  1. Oliver Lewis Hoover was born 20 September 1892 in Hinton, Summers, West Virginia.
  2. Nellie Ruth Hoover was born 9 March 1895 in West Virginia.

Notes

Jacob's middle name comes from the West Virginia Birth List. But it is not entirely clear whether the name listed is "Hanford" or "Hereford".

As a railroad brakeman, Jacob had a harrowing experience that occurred on 4 October 1881, when he was 26 - a story he passed on to his descendants. On 6 March 2001, an article appeared in the Hinton News, Hinton, WV retelling that incident.

The Swope family is a significant pioneer family in West Virginia. You can read much more about this family here.
