Person:Nancy Sutton (16)

Biography

"Nancy was the first wife of John Hoover and was the mother of his sons, Matthias Wesley Hoover, and Samuel Hoover. She apparently died sometime between Samuel's birth in 1803 and sometime before 1819, as John's third son, Charles L. Hoover, was born in Bedford County, Tennessee, in 1820, his mother's name being a mystery since the early Bedford County Marriage Records were destroyed and there was no record in the family. Since nearly all of the tombstones in this early-day cemetery are roughly-hewn field stones, with no inscriptions, we can only guess that Nancy is buried here but it's definitely safe to say that if she isn't, she was undoubtedly buried in a section of "Hoover's Gap". "
