Migration of John McCover HOOVER and Mary RUMPH

1. John McCover HOOVER, died 31 Jan 1832,son of Joseph HUBER. He married abt 1770 Mary RUMPH, daughter of Peter RUMPH and Catherine KNORE. This may be his son John?(1747-1802).
Children of John McCover HOOVER and Mary RUMPH were as follows:

a. Joseph Samuel HOOVER, born abt 1770; died abt 1817. Three sons of John went to Mississippi; Joseph (Samuel), Christian and Charles Hoover. Land patent 22 Sep 1817, Pike County, Mississippi.

b. Christian HOOVER, born 1772 in South Carolina; died 1815 in Lawrence Co., Georgia. He married (1) [---] HOOK; (2) in 1808 in South Carolina Elizabeth ZEIGLER, born abt 1795 in Orangeburg District, South Carolina; died 26 Oct 1846 in Holmes County, Mississippi, daughter of J. ZEIGLER and C. [---]. Christian Hoover must have deceased in 1815 while living on Sweetwater Creek. Elizabeth ZEIGLER with her four younger Hoover children and her new husband (Brittian Smith) she moved to Holmes Co., MS after 1820.

c. Jerushia McCover HOOVER, born abt 1785 in Swansea, Lexington Co., South Carolina; died 7 Jan 1818 in Swansea, Lexington Co., South Carolina. She married in 1805 in Orangeburg County, South Carolina Elijah JEFFCOAT, born 11 Mar 1782 in Lexington, South Carolina; died 23 Sep 1857 in Pike County, Alabama; buried in Campground Meth., Portsburg, Crenshaw Co., Alabama, son of Samuel JEFFCOAT and Zelphir [---]. Jerushia McCover HOOVER, a Creek Indian from the Wind Clan. This couple migrated to Alabama ca. 1846. REF: "SC Indians Indian Traders and other ethnic connections beginning in 1670" by Theresa M. Hicks, 1998. Enumeration of Indians - a good example of this is the Hoover / Martin / Jeffcoat families of Lexington Co., SC. John Hoover (1750/60 - 1832) was enumerated as White. Elijah Jeffcoat was listed in 1800 as non-White. Jeffcoat's wife was John Hoover's daughter, Jerusha. The Martin family is sometimes listed as White and sometimes as non-White. John Hoover's second wife was the widow of John J. Martin. The issue is further complicated by the fact that some of the Hoover children also went by the name of Martin. Sometimes the status of the husband seems to change from White to non-White depending on the status of the wife. pg. 331.

d. Charles HOOVER, born 20 May 1788 in South Carolina; died 19 Feb 1849 in Lawrence Co., Georgia. He married (1) [---] MILLER, died 1819; (2) bef 1825 in Wilkinson County, Mississippi Margaret BROWN, born abt 1790; died 1833, daughter of Joseph BROWN and Sarah [---]. Ms. Miller.
