• Notes

  Elisabeth Stauffer Hoover was no longer living by the time Martin Hoover moved to Ohio in 1837, according to the report of their grandson, Samuel Hoover. Elisabeth Stauffer may well have met Martin Hoover in Dauphin or Lebanon Counties, Pennsylvania, where her family lived after leaving Warwick Township, Lancaster County. But it is not clear whether Martin and Elisabeth moved to either Frank County, Pennsylvania (where some of her brothers lived at Stoufferstown, near Chambersburg), or near Ringgold in Washington County, Maryland, where her brother John Stouffer became a bishop of the Mennonite Church and owner of the Stouffer tract where the Stouffers Mennonite congregation was established in the late 1700s. Elisabeth's niece, Anna Stauffer, who definitely lived in Washington County, Maryland, married Martin Hoover's brother, Daniel. There Daniel and Anna (Stouffer) ran a mill. One of Elisabeth's nephews, Abraham Stouffer, also moved to Markham Township in Canada, where he, along with this wife Elizabeth Risser (Reesor) established the village of Stouffville. .
