| Welcome to "Let's Confuse the Genealogist"
starring John Andrew Jackson Hoover and assorted others. Why do I say that?
See if you can follow along: 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? |
