1 Barbara [Maria Barbara] [Anna Maria Barbara] EICHELBERGER^1,2,3,4,5

• Administration of the Estate of Barbara Hoke was granted Mar.10, 1817 to her son Jacob Hoke¹⁴

• Historical Sketches of York County in the Biographical History of York County [bio for A W Eichelberger] ³, names her as the dtr of fatherís first wife Doerners,  and among the first four of her fatherís children, shown  as being born in Germany and so accompanying her parents to America in 1728, saying ìThe children by his first wife were Martin, Frederick, Anna Margeret (married to Vincent Keefer), Barbara (married to Andrew Hoke) and Elizabeth (married to Jacob Smyser). His first four children, as above stated, were born in Germany. These children, after marriage, located in and around York.î³. Trinity Church records indicate a son George born in Pennsylvania shortly before his mother's death neglected in this source . It also appears there were other girls in the family evidenced by church records in Germany, also given the ìsaintís nameî Barbara (common practise among early German protestant immigrants and first generations here) in Germany.

It would appear Barbara Eichelberger, identified as born Germany and dtr of first wife was in fact born after her familyís arrival in 1728 despite the entry from the historical sketches while two other daughters of that marriage born in Germany, Margaretha Barbara EICHELBERGER and Anna Barbara  EICHELBERGER were neglected by that source and may be the reason for confusion as to the parentage of Barbara EICHELBERGER who married Andrew HOKE  in that record.
• Jack Hoke gives her birth between 1735 - 1738 York Co., Manheim Twp., PA⁵ , a daughter of the father's first wife,  but there is no citation or primary source offered.
• The Eichelberger Family pages¹, [mounted by JoAnn Eichelberger Bauer-a comprehensive and fully sourced site]   names her as dtr of 2nd wife Maria Magdalena Becker, providing a birth date, 15 Jan 1743 Lancaster Pa corresponding with Lichy's records.  ^{1, 6} The birthdate alone makes it an impossibility that she was the daughter of the first wife DOERNERS.  Her entry at this site states  " ix. Maria Barbara Eichelberger - b. 15 Jan 1743 (Bap. 21 Aug. 1743, Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster, PA.; Spon.: Michael Immel & wf., Maria Barbara..); d. 10 Mar. 1817; bur. Jefferson Cem. near Louisville, KY.; m. Aug 1765 to Andrew Hoke; had issue: Glora [sic] , Barbara, Elizabeth) ."  Please note that the "Glora [sic]"  here is given from the source exactly as it appears. Several children are neglected who are found in HOKE research  included in the progeny list below. There IS a Gloria Hoke, christened  Maria Clara HOKE, who appears in these webpages, intertwined with this family group with whom the source that the Eichelberger pages utilized in referencing "Glora" may have been confused. She is the probable daughter of Johann Jacob HOCK. and the link in his name is to her entry in his pages-her son Adam SWOPE married Lydia SPANGLER, daughter of the Maria Clara HOKE below, progeny of the union here discussed.

• Birth: 20 Mar 1732/3, 20 Sep 1733/Baptised Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, New Holland, PA.15
• Death: 3 Jan 1800, Jeffersontown, Jefferson Co., KY. [wrote a will Sept. 23, 1799, proved Jan. 7, 1800 in Jefferson Co., Kentucky.]
• Father: Johann Jacob  HOCK (1694-<1766)
• Mother: Anna Margaretha Possibly Mueller (~1710-~1785)

Children of Maria Eichelberger and Andrew (Andreus) HOKE [Surnamed HOKE) :

• Adam(1760-1832)
• Clara [Maria Clara]  (1762-1818) [Continues Writer's Direct Line]
• 'Jacob' Johann Jacob (1771-1840)
• Peter (1773-1857)
• Barbara [Maria Barbara] (1776-1854)
• Leonard (1779-1823)
• Elizabeth (1781-1846)
• Gloria  BEWARE [May be the same as Clara [Maria Clara] found as sister above.
There is a Gloria HOKE, dtr of Andrew mentioned in grandmother Magdalena [Maria Magdalena] Eichelberger's will along with Gloria's sisters Barbara, and Elizabeth with Clara [Maria Clara ] is not mentioned at all ¹⁵ .  "Glora [Sic]' is mentioned in one source as given[Eichelberger pages¹] , and apparantly questioned, or the name is questioned at that source .  Gloria may have been a common variant for Maria Clara. There is a Gloria Hoke so named by her husband in his will, though she was  christened  Maria Clara HOKE, and found as Maria Clara HOKE as adult in church records and ,who appears in these webpages, intertwined with this family group Maria Clara "Gloria" HOKE  is the probable daughter of Barbara EICHELBERGER's in-laws,  Johann Jacob HOCK and his wife Anna Margaretha Possibly Mueller]  Maria Clara "Gloria" Hoke's  son Adam SWOPE married Lydia SPANGLER, daughter of  Maria Clara HOKE (1762-1818),  [purported] sister to this "Glora [Sic]" entry.
