Nancy Hoover Clountz Family  "In the Hoover family line
of mine there has been confusion due to there being so many people with
the same name in one short period of time in the 1700s, namely - Sebastian
Hoover from Germany, born in 1723.
I have figured it out about the confusion about Sebastian Hoover, the one in our line is the one born in Germany in 1723, He had a LOT of children, he had a child named Sebastian in 1750 who died in 1780 and either Sebastian SR. had another son in 1780 and named him Sebastian (3) also, in honor of the son Sebastian Jr. who just died OR ELSE Sebastian Sr. adopted the late Sebastian Jr.'s son Sebastian who was born the same year Sebastian Jr. died - 1780. But there is a Sebastian the Third that is considered a son in Sebastian SR.?s family whichever way it is. They are in our direct line, the one in ours is Sebastian Hoover 1723's son Thomas Hoover born in abt. 1758, who had a son named John Hoover in 1798 who had a son Thomas Nicholas Hoover in 1824 and married Sarah "Sally" Mowery (or Mowry) and had a daughter named Nancy Hoover in 1852 who married Marion Clountz who fathered Henry Eugene Clountz who fathered Henry Sherman Clountz who was my father."
