• Notes

  (Research):I am looking for information on the ancestors for Nancy L. Hoover. I don't have any birth dates but do have death dates. Nancy L. m. John Gipson King. She died in 1924. They had the following children: Hiram d.April 15, 1920; Bettie d. January 24, 1906; Lou d. November 13, 1939; Ida d. August 22, 1956; Laura d. May 16, 1959; Carrie d. January 5, 1961; Almedia m. Ross; John Granville d. February 27, 1959; Estelle; Joe Henry d. May 4, 1953; Martha Leona; and Nancy Ardelia b. October 3, 1871, d. December 13, 1942, m. Jessie O. Hugghins February 19, 1888. Nancy L. and John G. lived in and around Rusk, Cherokee County, Texas. Any help is appreciated and will share the rest of the info that I have. Check Cherokee County Historical Society book published +/- 15 years ago. Her parents were James Porter Hoover and Elizabeth Renshaw Hoover. They were from Rutherford County Tenn. moving to Texas +/- 1854. Elizabeth Renshaw Hoover, and others are buried at Lynches Chapel Cemetery, west of Alto. John Wesley was a son of James Porter and Elizabeth Renshaw Hoover. He had brothers: William, and James Granville who was my great grandfather. They had about four sisters. If you check the 1850 Census for Rutherford County, Tenn. or the 1860 census for Cherokee County, Tx. it should list names. James Porter died during the Civil War. He was a member of the Texas 18th Infantry, and died during January, 1863. Elizabeth Matilda lived near Alto, Cherokee County until her death. She is buried at Lynches Chapel Cemetery, west of Alto. James Granville and his wife, as well as my grandparrents and parents are buried at this cemetary. My father remembered Uncle Wesley coming to visit during the period of around 1915-1920. He said that was the only time he remembered seeing him, but Wesley was a US Marshall in the Oklahoma teritory Our particular group of Hoovers came to Texas during the 1850's. At least one of Mathias and Nancy Warren's children, Joel came ahead of the main group. The remainder of the family arrived in Texas in 1854. They settled Northeast of Rusk, County seat of Cherokee County at a place called Lowe's Chapel. Mathias and Nancy died on the same day, in 1861 and are buried at Lowes Chapel. We do not know where James Porter is buried. Family tradition indicates highest probability at or near Little Rock. During the 1920's Granville and my grandfather Miller Hoover went up that way to attempt to find a grave. They had no luck.
