1730 Jacob Huber/Hoover, the Patriot, is born in Manheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
1749 Jacob Hoover marries Anna Christina Good in Somerset, Pennsylvania.
Historical records indicate there are a few Jacob Hoovers in eastern Pennsylvania during this time. Of course, there is Jacob's own father, and he died 1784. There is a possibility that any brothers Jacob may have had, they could have named of their sons after Jacob Sr. More research is needed on this point, but here are four instances where a Jacob Hoover appears in official documents from the area:
Jacob Hoover is listed in the Septennial Census 1779 as living in Martick Twp., Lancaster, PA
Jacob Hoover is listed in the Pennsylvania, Tax and Exoneration, 1768-1801
Jacob Hoover is listed in the 1790 Census as living in German, Fayette, PA.
Jacob Hoover is listed in the 1800 Census in Woodbury Twp., Bedford, PA.
Between 1810-1816 Martin Hoover, son of Jacob the Patriot, moves with several of his sons and their families, to Jefferson Twp., Montgomery County, Ohio.
