Undocumented information on Barbara’s birth and father is conflicting. Barbara is said to have been the daughter of George Hoover, born in 1767 in Hampshire County, Virginia or Maryland. The IGI lists Barbara Hoover, born 1758 in Maryland, also 1768 in Maryland. One researcher has a Barbara Hoover, born 1760 in Maryland, father Jacob Huber/Hoover (born 1730, Manheim Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, died December 10, 1800, Woodbury Township, Bedford, Pennsylvania), mother Anna Christina Guth (born May 1734, Lancaster, Pennsylvania). A clue to Barbara’s family is in the records of the Hebron Lutheran Church, Hampshire County, Virginia. Barbara’s daughter Lea’s baptism in 1789 was witnessed by an unmarried woman of the Huber family. Another child, unnamed in the record, born 1797 and died 1798, was sponsored by an unmarried Annamaria Huber. This latter child born in 1797, may either be the Anna Maria below or someone confused this record and decided the sponsor was the child. The birth of Rachel in 1791 was witnessed by Anna Pennebecker, that of Nancy in 1800 by the unmarried Catharina Auratzler (sic?). So far a search for Hoover/Hubers in Hampshire County has not produced any likely results. The only Hoover/Huber found in Hampshire County in 1784-1790 was a Jacob Hoover/Huber, who was too young to be a father of Barbara, but could have been a brother or other relative. After James’ death in 1827, Barbara married George Spaid, a widower who died in 1833. At that time Barbara went to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Peter and Rachel Jordan in Hiramsburg, Ohio. However, Barbara was not found with Peter and Rachel Jordan in the 1850 Ohio census. She died at the age of 86 and was buried beside her first husband, James Albin.
