A biosketch of son, David L. Hoover, reported [4]:
David L. Hoover belongs to that class of American citizens who manifest a decided aptitude for business enterprise, and who rise in a few years from a condition of poverty and obscurity to one of prominence, and the possession of considerable wealth. During the forty years that he has resided in Elkhart county, Ind., he has shown himself to be public-spirited, enterprising and honorable, and has gathered about him many warm friends, as the result of his correct mode of living. He is a son of David and Esther (Lehman) Hoover, the former of whom was born in Lancaster county, Penn., in 1781, a son of Samuel Hoover, who was also a native of the Keystone State, and was of Swiss descent. John [sic, Samuel?] Hoover was a farmer, reared a large family, and he and his wife were called from this life in Pennsylvania. David was their youngest son, and grew up on his father's farm, and in the State of his birth he united his fortunes with those of Miss Esther Lehman, and with her moved to Mahoning county, Ohio, about 1820, where he tilled the soil until his death which occurred at the age of fifty-two years. His wife died in 1851, having been born in Franklin county, Penn., a daughter of Daniel and Frances Lehman, both of whom died in Franklin county, Penn. She was born in 1787, one of twelve children, and herself became the mother of twelve children: Mary, who married Jacob Wisler, and died many years ago; Magdaline, who married Jacob Yoder, and is also dead; Rebecca, deceased; Susannah, deceased; Elizabeth, deceased; Catherine, who married Jacob Stauffer, and died in Ohio; Samuel (see sketch); Daniel, who died in this county, leaving a family of children; Anna, who is the wife of Christian C.; Esther, who is the wife of John Mall of Columbiana county, Ohio; Francis who is living in Harrison township, this county, and David L., who is the youngest of the family. The parents of these children were life-long members of the Mennonite Church, and the father was a practical and well-to-do farmer of Republican proclivities.
