| Colonel John Van Hoose, Revolutionary War Soldier, Pioneer, Farmer, and the Grand-daddy of all the Van Hooses in Eastern Kentucky, was born April 5,1760 in Anson (now Montgomery) County, North Carolina. He married, in 1788, in Montgomery County, North Carolina, to Mary Bryan, daughter of William Bryan. About 1800 he moved to Washington County Virginia for a few years. Later moving to Cabell County, (now Wayne County) West Virginia. About 1810 he moved to Jennie's Creek in Floyd (Johnson) County Kentucky, at a place now called Hager Hill. Colonel Van Hoose was one of the trustees of the first seminary founded in the Big Sandy Valley, Prestonsburg Academy, established about 1 820. In recognition of his services to his country, his name, with others, is inscribed on a monument erected in the Court House yard at Paintsville, Kentucky, by the Daughters of the American Revolution of Johnson County. In his last years Colonel Van Hoose lived with his son, Valentine, near White House on the Sandy River. He died January 5, 1860 and is buried at the Van Hoose graveyard near White House, Kentucky.

| Col John Van Hoose headstone photo provided by- Lloyd & Julie Van Hoose, Julie tells me they had to climb a hill and cross a creek to find his grave. Now here's a question that many of you must have if you have ever looked through the micro film of the 1860 Johnson Co Federal Census and that question is this. If the death date for Col John Van Hoose is Jan. 5, 1860, then how does he show up in the 1860 Federal Census of Johnson Co, enumerated July 5, 1860 at the age of 95 living with his son Valentine Van Hoose? According to genealogy history books by Joyce Lindstrom & Charles Parsons John lived with his son Valentine Van Hoose until his last dying days.. |
