Message Board Post:
I looked at the 1860 census and see that they are in Jackson Twp, post office is Mars Hill
which was a post office at New Lisbon (north of Union City at 800 East and 500 North) from
1855-1864. So I looked through what records I have on New Lisbon Church (which is still
active, you might concider writing the church to see if you can get more information) I
find in a headstone reading (done in the 1980s I believe)
Vera Devoe Snyder 1921-1955
Robert D. Devoe 1893-1974
Laura I. Devoe (Robert's wife) 1889-1931
In a list of lot owners of the Old part of the current cemetery a Devoe, R. C. owns lot
340. I have a map that can show where that is. I don't know if Devoe is suppose to
of been Devor or if there was a change or maybe not even part of your Devor line at all.
I found no Hoopers there at all.
I found at the Union City Cemetery I found..
DeVore, no first name, died Sept 1892, wife of Moses, sec H, east of creek, lot 792, no
head stone.
Hooper, Frances E. 1906-14Dec1907, sec SA, east of creek lot 10, has a stone
Hooper, Harry Allen 27Dec1877 5Sept1964, sec SA, eoc, lot 10, has a stone
Hooper, Kathryn 28May1875 21Oct1956, sec SA, eoc, lot 10, has a stone.
I do though, have some pictures on-line of Devor at Pleasant Hill Cemetery. go to
http://new.photos.yahoo.com/sharplongancestors/albums there are two albums as I can only
put so many photos in each album. Devor that I can see are a Soldier, Devor picture
DSCF0226, John ? Devore DSCF0227, ?Devore DSCF0228 and 9 ,Nathan Hooper
DSCF0230&1&2, D.J.Devore soldier DSCR 0233, Nancy Devor DSCF0296, Thomas Devore
DSCF0297, Benjamin Devor 0298, Margaret Devor 0299 (these were all in the first album, I
didn't see any in the second album, but look through them any way. I sent an e-mail
to a friend who use to attend this church, for address of the church and a contact of
someone who could be of more help. I will let you know when I do. I also looked through
my George Hoover Cemetery pictures (also On-line) but didn't find anyone there either.
Another possible cemetery is called the old Brick, I haven't been there yet, also New
Pittsburg Cemetery is in that area. You check out more !

*Also, I noticed that in the 1860 census that Thomas and Nancy Devore are only 3
households away from David and Elizabeth. Where they Elizabeth's parents? Children
listed with David and Elizabeth are May (or Mary) age 2, and not named 8 month old girl.
and on the next page of that census I see many of the Devor names I mentioned about in the
Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
