This would be the Martin Hoover who traces his roots back through Bedford county, Pennsylvania (Morrison's Cove) to Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. Martin Hoover died in Jefferson township, Montgomery county, Ohio and was the father of some eighteen children. I will not go into whether any of his children preceded him in death; that is all available on the Internet. > > Some of the people out there are arbitrarily assigning a middle name of Good for he and his brothers.

Last October I took the time to scan the contents of Martin's estate records while on vacation in the Dayton, Ohio area. I am now almost complete with the process. > > On one receipt, dated June 11, 1824, a Daniel Miller acknowledged his receipt of money from the estate executor, Aaron Miller. This receipt is witnessed by a Benjamin Miller. I leave it up to researchers to figure who the Millers were. My bit of wisdom is what Daniel Miller had to say. He stated, and it is clearly written on the receipt, "of the estate of Martin P Hoover Decd". > > So there is evidence that Martin Hoover did have a middle name. > > Wayne Webb > > ------------------------ > Search the Archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/BRETHREN > ------------------------ > Support Our Sponsoring Agency > The Fellowship Of Brethren Genealogists (FOBG) > For further information contact Ron McAdams mailto:McAdamsr@hotmail.com > ------------------------ > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BRETHREN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
