    Notes:

    Andrew's name in the old country was Andreas Huber. He was from Swiss stock. His baptism and birth date is copied and available in the "Immigrant Ancestors of Miami Valley, OH, Quaker Families". (C-2251A) His father was a successful winemaker who had moved the family from Switzerland to Germany. His gr. and gr.gr. grandfather were Sheriff's in Switzerland. Andreas being the youngest of 15 children, emigrated to the Americas with a guardian when he was just 15 years of age in 1738 by way of Rotterdam. He was on the ship "Two Sisters" landing in Philadelphia on Sep 9, 1738. He originally settled in Lancaster Co., PA, but soon moved to what is now Carroll Co., MD to be with a brother. He was probably amongst the large Quaker movement that migrated from Maryland to NC between 1750 and 1760.

    He lived the rest of his life in NC on a branch of the Yadkin River called the Uwharrie. There was flooding in NC soon after arriving. This flooding repeated itself most summers and eventually drove many persons to move to Ohio and states further west. In this story handed down by his family, he swam the swollen river to to release his horse and mules tied onto the other side. He hid in the branches of a Persimmon tree until morning. His homestead became known as Hoover Hill. It became the site of a post office that was in service into the 1900's. Gold was also discovered on the property and it was the site of a profitable gold mine for many years.

    Almost all of his sons and succeeding generations lived within a five mile radius of Andrew's orginal homestead in North Carolina. The property remained in the family for over 150 years.

    He was in his later middle aged years when the Revolution broke out and a Quaker at the time. He contributed five hundred dollars to the cause and his grist mill helped supply the war efforts, for which his descendants may become daughters and sons of the American Revolution. Andreas and his wife are buried at the old Hoover Mast Burial Ground, currently located on the property of the Tabernacle Methodist Church. (C-2176, 2179b,c)
