What source documents does anyone have for Andrew Hoover and his wife
showing that they were Brethren? From "The Genealogy of the Herbert Hoover
Family" by Hulda Hoover McLean she says:
"On April 6, 1772 he (Andreas/Andrew Huber/Hoover) was adult-baptized into
the Separate Baptists, n evangelical English-language fundamental sect
founded by the rev Shubal Stearn at Sandy Creek, now Randolph Co., NC in 1754."
Hulda also says:
"Margaret (Andrew's wife) was a Quaker (her source is John Scott
Davenport). There is no evidence that Andrew was. John, son of Andrew and Margaret,
was a Quaker and founded a strong Quaker family"
Also, his son Andrew was a Quaker.
Thanks,

I have a John Foutz, son of Johan David Fouts, marrying (c1793) Barbara
Schwartz - John was born in Lancaster Co PA, and died 1835 in Davidson
Co NC. All the children (as far as I could trace) remained in Davidson
Co. I have no information on Barbara Schwartz
