I am doing my Clearfield County, PA, Lawhead tree and was trying to find the decendents of Wilson Hoover and Elnora Lawhead and discovered something one of you may find interesting. Three of their children were William A., Walter, Ruri (sp- a son). 1900 Census for Breitenbush, Marion County, Oregon William Hoover June 1847 age 52, born in PA, lumberman Almira Hoover Nov 1848, his wife, age 57, born in PA Walter Hoover Nov 1860, brother age 40, born in PA, lumberman Nellie Hoover Feb 1863, wife age 37, born in PA next house Ruri.. Hoover Nov 1859, age 40, born in PA, lumberman Martha Hoover Sept 1867, his wife, age 32, born in PA Theron Hoover Nov 1897, son, age 2, born in OR Johnny McCracken, Apr 1836, father-in-law, age 64 born in PA, laborer Sam P. McCracken, Mar 1864, bro-in-law, age 36 born in PA, carpenter Velma Hoover Nov 1891, daughter, age 8 born in PA Freda Hoover Jun 1893, daughter, age 6 born in PA Looks like they went together to Oregon sometime after 1893 & before 1897, cause Theron was born in 1897. I was excited cause all I had to go on was a little note I picked up somewhere which said William Hoover had died in Detroit, Oregon. (Thought I had the wrong state for a minute but Rootsweb locator said it was Marion County in Oregon) Claire
