Dave, we need to pow-wow on this one. I have an ancillary entry for the David E. Hoover/Mary Mast and am unable to sort it out this morning. My comments earlier have been taken from the book titled "Memoir of David Hoover." This is available online at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~inwayne/references.htm Quoting directly from the book: Part I, written in 1854 by (himself) I was born on a small water-course, called Huwaree, a branch of the Yadkin river, in Randolph County, North Carolina, on the 14th day of April, 1781... (Punctuation and spelling are as itis.) If my information is correct, my grandfather, Andrew Hoover, left Germany when a boy; married Margaret Fouts, in Pnnsylvania; and settled on Pipe creek in Maryland. There my father was born; and from thence, now about one hundred years ago, he removed to North Carolina, then a new country. Rudolph Waymire, my grandfather on my mother's side, emigrated from Hanover Germany after he had several children. My father had a family of ten children, four sons and six daughters. On the 19th of september, 1802, we loaded our wagon, and wended our way toward that portion of what was then called the Northwest Territory which constitutes the present state of Ohio. After crossing the river, we pushed on to Stillwater, about twelve miles north of Dayton, in what is now the county of Montgomery My father then purchased two hundred acres of land, not far from Lebanon, Indiana Warren County, as a home. Thus time passed on until the spring of 1806... it was not until the last of may or the first of June that the first entries were made. John Smith then entered south of Main street, where Richmond now stands... (References to Society of Friends, and meeting minutes) I therefore married a girl named Catharine Yount, near the Great Miami; on the last day of March 1807. AND the book goes on to discuss his being a judge. Montgomery County, Ohio is in reality quite close to Wayne and Fayette Counties in Indiana. It appears that THIS david moved there in 1806. Now that I think about it, I have looked at this before and was confused. I still am. Perhaps I have missed something this morning, as I am busy with a project with a wife that wants it done--but the trail the book develops appears logical; even tough there could be a conflict with the Hoover/Mast marriage. Last summer, did you and I discuss this? I think we may have. If you have interest, contact me off line and we can continue this and finish other things we were doing a while ago. I am heading to Indiana next month for research, and perhaps can resolve this and any other issues outstanding. Come on to SLC and let's figure it out. I am interested in further commentary on this from anyone interested.

Ron, Slight correction. I went back to your source and it says Lebanon in Warren County. This is referring to Ohio, not Indiana. Many Quakers settled in Warren County near the large Miami Monthly Meeting.
