Hoover--Thompson, a genealogical study
(Book)

Vol. 1 is second edition of May 1984 printing.

Both volumes include bibliographic references.

Ancestry of Marjorie Harland (Barker) Dietrich (b.1921), who married Bernard Joseph Dietrich in 1942 in East Detroit, Michigan, and later moved to California. Marjorie was a daughter of English immigrant John Mildmay Barker (1884-1982), a widower who married Thlema Elmina Hoover. John Mildmay Barker was a son of Harry Claud Barker (1857- 1935) and Florence Mary Harland of Lancaster County, England. Thelma Elmina Hoover was a daughter of Estella May Thompson and her first husband, David Arthur Hoover (1875-1967). David Arthur Hoover was probably a direct descendant of German immigrant Johannes Huber, who immigrated in 1728 via Philadelphia to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Estella May Thompson was a direct descendant of immigrant James Thompson (1635-1750), who immigrated from England to Ireland, married Jane Humbles, and in 1677 immigrated to New Jersey. Insofar as possible, the ancestral lineages of these Hoover, Thompson, Barker and Harland progenitors are traced in the United States as well as in England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland and elsewhere. In the United States, most ancestry lived in Michigan, Onio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and elsewhere. In the British Isles, some lineages are traced back to 1066 A.D. and earlier in Normandy, while the Huber line is traced back to about 1185 A.D. in Germany and Switzerland.

The family histories and genealogical data in each volume are chiefly arranged in alphabetical order by surname.

Vol. 1-2 include indexes (with Huber and Huver as variant spellings).

Includes Allen, Chamness, Dietrich, Grover, Hadley, Hinshaw, Mills, Pike, Pope, Ray, Reynolds, Stout, Whitfield and related families.
