Biography

Stocker was from Ho­ni­ton, De­von, Eng­land.

A number of hymns at­trib­ut­ed to Stock­er ap­peared in the Gos­pel Ma­ga­zine in 1776 and 1777.

In 1861, Da­ni­el Sedg­wick col­lect­ed and re­print­ed these in Hymns and Spir­it­ual Songs. John Ju­li­an thought Sedg­wick had in­suf­fi­cient evi­dence to at­trib­ute all these to Stock­er.

The list is shown be­low.
