Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.].

    Rsrch. Note:
    Following: "The Trail Of The Conestoga" !

    *Our pioneer ancestor,JACOB HECKENDORN journeyed to Canada from a depressed Pennsylvania in 1822, as a bachelor with other hardy, adventurous Mennonites travelling, some by horseback, some walking on foot and others by their covered wagons, known as 'the Conestoga Wagon', named after the locale in Pennsylvania where they were first built. They were hoping to find good rich, low cost farming land on which to settle and build their new farms. It would be out of the virgin forests along the banks of the Grand River in Waterloo County.

    *It was here that young Jacob decided to 'set his roots' and purchased 224 acres of land located in the German Company Tract from Peter Eby in 1825. The farm lot, known as GCT31S (German Company Tract,Lot 31, south half) was located partly on what today is known as Fischer-Hallman Road in Waterloo, Ontario.

    *Jacob and his young wife MARY MILLER, raised their seven children on this farm which in 1971, at the time of the publishing of "The Heckendorn Family History and Genealogy" book by Vera Hallman Hunsberger, was still standing. The home, famed for it's high narrow windows in the upstairs and it's large wooden frame barn on the west side of Hallman Road, would certainly be out of place with the commercial plaza now on the west corner and the suburban homes surrounding the area today.

    *The David Eby Cemetery, located on the south-east corner of Erb Street West and Fischer-Hallman Road, contains several Heckendorn markers, some with their inscriptions wiped out by weather and time, but two are yet very readable. They are Joseph Heckendorn's and that of his wife, Elizabeth Reist. Joseph, b. 07 Sept. 1836 d. 15 Nov. 1886 ,2nd. son of Jacob and Mary Miller, has inscribed on his marker below his name, the following, "Infant Heckendorn" and below "dau.Heckendorn" . Next to his marker is that of Elizabeth his wife, on which is inscribed; "Elizabeth Reist 1841-1936 wife of Joseph Heckendorn and Samuel S. Snider."

    The grave site of the author Vera Hallman Hunberger is also located here in the front row, next to a short driveway, just a few head-stones north of the Heckendorn markers.

    I. JACOB HECKENDORN b. 02 June 1803 PA. d. 16 May 1892, Waterloo Co.. *Jacob met Mary MILLER, from Cumberland Co. PA., in Waterloo Co., married her 10 Nov. 1833. Mary was b. 06 June 1806 d. 15 Sept. 1867, daughter of Jacob Miller b. 1777, Montgomery Co. PA., d. 1853 Waterloo Co. Ont. Canada and Magdelena BRICKER, b. 1784 Lancaster Co. PA., d. 1853 Waterloo Co. Ont. Canada. Jacob Miller and Magdelena Bricker had five children, and the family emigrated to Waterloo Co. in 1825.

    *2nd.m.According to: 'Ontario Marriage Reg. # 012368, 1890' "JACOB HACKEDORN, 81 (*87) yrs.,living in Waterloo Town, born PA, Widower, s/o Christian and Christina Hackedorn, married Elizabeth KURTZE, 53 yrs., widow, living in Waterloo Town, b. Grosch, Hessen, Ger, d/o Heinrich and Christine Hess. Witnesses: Martin Schmidt/Caroline Wurster. Sen. of Preston. 14 August 1890 Preston, Ontario. Groom: Mennonite, Bride: Lutheran. Rev. Wurster." *Correct age.

    *The JACOB HECKENDORN/MARY MILLER family, of seven sons and one daughter are listed within this Family History, as recorded in "The Heckendorn Family History and Genealogy" compiled by the Late Vera Hallman Hunsberger,(except for two sons), with additional information and comments by yours truly.
    The children of Jacob Heckendorn and Mary 'Polly' Miller (Muller)
    were: John, Joseph, Jacob M., Veronica, Christian, Menno, Danie.

    BIRTH DATES HAVE BEEN REMOVED THROUGHOUT THIS LISTING, FOR THE PERSONAL SECURITY OF THOSE DESCENDANTS CONSIDERED TO BE LIVING AT THE INCEPTION OF THIS "FAMILY HISTORY".

    II.JOHN HECKENDORN b.*22 Jan. 1835 d. 08 Dec. 1916. married Mary Huber Good, 27 June 1856; b. 29 Dec. 1837, d. 28 Feb. 1921. *John and Mary were my ggrandparents.

    John and Mary lived on his father Jacob's farm for a few years as a day-labourer, and several of their children were born there. After leaving the home-farm, they moved to Maryborough township just above Moorefield where they farmed. Later, they lived in Conestoga for some time and finally retired near Breslau. There were twelve children born to this family and all were faithful members of the Mennonite church. They were as follows: Anna(Nancy); Veronica(Franey); Moses *(my grandfather); Barbara; Mary Ann; Leah; Noah; Ezra; Susannah; Lydiann; Israel, and an infant son born and died 23 March 1874.

    Mary Huber Good's mother, was Barbara HUBER, b.6 June 1809 in PA, and she at the young age of thirteen, travelled with her parents and other families also from Pennsylvania, to Waterloo County in 1822. There is the possiblity that our Jacob may have travelled with the same group.
    Mary's father, Benjamin GOOD b. 24 Nov. 1809, arrived in Waterloo Co.in 1831 at the age of twenty-two and two years later he and Barbara were married. There were two children born into this union, Mary and her older brother Peter, b. 28 Dec. 1835. Mary was at the very tender age of three weeks, when her mother died in Jan. 1838. Benjamin remarried to Barbara Berge b. 19 Sept. 1813 and they had ten children between 1840/1856. The large Huber home located in the present city of Cambridge, was located between the then towns of Preston and Galt, and it was later renovated into apartments and was still inhabited in the mid 1970's.

    II. JOSEPH HECKENDORN b. 07 Sept. 1836 d. 15 Nov. 1886. m. Elizabeth REIST 3 Oct. 1865, b. 1841, d .1936, d/o Daniel Reist & Leah ?.
    After Joseph's death, Elizabeth married Samuel S. Snider. *Both Joseph and Elizabeth are buried side by side in the David Eby Cemetery in Waterloo. We only know of and surmise that there were just the two children as listed on Joseph's headstone.

    II. CHRISTIAN HECKENDORN b. 04 June 1843 d. 28 Aug. 1922. m. Annie BEARINGER, 21 May 1868, b. 09 Sept. 1848 d. 15 July 1902, d/o David Bearinger & Catharina Lorenz. One daughter, Lydia was born to Christian and Annie, 02 May 1869 d. 28 Aug. 1922.
    Christian remarried to Sarah Litchy Bauman, 16 Oct. 1910. She was b. 08 Apr. 1858 d. 04 Sept. 1938.

    II. JACOB M. HECKENDORN b.1 March 1839 d. ?, married Mary SANBURN (Sandborne) 7 June 1868, b. 1842 d.?, d/o William Sanburn & Elizabeth Kuhner. They had ten children as listed: Sarah; Jesse: Ezra; Lucinda; May; Dan; William; Emma; Clara; Edith.
    III. WILLIAM H. HECKENDORN b. August 22, 1880 Woolwich Twsp., d. January 10, 1956, interred in Elmira Cemetery m. Clara KLINCK.Members St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Elmira. Children, 2.

    II. MENNO HECKENDORN b. 13 Jan. 1845 d. 29 June 1921. Married Lucy Clemmer b. 13 Dec. 1848 d. 12 May 1889. Menno remarried to Elizabeth BERGY b. 06 May 1860 d. 09 Feb. 1946. Menno and Elizabeth had two children,* Ella Viola and Clayton.

    II. VERONICA HECKENDORN b.18 March 1841 d. ? Married Isaac STAUFFER and they had three children; Albert; Mary Ann; Isabelle. There is a listing for a Veronica interred at the Detweiler Mennonite Cemetery, Roseville, Ont., but it is Veronica (Franey), daughter of John and Mary (Good) Heckendorn, who married George Hallman.

    II. * DANIEL HECKENDORN b. 13 Dec. 1847 d. 20 Sept. 1867. Buried in Martin's Mennonite Cemetery, Waterloo, Ont. with parents and other members of family. At this time, we have no information regarding Daniel other than the above as he was not listed as a member of the family in the 'original' genealogy history book.


    We will proceed with the descendants of JOHN, CHRISTIAN, *JACOB (what little information we have), and MENNO HECKENDORN families, *and if possible VERONICA (HECKENDORN) STAUFFER'S family.
    JOSEPH, as earlier mentioned, died at 50 yrs. and was buried with the two children and we know of no others. DANIEL was just "discovered" and we assume he died unmarried, as he died at 19 yrs. old.

My wife and I supplied the music for their evening dance. Donald Eitel, an old neighbour and the chap that was hired to replace me when I left Carlings, was awarded his 25 Year pin that evening. Jokingly, I reminded him it was because of me that he was able to receive it.

    One of the icons of Doon Heritage Crossroads' collection, as an example, is the Moses Eby desk, made in 1817 by the apprentice cabinetmaker Moses Eby, who had emigrated to Waterloo County from Pennsylvania. Its elaborate marquetry, inlay and other construction details attest to the skill and fine workmanship of Eby and many of those early builders who crafted beautiful furniture without benefit of mechanical power.
