Petition of Jacob Hockstetter to Governor Hamilton, 1762. To the Honorable James Hamilton, Esq., Lieutenant Governour of Pennsylvania, The Humble Petition of Jacob Hockstetler of Berks County, Humbly Sheweth: That about five Years ago your Petitioner with 2 Children were taken Prisoners, & his wife & 2 other Children were killed by the Indians, that one of the said Children who is still Prisoner is named Joseph, is about 18 Years old, and Christian is about 16 Years & a half old. That his House & Improve ments were totally ruined & destroyed. That your Petitioner understands that neither of his Children are brought down, but the Embassadour of King Kastateeloca, who has one of his Children is now here. That your Petitioner most humbly prays your Honour to interpose in this Matter, that his Children may be restored to him, or that he may be put into such a Method as may be effectual for that Purpose. And your Petitioner will ever pray, &c. his Aug. 13, 1762. Jacob X Hocksteter. mark The age of the boys as given in the petition was 18 and 16 y2 years res pectively, the petition dated August 13th, 1762. The writer has reason to believe that the father had in mind their age at time of capture, that being the age given by my grandfather, who saw them both in later years, as well as their brother John who saw them being taken away. Besides, it is not likely that Joseph and Christian if they were only 13 and 11 Yi years old would pick up their guns to defend the family and. beg their father to allow them to shoot, their parents belonging to the defenceless people. The writer has yet several palpable reasons why he thinks the father in giving their age had in mind the time of capture, but the reader can have his choice. [S98] Family Data Collection - Deaths. [S149] Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler, the immigrant of 1736. We have seen that Joseph Hostetler remained a taxpayer in Heidelberg Township till 1806. The next we know of him is in 1810, when he purchased from Joseph Root and wife a farm located in Fermanagh Township, Mifflin County, Pa., in what was known as the Lost Creek Valley. The records at Lewistown, Pa., show the inventory of his estate was filed August 24, 1812, and that his widow was named Barbara. She died shortly before January 13, 1813, when an inventory of her estate was filed. In the settlement of her es tate her administrator paid an attorney's fee for advice in the estate of Barbara Kauffman, whom we take to have been Barbara Hostetler. Her husband, Joseph, was buried by the side of his oldest son, John, on the Solomon Brubacker farm, a mile east of Mifflin, Pa.

Some of the captives accompanied the retiring army to Pittsburg, arriving just before the close of the year 1764, while others, who were too far from the Tuscarawas Valley, could not be brought in and re turned until the following spring. It is not known whether Joseph returned late in the fall of 1764 or the following spring.
