Surnames: hoosier hooser Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.wisconsin.counties.grant/4089/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I read in archived posts that there was an Ambrose Hoosier (hooser) in Platteville in the 1840ish time range, and that he could be a relative of Jacob S. Hoosier. I'm thinking that Jacob S. Hoosier's father: Jacob F. Hoosier lived in the area of St. Louis or Alton, IL as early as 1810's to the 1850's. I'm wondering if there is any info for him there.
