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.
