He emigrated to PA 10/1765, on “Countess of Sussex” commanded by Captain Thomas Grey which sailed from Rotterdam to Philadelphia. Johan was a Reformed Church minister from Prussia (also known as the Rhineland), Germany. He left Germany after the religious persecutions of Protestants, but mainly because of the economy of the area. He was alone, no wife or children. It seems he only signed his name as Johan, or Joh.Theodor, not Johannes. Johan was married for only a short time in Germany. When he arrived in Philadelphia in 1765, he was then 35 years old. From there he went to Lebanon Co., PA, where he married Nancy Baker. He apparently went to Shaefferstown in Lebanon Co. where he was the First Schoolmaster in the Reformed Church. Moved to Hickory Twp., Mercer Co., Pennsylvania, bur. in Hickory Township., Mercer Co., Pennsylvania, at Pine Hollow Cemetery. Nancy bur. Clintonville, Venango Co., Pennsylvania, Methodist Cemetery. It is believed that the name was changed to Hovis in the first generation, although his first son by Nancy, George, retained the name Hofius. George was born 8 years after coming to Philadelphia. 8 ch.  (See Hovis Family Outline)
