Andreas Stocker, probably the fifth son of Michael and Margart was "born in Perks Gaunty" according to the inscription on the stone in the Old Forks Cemetery, often called the Old Stocker Burying Ground, at Stockertown, Pa. The tombstone gives his age at the time of his death as being in his eightieth year, which would give his birth date as between 1743-44, but an entry in his old family Bible reads:"I, Andreas Stocker, was born on Ascension day in the year 1746."
Andreas and his four living brothers were enrolled as Soldiers
of the Revolutions. Andreas was a private in Captain Jacob Buss' Company of the First Company in the Second Battalion of Northampton County; PA Archives 5th Series Volume 8 page 143. His brother Adam was in the same company. Of his wife, Juliana Maria, the entry in the German Bible says,"I was united in holy matrimony with Julie Anna a born nee Watuertsen (Watsworth)."
Andreas Stocker's will was exhibited 4 September 1823.
