Jenni--

Forgive me if I've asked you before, but I have both Kern and Hoover
ancestors--Henry Hoover (1751-1809) who married Margaret Kern (1751-
1813) --both born in Bucks Co. PA (just north of Philly). Henry was the son
of Jacob Hoover (Huber) and wife Magdelena Brechtbihl.

Do either of these seem to link with either of you Kerns or Hoovers of
roughly same time period?

Would be happy to share what little more info and speculation that I have.

Thanks for your time and consideration,
Doug Linton
