Dear Doug,
While checking for evidence of Nicholas KERN yesterday, I came across a
connection for your family which may help you. First, you probably already
know that most of the HOOVER families in the area were actually from Germany
and changed their name from HUBER or some variation.
I found the following family but have not yet been able to verify sources:
William KERN Sr. b. 1686-1756
+ Saloma
Child: William KERN B: 1723-1785
+ Catherine HOOVER
Child: Jacob KERN b 1760-1814
+ Lavinia SLEASMAN

William Sr & Saloma are almost certainly William KERN b 1725 in Europe and son
of Nicholas KERN & Maria Margaretha
and his wife Maria Saloma Baer b. 1804 in Whitehall Twp, Northampton Co
(formerly Bucks Co) PA
