Excrpts from the research of ??, whose website is www.acreetree.net
ANDREW HOOVER, SR. (1723-1783), originally named 'Andreas Huber', was an ancestor as well of President Herbert Hoover. He was born to Swiss-migrant parents in Ellerstadt, a village in the Rhenish Palatinate (now part of Germany), from which several of our ancestors originated. Leaving his parents behind, Andrew emigrated to Philadelphia in 1738 at the age of fifteen, residing first in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, with two brothers who had preceded him. Six years later he married Anna Margaret Pfautz, who had arrived in Pennsylvania about 1726 with her parents.
The couple soon moved to Carroll Co., Maryland, where their thirteen children were born. About 1774 (or perhaps as early as 1763) they treked through the wilderness to Randolph Co., North Carolina, where they finally settled next to the Uwharrie River. Andrew built and operated a gristmill there and eventually owned several hundred acres of land. During the Revolutionary War, he contributed $500 to the cause - a large sum of money at the time.
Andrew and Margaret died about fifteen years apart, in 1783 and 1798 respectively. Originally Lutherans who had become Baptists, the family was attracted to the Quaker religion. Andrew is buried in a Quaker cemetery. Margaret, a few years before her death, joined that faith, as did their son, David, our ancestor, who led the fabled Hoover migration to Ohio at the turn of the century. (See vignette below on Nancy Mast, who was both his sister-in-law and mother-in-law).

Sciurce:
"Genealoqy of the HERBERT HOOVER FAMILY" pub 1967
by Hulda Hoover McClean. (Copy found at main library, Indep.. Mo).
EDITH LYLE NOTE: No doubt this family emigrated to America with the Eller family and others from "Ellerstadt".
"ANDREAS HUBER (afterwards known as ANDREW HOOVER)
b. 23 Jan 1723 at Ellerstadt, district Dunkheim, in The Palatinate, the 9th & youngest child of GREGOR JONAS HUBER a well-to-do landowner & vintner.
"An entry in the old Luthern church book at Ellerstadt, gives the record of his baptism: "Anno 1723. Den 29 Jan. 1st, Jonas Huber under Seiner frau ANNA MARIA ein sohn gebohren und den 7ten Feb. Andreas Getauft.
"The house of his birth, number 17 Fleissgasse, was demolished in 1900, but the barn and vintner's building were left.
"When he was 15 years old (1738) he emigrated to America. where two of his brothers preceded him:
Johannes. on the (ship) 'Mortonhouse', 8-24-1728, and
Christian Johannes on the (ship) 'Dragon', 9-30-1732.
"Andreas arrived on the (ship) 'Two Sisters' at Philadelphia 9-9-1738. He stayed with his brothers and friends in the rich farmland of Lancaster Co., Penna until he was 22 years old. then he married
MARGARET PFAUTZ (aka FOUTS). who came to America with her parents on the 'William & Sarah' arriving 9-8-1727. (Edith Lyle Notes She probably was closely related to LEONARD FOUTS, associated with PETER ELLER (son of Geo Michael Eller) as mentioned in the book "Geo. Michael Eller”)
~In 1746, Andreas & Margaret moved to Carrol Co.. Maryland. In 1750. he patented fifty acres called 'Mirey Spring' along 'Little Pipe Creek' at the head of Chesapeake Bay near Uniontown. (Edith Lyle note: Neighbor (& perhaps kinsman) of George Michael Eller lived on "Little Pipe Creek in "Frederick Co., Maryland").
~Here the Hoover children were born. except (probably the youngest. During these years Andreas changed his name to ANDREW HOOVER.
~About 1772. Andrew took his family by oxcart through the wilderness to the Uwharrie River in Randolph Co., North Carolina. In 1779 he bought 200 ac on the east side of the river. Much land was available because the new state of North Carolina had taken it away from the British and the Tories. Andrew and sons acquired many acres of the best land in the state. They cut an empire out of the wilderness, established a dynasty, and prospered.

~This was wild country. DANIEL BOONE was a neighbor on the ~Yadkin River, of which the Uwharrie was a tributary.
"Many of the traditions of the Uwharrie are Hoover traditions. The story goes that Andrew Hoover was not afraid of man, beast, or devil! That he climbed to the top of Eagle Nest Rock when others were afraid to; that he swam the raging Uwharrie to save the lives of his horses; that while others in the settlement were home in fear, he set out to face the headless horseman on the Uwharrie trails, and brave the other ghostly figures that moved like lost souls down the valley.
"Andrew built a grist mill at the Fork of the Uwharrie, and this was an important granary of the Revolution. The family also gave $500 to the Revolutionary cause - a large sum of money in those days. But there is no record of these Hoovers as soldiers in the Revolution.
~A small business center grew up at the Forks around the Hoover mill where the big wheels operated a mill to hew loqs into slabs when not turning to grind corn. This mill remained in the Hoover family for more than 150 years.
"In 1792, Andrew left the mill for his son JACOB HOOVER to run, and he retired to a farm where Cedar Run joins the larger river. In 1794, he made his will. appointing his wife and eldest son, Jonas, as executors. Shortly afterwards. he died and was buried near Back Creek on the Uwharrie. His widow died 3 years later in 1797."

Andreas Huber (Andrew Hoover) came to the United States aboard the ship Friendship, as told in a rich history of this family, from Switzerland. His progeny helped settle the American West, created a rich legacy of patriotism, founded the city of Richmond, Indiana, were active anti-slavery proponents of the "Underground Railroad," and provide much of the history contained within this collection of family history. |
