Part 2: Ulrich Hoover of York & Adams Counties, Pennsylvania

Kris Hocker on 7 Jan 2013

While I was researching Ulrich Hoover of York & Adams Counties, I decided to put together a timeline that included all the information I’d found for “Ulrich Huber” in York County & the surrounding area for the late 1700s. I wanted to see what I had, whether or not it made sense, and whether or not I could determine that it all applied to the same man.

    Ulrick Huber died in Adams Co. PA intestate, but seized and possessed of real property so his executors had to identify his widow and his other heirs. I have a photocopy of the list of heirs if you wish a copy.

      Richard, I would love to see any information you’d like to share. Most of my research here was based on your very informative postings to the Hoover-L mailing list, baptism records, probate records and Orphans’ Court records, but I’m always interested in more information.

      Are you familiar with another Ulrich Huber who was married to an Anna Maria (___) and may have removed from York County to Taneytown, Maryland? I’m trying to see if I can discover who Christian Hoover of Heidbelberg Township was referring to when he named his three brothers—Ulrich, Jacob and Henry—in his will. He left money to his nieces and nephews, but did not actually name any of them. My attempts to track down any record of payment from the estate have gone nowhere…

      Kris
