Hi Jane. You have the makings of a mystery here. In the 1850 census for Ohio county
there are no adult Hoovers listed. However in Rising Sun there is a family headed by
William Berkshire, 42, blacksmith, born in Ky. Included were Nancy Berkshire, 29, Ohio, -
John Berkshire, 18, blacksmith, Ky, - Mary J Berkshire, 12, Ind, - Theresa Berkshire, 9,
Ind, - James Hoover, 8, Ind, - George Hoover, 7, Ind, - Robert Hoover, 5, Ind, - Sally
Berkshire, 7/12, Ind, and Agness Ryan, 20, Ky. Unfortunely no family relationships are
shown. One can only surmise that something happened to the parents of the Hoover
children. Prior censuses would only have the name of the head of household and none are
listed in the 1840 census for Ohio county. Have no other info. Good luck. Don
