  • Notes 
    • From Jose Holmes' History of the Hoover Family written in 1924

      David Hoover, son of Jacob Sr. settled on the centre parts of Lots 5 & 6, 1st Concession, Rainham. His Homestead located where his son Benjamin after lived and passed down to Edwin his son.

      Another case of hospitality handed down. A traveller asked for lodging of David Hoover. They had stewed chicken for supper and the stranger put to rest in the spare bed. During the night he was heard to shout, "Mr. Hoover, a little more blanket." Going to his relief it was found he had got on top of the extra feather tick and had only the bed spread over him. At breakfast he wanted more chackins, so the leftovers were warmed up for him. He thanked the good wife and went on his way.
