John Hoover was married three times: 1) Sarah "Sallie" Richardson, 2) Lucinda Stamper, 3) Elizabeth Hubbard Johnson Gray.

We *know* that John Hoover is in this photograph on the right.   The question is - who are these other two people?

When I was given this photograph, I was told that the lady was Lucinda Stamper, but the man on the left was unknown.

After some further questions and some checking, I was then told that the lady was John's first wife, Sallie Richardson and the gentleman on the left was her second husband, Elijah Reese.  I was also told that Elijah and John were good friends.

It is known that Sallie was about 8 years older than Elijah.

Can anyone help positively identify these people?
