Thanks for the photos on the Hochstetler cabin! Fascinating.

 I have long found the Hochstetler story of interest because my
 Y-DNA links my own Hoover / Huber family directly to the ones of
 the Hochstetlers, every time.

 Apparently my male Huber ancestor sat on the bench behind the
 table side by side with your male Hochstetler ancestor some
 centuries ago. Has anyone else discovered that fact?

 My Y-DNA code is: R-M512 or else M198

 However the case, all of this is of passing interest. The real
 thing that really matters is whether we have our names written
 in the Lamb's book!

 All the best,

 Peter Hoover

Absolutely, Charlotte, we are related, but if you are a Huber at all, of any "plain background," you would have a really hard time NOT being related to me! I am a descendant of all three "plain" Hoover lines. You are talking, I think, of Heinrich and Maria (Wenger) Huber descendants, who joined the River Brethren. There is some connection but I am not quite sure how it goes, off hand. I was born in Canada but my roots are in York County, Pennsylvania, and there were many of us Hoovers south of Waynesboro near Ringgold. Several beautiful Hoover farms there. John Hoover there was my "great-great-ever so great-uncle" and two of his daughters married Stouffers and Weltys and gave them chunks of the old Hoover farm. Stouffers Mennonite and Welty's Church of the Brethren stand there, side by side. One of those Hoovers moved to Canton, Ohio, William Hoover, who's hired man invented the vacuum cleaner. What is even more intriguing to me is your Hykes name. What do you know about the Hykes in Hykes Road south of Greencastle just next to the State Line? I would love to share some "unusual information" about those Hykes. . . .
