I will be posting our Dutch line here soon, also. Louisa Marie Racer (wife of Isaac Hoover, our great-great grandfather) was of the family surname DeCoursey (our line changed their name to Racer, the Anglisized version of DeCoursey, during the French/Indian Wars).
Louisa Marie's line goes back to the original colony in New York, then known as New Amsterdam. This family is quite historical, and I will blog much on this line.
This line was in the original colony to settle in New Amsterdam. Jesse DeForest, credited for founding this colony, is our 11th great-grandfather.
Some of the surnames in this line are:
de Course/Corssen/Corzen, etc.
Racer
Van Campen/Kampen
Croy/Cray
Van Oblinis
de Forest/DeForest
Van Garden/Gordon
Christiaens
Vroom
Hendrickse
Verbrugge
Low
Koevert
Simons
and more...coming soon...

Your Hoovers and Van Gorders are related to my husband Ross Marvin Jr. His great grandmother was Margaret E Hover, daughter of Henry Hover and Hannah Van Gorder.
Do you have any photos of them or their children that you could share with us?
Thanks, Sharon Sue Harris Marvin
