The Hoover Family
This report was given at the Hoover reunion which was held each year either at someone's home or at a designated place.The record goes as follows:
"A record of John Hoover's family translated from German.Mr. J. E. Hoover of Lincolnton County attended the Hoover reunion Friday at the home of Mr. C. W. Hoover, on the Statesville Amity Road, in Barringer Twp.Mr. Hoover is a great-grandson of Thomas Hoover from whom all Lincoln County Hoovers descended.When he decided to attend the reunion he gathered up some family records found at the old home of Thomas Hoover's grand daughter, Mrs. Monroe Seagle.
The record of Thomas Hoover's family, written by himself in German, was translated by Mr. J. H. Dingelhoef of Statesville.The record is so interesting that the "Landmark" gives it this way.
"The register of the children, with surnames and age, of H. Thomas Huber and his wife.
Born in the year of Christ, 1775, the 31st day of January, afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock, my daughter Barbara was born, in waterman (Waterman is a sign of the Zodiac).
In the year of Christ 1776, 28 of October, between 3 and 4 o'clock, my son Solomon was born, in the sign of the face.
In the year of Christ 1780, 31st of January, my daughter Elizabeth was born in the sign of the crabfish.
In the year of Christ, 1784, the 15th day of January, my twin children were born, the name of the son, John Philip Huber, and the daughter named Eva, in the sign of the balance.
In the year of Christ, 1787, on the 4th of March, my daughter Magdalene was born.(No sign for Magdalene.)
Mr. Hoover (or Huber as the German has it) must have decided that the eight childrencompleted the family for at this point in the record he set down the following touching prayer for his children:
"The God of Peace sanctify these children with His blessing and let them grow up in wisdom and grace to God and to all mankind; and strengthen and keep them eternally happy through Jesus Christ, their Lord and Saviour."
That prayer of dedication of the children is a lesson to all parents.Following the prayer is a record of two additional births.Ten children was the standard family in the old days - as follows:
In the year 1789, 4th January, a son was born named Thomas Huber.
In the year 1791, the 19th of January, Jacob Huber was born.
Of the ten children, it is remarkable that seven were born in January."
Always on the first Sunday in May, the Hoover family have their reunion at the American Legion Hut with a big dinner and a belief meeting in Troutman, NC, with all the descendants of the Hoover or Huber (which is the German spelling) family.
The above taken from a story printed in the "Statesville Record and Landmark."

When the writer concludes that ten children were born, only eight have been listed.Although the writer says that seven of the ten children were born in January, only six named were born in January.DJJ]

Note: There was another Henry Hoover in Lincoln County who died in 1824 and left a will naming a wife - Mary Eliza - and five children.Some researchers list this Henry Hoover as the son of H. Thomas Hoover.However, the 1833 will of H. Thomas Hoover names son Henry as an heir, so son Henry is not the same Henry who died in 1824.Also, Henry is still alive and included in a complaint that the heirs of Thomas Huver - namely, Solomon, Daniel, Henry, Philip, Thomas, Daniel Seagle and wife Sarah, Jacob Brem and wife Eve, George Sides and wife Polley, and Barbara Shuford - brought against their brother Jacob Hoover and wife Elizabeth to force sale of land that they inherited.
I don't know at this time who the Henry who died in 1824 was; I wonder whether he may have been a brother of H. Thomas Hoover.
"As to the causes which brought the early settlers to this section of the South, these were the same as those which sent them to other parts of the world.In some cases the cuse was incidental, as in the above example.But on the part of those who came directly from the ancestral homeland, there was much dissastisfaction with the treatment received at the hands of intolerant rulers.This hardship was felt by Palatinate German and Swiss alike.The latter are also represented here by sush family names as, Bauman (Bowman), Behm (Beam), Huber (Hoover), Hoffstetter, Muller (Miller), Schneider (Taylor), Schenck, and Yoder.Some were influenced in their coming by Wanderlust, a trait of character possessed by the German people in all their history.But no doubt the primary motive for many was the desire to acquire, to accumulate wealth, and to improve their conditions in general."[Rev. L. L. Lohr, The Germans in North Carolina West of the Catawba, Lincolnton, NC, printed in THE PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN, vol. XII, no. 4, April 1911]

Notes for Miriah Barbara Warlick: Died "In the 70th year of her age." In 1770, Barbara Warlick received from her father Daniel Warlick a deed for 200 acres of land in Lincoln County, NC (Tryon/Lincoln Co., NC Deed Book 1:128-129.Recorded 16 Dec 1769.)After receiving the land, Barbara married H. Thomas Hoover.After the death of their mother and father, the surviving heirs filed a Bill of Complaint (Lincoln County, NC Equity Court) against their brother Jacob Hoover and wife Elizabeth to force him to agree to a sale of the land rather than a division into eleven parcels.Subscribing to the complaint were Solomon Hoover, Daniel Hoover, Henry Hoover, Philip Hoover, Thomas Hoover, Daniel Seagle and wife Sarah (Hoover), Jacob Brem and wife Eve (Hoover), George Sides and wife Polley (Hoover), and Barbara Shuford.Note that Henry Hoover is still alive - further proof that the Henry Hoover who died in 1824 in Lincoln County was not the son of Thomas and Barbara Hoover. |

Notes for Barbara Hoover: Barbara Hoover was referred to as Barbary Goodman in the will of her sister Elizabeth Kistler nee Hoover.I doubt that Barbara Hoover married again to a Goodman, since the will of her brother Thomas B. Hoover in 1855 refers to her as Barbara Shuford.I have seen reference to another Barbara Hoover who married a Goodman - I believe that there was confusion over the Barbaras in the Eve Kistler will. |
