LDS lists (for what it may be worth...) a Godfrey BOCHIUS marrying
a Harriet RAMBO on 27 February 1845 in Gloucester, New Jersey. Now
they list this same fellow as having been born about 1823 in
Pennsylvania.

The name BOCKIUS is a well-established one in Pennsylvania. Jane
Peppler has a homepage on the surname:

http://www.duke.edu/~jpeppler/gen/frames.html

If you want the most current data, she encourages you to click on the
spot leading you to her new Rootsweb site, which does not appear at
the top of the page when you click on it, but reveals the data,
anyway...

On Jane's site is a Gottfried Bockius, earlier, and a Francis William
Bockius. From family tradition and just downright hunches, I feel it
is likely that this one was used to name my great grandmother Fannie.
Likely it was Frances Bockius Fitzgerald.

Any help appreciated on this twisted corkscrew...

Thanks,
Vince Summers
