p. 300 1203 ELI HOVIS (250) b. 1815, m. 1839, Nancy Stroup, and later, Lavina Hoffman, dau. of Jacob Hoffman III.
His children:

Catherine Hovis... 4623 ... b 1840, d y.

Mary Ann Hovis.... 4624 ... b 1845.

Jacob Hovis....... 4625 ... b 1847.

Margaret Hovis.... 4626 ... b 1849.

Nancy Hovis....... 4627 ... b 1851.

Louisa Hovis...... 4628 ... b 1853.

Noah Hovis........ 4629 ... b 1855.

John Hovis........ 4630 ... b 1857.

Rosa Hovis........ 4631 ... b 1859.

As a source, Rucker has demonstrated over and over that she was guessing wildly at dates. Even so, it's hard to believe any author could assert dates that were so wrong.
