After considerable research, I can not find any Henry J. Dockstader (1811-1852) on Ancestry, Family Search, or in "The Dockstader Family" by DDR. This Henry most certainly would have been included in "The Dockstader Family" by DDR.
There is a Headstone for Henry Jacob Dockstader (1791-1832) in Evergreen Cemetery, Fonda, NY. Henry's (1791-1832) father, Jacob M. Dockstader, is buried here in Hickory Hill.
Even though the year of death appears to be 1852, I think the 5 is really a 3. I have seen several cases where old Headstones in this area are inscribed with 3's that look like 5's. When subtracting the age of 41-7-1 from Aug. 6, 1932, the result is Jan. 5, 1791, one month off the birth date for Henry of Feb. 5, 1791 published in DDR Vol. 1 pg. 255. It would be quite a coincidence to have two Henry J. Dockstader's passing on Aug. 6. The fact that Henry's father, Jacob, is buried here further supports my assertion that Henry is actually buried in Hickory Hill, with the stone in Evergreen being a Memorial stone. I will be researching the records at Evergreen to see if there is any information on the burial of Henry there.
