Bio: This guy is related to President Herbert Hoover. His parents were Herbert's Great Great Grandparents, so he's Herbert Hoover's Great Uncle. Born: May 1798 (Vol V, pg 744 West Branch MM)Father 6300561 JohnMother: 26169650 SarahExcerpt from "A Walk in Country Churchyard - Autumn 1880" by Luke Smith Mote"Thence moving eastward we come to a headstone with the name "Abram Hoover" on it, "died Feb 3d 1846 Agd 52 yrs 9 mos." He was the son of John and Sarah Hoover Sr. When he was young in years, his worthy mother joined our church and had him and others of his children taken in also. But this did not change their hearts, and to comply with her wishes and live a Christian life within its pale was too straight for some [of] them, and the too common use of intoxicants by the first settlers was taken up by their children, leading into brails and profanity, causing much [?] to their parents labor for the church and their final ejectment -- and a good many of a certain class ran far down the stream of intemperance and shortened their days. The foregoing named -- though not so far in this current -- undoubtedly foreclosed his life. He married two wives in his days and left several children."aged 52y 9m
