The Stockman Family

 

Johann Engel Stockman came to America in 1749, giving allegiance to King George II at Philadelphia Courthouse on 17 Oct of that year. He was baptized Johann Engelberth Stockmann on 2 Dec 1725 and married Anna Maria Schmidt on 2 July 1747 in the German Reformed Church in Burbach, Nassau Siegen (Westphalia). The same Church records reveal a daughter of this couple, Anna Elisabeth, b. 24 Oct 1748.

 

After arriving in America, Engel Stockman lived for a few years in Frederick Co., MD, then came to the S.C. Dutch Fork. Ingle Stockman obtained a 133 acre grant near Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Pomaria, in 1786 and which he sold shortly afterward to John Kinard (Nby Deeds I-30). In this deed the occupation of Ingle Stockman is given as Surgeon. When he sold land in 1786, his wife's name was given as "Katherine."

 

Angel Stockman lost a horse in service under General Pinckney during the Rev. War. (AA7402). John Stockman gave 20 dys. service in 1779 as horseman and Peter Stockman served 20 dys. as horseman in 1781 in Capt. Leitner's Co., Col Water's Regt. (AA7405, 7406). Henry Stockman served in militia duty in Water's Regt. after the fall of Charlestown (AA7404).

 

The sons of Johann Engel Stockman are believed to have been Frederick, Peter, George, Christopher, Henry, and John. Peter and Henry Stockman, as well as a widow, Barbara Stockman, are found in the 1790 census of Newberry Dist. Christopher Stockman, according to his Rev. War Pension application, was in KY in 1790.

 

The daughter, Anna Elisabeth, is thought to have married John Kinard, Jr., son of John Kinard, Sr. and wife, Mary.
