The Many Branches of the Hoover Family Tree: Sebastian Hoover 1723 - 1807 Carla Farrell

Publisher Marketing: The following is a collection of many years of research on the Sebastian Hoover line. It begins with the 1700s, and continues to the present day. We have made every effort to have accurate information. If you find errors or would like to have information added to the book please contact the Authors with the information provided in this collection. Sebastian Hoover (Johann Sebastian Huber) and Catherine Mueller/Miller (Catarina Elisabetha Mueller) married in Tulpenhocken Pennsylvania in 1744 (as recorded in Rev. John Caspar Stoever's Church Records). Sometime after that date (and by 1746 when their second son, Peter, was born in Pendleton Co., VA) they migrated to and raised their family on the South Fork of the Potomac in Virginia. Sebastian's birth year of 1723 is presumed from Rev. Stoever's records of Sebastian's age at the time of his marriage. Obtaining research evidence and DNA test results by Huber/Hoover family historians and participants, there have been breakthroughs in DNA projects proving Sebastian's descendants.
