Hesbrook/Hessbrook Families in America!
In Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, California and New Mexico, one can find Hesbrook families. The name is spelled a couple different ways, but the belief is that they are all related in some way. The New York clan has their own web page and they have a Hasbrouck Family Association. This page deals mainly with the Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, New Mexico, and California branches, specifically with the descendants of Daniel Hesbrook and Juanita Torres/Dolores.
According to the death certificate for Helena Hessbrook Falcon, her parents are listed as being Daniel Hessbrook of Englando [sic] and Juanita Torres of New Mexico. According to the death certificate for Albert Hesbrook, his parents are listed as being Daniel Hesbrook and Juanita Dolores. Torres and Dolores sound too much alike to not be the same person. As for the spelling of the last name, many of Albert's own descendants - brothers even - spell their name either Hesbrook or Hessbrook. I believe these two - Albert Hesbrook and Helena Hessbrook - are brother and sister.
(Regarding the Hesbrook's in New Mexico:
I know of a Dr. Joseph Hesbrook who is a Plains Indian. You can find him at American Indian Tea Company. The Santa Ana Indian Reservation packs product for AIT. His name is Joseph Sung Nica (Lakota Sioux meaning, No Horses) and he is of the first generation off the reservation. Dr. Hesbrook combines the old traditions with education to bring about a higher knowledge and understanding. Mechele Hesbrook is of Irish descent. I'd love to know more about these two! Besides, my great-grandmother Delfina told me that Juanita Torres was from New Mexico... Hmmm... What's the link there?!?!?!?! :))
Helena Hessbrook was born about 1873 in Lampasas, Texas, USA, according to her death certificate. She married Pedro Gonzales Falcon in Texas and they had at least 10 children in the Hill Country of Texas. Pedro died first in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas, USA, and then Helena died on 04 Oct 1952 in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, USA. Their children lived and died in Texas, with the exception of their youngest, my Great Grandmother Delfina Falcon. Delfina was born, married and had children in Texas, but she later moved to California, where her children followed later in their adult years and she died there. Her children and much of her grandchildren still live there today.
Albert Hessbrook was born 14 Oct 1875. He married Sarah Settlers on 27 Feb 1904 and they had at least 10 children also in the Hill Country of Texas. Albert died 24 Nov 1927 before the birth of his last child, Raymond. I do not know when or where Sarah Settlers Hessbrook was born or when she died. I tracked down all of this information via the internet and some is gleaned from some of the people listed below through email or snail mail.
Recently, George Hessbrook Sr of Michigan died on 02 Aug 2005. I hope to find out more of his clan.
