The son of a Revolutionary soldier, George Hoenshell and Anna Maria Koder, he was reared to habits of sturdy honesty and self-reliance, and early gave up carding to engage in the more remunerative occupation of farming.
In the fall of 1854 he turned his face toward the West, and with his wife, his son, Henry, and his wife and two children, his son, Daniel and his wife and one child, and eight other children, started overland by ox teams, and after a journey of one month arrived at Holdermans Grove, Kendall Co., IL.
In 1857 George Hohenshell came to Grundy County, where he resided until 1861, and in that year moved to La Salle County, buying a farm near Streator, on which he spent the remainder of his life. After his death the mother removed to Missouri and there she passed away some years later.
They were the parents of eleven children. Source: History of Grundy County, Illinois. Chicago: Munsell Publishing, 1914. Page 830 Burial: Ancona Cemetery Livingston Co., IL
