Your theory certainly sounds likely. Thanks to George Young, here are the
original land owners in that area:

Hanover Cem is in section 23. For an accurate overview of the area, you
will want to check the landowners in T14R8 and T13R7 and T13R8. I put the
names in a grid system so they could be printed and spliced together for a
huge map. I haven't introduced them formerly because I'm still working on
the southern half of the county.

Subject: Re: [INSHELBY] Shelby Co history
Phyllis I was interested in this part of his piece:
Hanover was another Morristown rival. It was located southwest of Morristown
near
Blue River. Hanover was nicknamed the “Yankee Settlement.”
The first post office in Shelby County was located in Hanover. By 1834,
the
post office had moved to Morristown.
Hanover had many stores and one of the best grist mills in Shelby County.
The first steam railroad to cross the county serviced the village. But
when
the Knightstown railroad stopped operations, Hanover declined. Today,
a
cemetery is the only reminder of the “Yankee Settlement.
,I wonder if this is the part of the county that the Kitchells and Youngs
and some other New Jersey people settled? Could that be why it was called
the "Yankee Settlement"? Maybe as Hanover declined they moved into
Freeport? Is this possible? Wonder what that cemetery is called, and if
anyone has copied it?
