Chris, I just checked my records for the names you mentioned and found that I have info on some of the family. I show that Andrew Hoover married Margaret Catherine (Pfouts) Fouts. The only child I have listed for them is Andrew Hoover II, b. Sept. 21, 1752, Pipe Creek, Frederick Co., MD; d. Dec. 29, 1834, Richmond, Wayne Co., IN. Andrew Hoover II married Elizabeth Waymire in 1776, daughter of John Waymire and Voltine Lough. Elizabeth was born July 12, 1753 at sea and died Apr. 4, 1834 in Richmond, Wayne Co., IN. The list of children I have for them follows: Mary Hoover, b. Mar. 3, 1777 Elizabeth Hoover, b. Dec. 25, 1778 David Hoover, b. Apr. 16, 1781 Frederick Hoover, b. Sept. 24, 1783 Rebecca Hoover, b. 1790 Andrew Hoover III, b. June 26, 1793 Catherine Hoover, b. Apr. 1, 1796 Sarah Hoover, b. July 15, 1798 My husband has Waymire and Fouts ancestors and I'm interested in learning more about them. I have quite a bit on some, a little on others, and will be glad to share what I have. Mary Hart

Those who have church listings, please check to see if you have these names: Christian Shearer, Jr and Hannah (Hoover)Shearer. Also looking for Fouts, Gannon, and Sheets listings for 1775-1795. His father {Christian Shearer, Sr.; mother, Sara; brother John; brother Robert also a Gracie Shearer are listed as original members in 1790 at Three Forks Baptist in Wilkes County.} Christian Jr and Hannah Hoover Shearer (are not) in that listing. They might have belonged to a Quaker congregation, Presbyterian, Lutheran, or Evangelical because of her family heritage (German/Quaker) or it could be just another Baptist. Positive proof is wanted for Hannah Hoover's parents, Andrew Hoover and Margaret Pfautz (Fouts). The Shearers lived along Abbott's creek in Davidson/Rowan county. The Hoovers lived in Randolph County on the Uwharrie. After they moved to Wilkes/Ashe, it is believed they lived in the same vicinity with Fouts and Sheets. Catherine Fouts who married John Leonard Fouts possibly was a daughter of old Christian and Sara Shearer and she lived near them also; Mary Shearer, believed to be a daughter of old Christian and Sara Shearer married Andrew Sheets. Gannons intermarried with the Fouts family. There are Gannon and Sheet creeks on the border between Davidson and Randolph. In other words these people lived close to each other in the early 1700s and moved together to new areas. These people likely went to the same church because they were interrelated. Thanks to those who take time to check this for me, I appreciate the time and effort as I have been searching diligently for Christian, Jr. and Hannah (Hoover) Shearer for many months. Chris Bramstedt.

Thanks Ben for your suggestion. I have searched Caswell Co. pretty well but not really Person Co. Just an oversight on my part. I knew it was Orange Co first but just went right to Caswell.

Looking for this Mary Thompson with unk parents but thought to be of Scottish birth. I suspect he was in Caswell already before 1777 when it was part of Orange Co. Can you give me any leads on this couple or where to find leads! Thanks. Barb 1. Mary Thompson, born Bet. 1734 to 1736 in Scotland; died Mar 09, 1786 in Caswell Co., NC. She married (1) David Porter Abt. 1754. He was born Abt. 1734 in Ireland, and died Jan 15, 1795 in Caswell Co., NC. Notes for David Porter: The earliest records we have in 2000 place him in Caswell County, NC in 1777. Caswell County, NC was formed May 9, 1777, by ratification of an act of the General Assembly of NC, from the northern portion of Orange County. It was named for Richard Caswell, Governor of NC from 1776 to 1780, and also from 1784 to 1787.

Hello Nancy, I am glad that you posted the information about Thomas and Ann Finney Thompson, as I am just into researching them and their ties to the Eno area. These folks were all intertwined with the Tinnin and Mebane families of old Orange County, NC; in the part which is now Alamance.

Ann and her sister, Sarah, wife of Lawrence, were daughters of Captain Samuel and Sarah Finney. Another daughter, Rebecca Finney married James Hart, and they also settled on land on the Eno. Lawrence and Sarah Finney Thompson's daughter, Sibella,became the wife of Col. Hugh Tinnin, who served during the American Revolution. He was a son of John Tinnin and Jane Mebane of Chester County, PA and Orange County, NC. Jane Mebane was a sister of Alexander Mebane, Sr. and John Tinnin was a brother of Alexander Mebane's wife, Mary (Jane?) Tinnin.

You make a good point, but there are hundreds of pages on the Orange County GenWeb site and I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to change all of them. I guess I have counted on visitors noting that the content of the pages has only to do with North Carolina and seeing the "Orange County, NC GenWeb Home" link posted on all the pages. Thank goodness, it seems to be working out okay....I've received no reports of lost family researchers roaming the pages looking for CA or NJ yet. :-) However, you're probably right, the next time I do an overhaul of the site, I'll definitely keep it in mind.
