Va and John Walters died in 1836 in Halifax Co, Va. (Source Codes – LCA.) Mary [Hocker] Thrasher Spiers and William Spiers wrote a will dated the 17th of October 1763, and it mentions her children living with her, Eleanor Spiers and Benjamin Thrasher jr. Mary [Hocker] Thrasher Spiers must have died before the 18th of June 1767 because that is when her son Thomas Thrasher sold this land. 4c2) Philip Hocker sr (see Chapter 3c2). (Source Codes – VEP83, VLS1, VLS2, MMR1, MMR2, JTS1, Addendum 2.)

After Elizabeth Lee [Parkerson] Hocker died then William Hocker married Margaret Christman2 in 1791 in Montgomery Co, Md. Margaret was the daughter of Jacob Christman. There were no children that we are aware of from this marriage, as Margaret [Christman] Hocker died in 1792 in or on the way to Lincoln Co, Ky. William Hocker then married Molly Wilson the 14th of February 1796 in Lincoln Co, Ky. Molly and William Hocker did not have any children. William Hocker died in 1810 in Lincoln Co, Ky.

Nancy was born about 1754 in Frederick Co, Md the daughter of Weavour Barnes (born 1705 Md, first a blacksmith, then a planter, a veteran of the French and Indian Wars, died 1781 Md) and Elizabeth Waters (born 1710 Md, died 1785 Md) who married about 1736 in the St Barnabes Church in Queen Anne’s Parrish, Prince George’s Co, Md. Nancy Barnes’s paternal grandparents were Godfrey Barnes who married Elizabeth Weaver. Nancy Barnes’s maternal grandparents were Samuel Waters and Jane Dunston. Nancy Barnes’s great paternal grandfather may have been John Barnes who arrived in the Maryland colony about 1670. Nancy Barnes’s great maternal grandparents are Richard Weavor (who arrived in Va and then Md about 1647, died before the 15th of April 1689 Md) and Ann Guttridge (who died before the 4th of July 1713 in Prince George’s Co, Md).

About one hundred yards behind these remains is the Hocker/Goode Cemetery where Samuel Pruitt Hocker is buried. His brother Nicholas Hocker is also believed to be buried in this cemetery. Samuel Pruitt Hocker died in 1815 in Lincoln Co, Ky.
