Sarah "Sally" Mowry (or Mowery) Hoover Goodman  - Mother of Nancy Hoover Clountz, wife of Marion Clountz, Grandmother of Henry Eugene Clountz,  great grandmother of William Clountz.

Nancy Hoover Clountz came to Texas in 1877 where they first lived in the Oak Grove community between Denison and Pottsboro, and later moved NW of Pottsboro.  She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church. She died at her home near Pottsboro at 8:30 am.  Burial was a Oak Grove cemetery, George Shields, funeral director, officiating.




Sarah Ann Sally Mowry, 1830 in Virginia - abt. 1924
Sarah Sally Mowery Hoover Goodman is known as the "Stump Woman," of Georgetown Cometary.  All she had for a grave marker until 2013 was a Bois d'Arc fence post as a gravestone. It was in the NE corner of the Georgetown Cemetery, next to the three young children of Alex and Doll Moser.

She married (1) Thomas Nicholas Hoover, February 29, 1848 in Pendleton, Virginia, son of John Hoover and Mary E.  He was born abt. 1824 in Virginia and died after 1860 in Pendleton Co., Virginia. She married (2) James Goodman abt. 1866 in Pendleton, Virginia?.  He was born 1840 in Virginia.

Notes for Sarah Ann Sally Mowry:
I found the 1850 census for Thomas and Sarah Hoover in Barbour, Virginia,  ages 26 and 21, with children Anthony and John (John died in 1856 of Scarlett fever).  
In the 1860 census in Pendleton, Virginia - Thomas and Sally Hoover, ages 36 & 30, with children Anthony, Nancy age 8, Susannah age 5, Rebecca F. age 4 & Geo. K, age 2 (Who both may have also died later since they are not seen again).  The Nancy here would be the right age - born in 1852.  After 1860 Thomas Hoover is not heard from again that I can find, he may have died too, reading between the lines.  There are other Thomas Hoovers, but not the right age, wife or children.   I think he died between 1860 and 1870 and Sally remarried.  
In 1870, with the Hoovers we see James Goodman, age 30, working on a farm & married to Sally who is about 10 years older than him in Pendleton with children, Elizabeth (with James as father), Susannah Matilda and Laban Hoover. 
In 1880 in Pendleton, living around Sally are Hoovers and Mowerys as their neighbors, again in 1880 Pendleton - there is James Goodman, laborer, and Sally Goodman, married, ages 40 and 50, with Tilda and Laban Hoover listed as step-daughter and son, as well as James' children, Alitha Elizabeth, age 11 and Isabella, age 9, listed as daughters.
By 1900 Sally Goodman is listed in the census as living in Pottsboro, Texas with the Clountzs.  So James must have died between 1880 and 1900; her children were all grown and Sally came to live with her daughter Nancy.  That seems like the most likely scenario given the evidence.
