They lived on Hoyl's Creek, a little northeast of old Harden Station, a part of the old Rhyne homestead. John Hovis fought in the Revolutionary War; he was a member of Capt. James Houston's Company, and fought in the battle of Ramsour's Mill. (See Hunter's Sketches, Page 196.)
His children:

Elizabeth Hovis... 251 ... b 1793.

Sarah Hovis....... 252 ... b 1795.

As a source, Rucker has been demonstrated over and over that she was guessing wildly at dates.
