WILLIAM DESSENT HOCKRIDGE 1776

 

Parents unknown ( The Dessent family in the early 1800,s seem to be from Suffolk. The Barbour Collection show William born in Essex. I believe the name was probably Hawkridge as the family in Essex is generally Hawkridge not Hockridge.

 

William was born 25 Mar 1776 (1) in Essex, England. He went to America where he married Huldah Rogers on 8 Jan 1797 (1) in Lyme, Connecticut.

Huldah Rogers was born 11 Mar 1775 (1) in Lyme, Connecticut. Her parents are Matthew Rogers and Lois

William and Huldah had three children before William died. He was drowned at sea 26 Dec 1802. (1)
