I have a Jacob Huber who died in 1743 in Lancaster County on a list of early
Mennonite immigrants, along with what is believed to be his brother named
Hans Ulrich Huber (1/94 Mennonite Family History). Jacob was born about
1698 and Hans about 1703. Most of the Huber's I'm familiar with emigrated
in the 1800's from Bavaria and were Roman Catholic.

I think Bill is right about the Mennonites. It was the Moravians who were
in North Carolina very early.

According to my Mennonite history books, all the Mennonites before the
American Revolution immigrated to Pennsylvania. I'm not aware of any
Mennonite migrations to North Carolina in colonial times. Any movement to
North Carolina would have been after they arrived in PA, and there was an
early Mennonite settlement in Page County VA in 1758, but that is in
Northern VA, and near Maryland, were there also were Mennonites settlers.

Subject: [BRE] Andrew Hoover, 1722

Andrew Hoover, (b. 23 Jan 1722 in Ellerstadt, Germany; d. in 1794 in
Randolph County, North Carolina) was likely the first Huber (or
Hubere) to adopt the surname Hoover--according to my findings. Also,
he may have been born a Lutheran--but joined the Friends some time
after his marriage to Catherine Fautz. IN my records he is referred
to as Andreas Huber. He and Catherine had 13 children--although some
may not have survived early childhood.

I would be interested in learning if anyone has more definitive
religious information on Andrew/Andreas. Andrew is not a direct
descendant, but the nephew of my ggggrandfather. I am having great
difficulty sorting out their religious traditions--which seemed to
change as they moved west. I believe my Hoovers were Mennonites,
some of whom became Brethren in Indiana. Any help will be appreciated.

And, thanks to all of you for your excellent work, and the help you
have offered over the past year.
