• Notes

  A pioneer and founder of the Hovis family in the part of North Carolina that today is Gaston County. He came from Germany to England to Pennsylvania, finally arriving in North Carolina around 1764, where he was issued a grant for 200 acres of land in Mecklenburg County on 16 Nov 1764. His land was located on the west side of the South Fork of the Catawba River in the point or angle formed by said river and Big and Little Creeks, opposite to the land of pioneer Boston Best. The land also adjoined that of Peiter Hoyle, his father-in-law, and was of considerable extent, reaching a good distance up both river and creek. He conveyed a part of this large farm to his son, Frederick Hovis, who lived there many years, until he sold it and moved to Lincoln County, Tennessee.
