I heard of Heckman, Merkel and Rebecca. Do you remember a Joel Hackman and John A. Heckman that did live Reading, Pennsylvania and were from Shoemakersville, Pa.? Did your family ever have a reunion or have photos of different lines of Heckan. I believe John A. Heckman was in the Spanish American War. Hope t hear from you soon. Thank you kindly. My Joel and John A. Heckman. John married Leila Bright Heckman from Norristown, Pa. and then were living in Readin, Berks Co., Pa.
