I have David & Amy's (Vestal) child, Henry (my line born 1822 in NC) going to Brown County, IL about 1854 range and I believe there were other family members that made the trip. I know Henry and Mary(Polly) Hoover had a son named Jesse in approx. 1854 at/before they moved. Could be they named it after one of Henry's brothers that moved with them to Illinois. Brown County, Illinois has good record keeping, and the town where information may be located is Mt. Sterling. My Hoover relatives migrated from Illinois to the Missouri River area (Yucatan, Portland, etc.). Thom Cameron's line was also this line via marriage, and he lives in the area of NC that the Hoover's migrated from, still. I also live in NC, but in Lincoln County, where yet others from this group moved to while the civil war was going on. GOOD LUCK - let me know if I can get you more information!
