RE:Former President HOOVER
Several years ago the writer talked with a Mr. Hoover of New Jersey who claimed to be the his- torian of the Hoover family. He said that the ancestors of the former President came over in the Palatine Immigration, of 1710 and settled in the Hudson Valley, then removed to Pennsylvania and later their descendants moved to Mary- land, many years later removing again to Iowa where Herbert Hoover was born. The writer has also heard it stated at historical gatherings that the ancestors of the former President were Pala- tines but can find no documentary evidence to prove the claim.
A recent survey of the biogra- phies of the former President add no light to his pioneer ancestors. Will Irwin in a book published in 1928 sums up these efforts when he wrote: "His first established ancestor was a certain, Andrew Hoover, one of three brothers who in 1740 or thereabout held farms in the uplands of Maryland." And another birgrapher, E. Lyons, adds "Andrew Hoover, a Mary- lander who moved his brood to North Carolina about a century before Herbert's birth seems to be his first authenticated forebear."
Other biographers list Hoover's ancestors as Swiss, Hugenots and Hollanders. The former President has always been reluctant to di- vulge any information about his pioneer ancestors and it may be that he has no definite informa- tion as who they were. The name "Haber" appears several times in the London Census of the Pala- Itines in 1709, And it is possible that in the angelization of the name "Haber" it became "Hoover" in English. The Governor Hunter Ration Lists between June 1710 to September 1714 contain the fol- lowing record: "Haber, Christian, head of a family, East Camp (Col- umbia County, N. Y." And the Rev. Joshua Kocherthal marriage records have the following entry: "1711, December 31st; Christian Haber, of Salzbery, Commune Homburg, Hess-Casel, and Ann Gertraud Werner, daughter of ) Michael Werner, of Rheinfels on the Rhine." This couple could be the parents of "Andrew Hoover" the authenticated forbear of Her- ibert Hoover. If any of the lange number of Enterprise and News genealogists and historians have any information about the pioneer ancestor of Herbert Clark Hoover, will they contact the undersigned ?

STOWITS
I have heard my grandfather Sitowits relate stories of his fath- er's and places such as Sprakers Basin, Palatine Bridge and Cana- joharie were mentioned frequently. I was told that my great great grandfather ,Dr. Jonathon Stowits came from Sprakens Basin, whe- ther he was born there or not I do not know. My great grand- father Josuah H. Stowits was born in Sprakers Basin and came to this section (Horseheads. Would appreciate any informa- tion anyone can give me on this branch of the Stowits family. Allen Stowits
