Hoover Families in Derry Townshp, Dauphin County, PA

Hans Jörg and Anna Maria (Hoos) Huber, Swiss German immigrants, arrived in what is now Derry Township in 1738. They settled on what is now Bullfrog Valley Road, just south of Hershey, Pennsylvania (7). Here they established a cemetery, the Huber / Hoover Farm Cemetery, that was later moved to the nearby Spring Creek German Baptist Cemetery (4). Some members of this family joined the Hershey Reformed Mennonite congregation (8) on Bachmanville Road. Other descendants of this Hoover family of Derry Townshp, apparently joined both the German Baptist and the River Brethren (Children of Zion / Brinserites) throughout the Big Swatara region in the early 1800s.
