The Hockaday ancestry profiles have been tangled for awhile. I've attempted to correct, but we have too many files out there.
A confusion a few generations up the tree was made a few years ago when trees were copied in to Geni with out documentation and a big range of dates or no dates added for the ancestors.
Several William Hockadays were confused. - Online trees over the years have merged the tree wrong.
It ends up each time if we merge the files with wrong parents for the DAR James Hockaday.
Think at this point, personally I may give up. My time may be better spent on other parts of my family tree.
Perhaps a group can get together and get this solved- once and for all.
