Individual Details
Julia Ann Hoover
(25 Jan 1852 - 25 Apr 1925)
Julia Ann Hoover was the daughter of Joseph "Squire Joe" Hoover, Jr. and Mary "Polly" Nance. The Hoovers were from Ellerstadt/Oberkulm, Switzerland. Julia's ancestor Andreas Hoover immigrated to America in 1738. The Nances were possibly French, Polly's parents being Marshall Nance and Elizabeth Ivey.
Julia married John Richardson Plummer on 14 June, 1870, in Tabernacle township, Randolph County, N.C. They had twelve children and lived on a farm on present-day Hannersville Road in Davidson County.
Their children were Corinna Jane, Mary Eldora, Minnie E., Julia Roanna, Kearney Philemon, Maggie Lee, John Charles, Alson Lindsay, Joseph Roba, Sammie, Frank Stammie, and Robert Clifford.
Julia was widowed in 1901 when her husband was killed in a train wreck. Her youngest child was then 12 years old. We know by old deeds and estate records that Julia once owned a horse named "Lady Locket". Her side-saddle has been handed down to her descendents.
