• Photos		1851 Census, John and Barbara Hoover This Census entry includes John and Barbara (Heise) Hoover's daughter, Elizabeth, who married deacon John S. Wideman. Elizabeth was already married at the time, but appears to have been at home when the census was taken.
  		Marriage of John and Elizabeth (Hoover) Wideman Jacob Sherk, John's uncle, appears as the witness at this marriage. Peter Doner, also a married man, and an uncle (through marriage) for Elizabeth, appears as the other witness in the marriage. Hence John and Barbara (Heise) Hoover do seem to be the parents of Elizabeth Hoover, as believed by Norman and Ezra Wideman. According to the statement at the end of this page, the Mennonite bishop Jacob Grove married the two couples listed here. But you may notice the initials "J Do" appearing next to Elizabeth Hoover's name. This may also indicate that the Tunker Bishop, John Doner, was also at the wedding and involved with the marriage celebration.
