- We believe John Hoover was dead by 1793 as there is a copy of a document referring to the Chattels of J H deceased in Christian Hoover's account book. He was certainly dead by 1807 when Jacob Huber made out his will as he refers to a daughter, an only child of John Hoover, deceased.
November 19, 1793 - From Christian Hoover's Account Book, page 36. We consider this to refer to John Hoover, son of Jacob and Barbara:
The Condition of this Present Vendue held this 19th day of November 1793 on Goods and Chattels of J. H. Deceased. Following viz The highest Bidder to be the Buyer for all goods Under ten shillings. Ready money is Expected.

John Hoover's 1792 bond due to Jacob Hoover in 1802 for two hundred pounds, document filed with Jacob Huber's Will. Money probably went to Dochstader. In 1800 when the lands are transferred Lot 24, Concession 3, Walpole goes to Christian Keller, the father in law of Abraham Hoover. There was a letter dated November 21, 1815, Manchester Township from Christian Keller to his daughterman and daughter. This letter was also filed with Jacob Hoover's Will, and on the back it says "John Hoover, Bond Due to Jacob Hoover." This would suggest that the reason Christian Keller got this land was due to the fact that he assumed John Hoover's bond.
