Regarding DeWalt Pfautz and Hoover families. There has been a lot of confusion on the various 18th century Pfautz immigrants. The most recent and most complete research has been done by Dr. John Scott Davenport. His work which may be accessed thru LDS formed the basis for a book By Audrey Woodruff, dealing with the family of Jacob Pfautz and wife Magdalina. It was his daughter Anna Margareta who married Andreas Hoover and were the ancestors of Pres. Herbert Hoover. According to the Woodruff book DeWalt (Theobald) Pfautz joined the Jacob Pfautz family at Perkiomen in Montgomery Co, PA.. Apparently he was close in age to Jacob Pfautz' son Michael and they became lifelong friends. Their relationship has not been determined. Theobald, (DeWalt/David) followed the family to Rowan Co NC and Feb 17,1763 obtained a deed for 292 Acres on the Uwharrie River. Deed Book 5. Mary Cassel Case
