https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/94351252/hendrick_hover

It is said that Hendrik was called Henry as the English speaking elements in the community became more dominant. Henry was an officer in the Sussex county militia during the Revolutionary War. From Snell's history of Sussex and Warren, Page 69, "Henry Hover, Lieutenant, Third Battalion, captain ditto, captain Second regiment."

The Sussex county committee os Safety held sessions at the courthouse in Newton on the 10th and 11th of August 1775: General William Maxwell was chairman and Thomas Anderson was clerk. Three Delegates were present from the township of Sandyston, namely Samuel Westbrook, Abraham Brokaw, and Henry Hover. See Benjamin J. Edsall's Centennial Address; quoted in Snell page 51. Emanaul Hover, Henry's younger brother, also attended the sessions of the County Committee of Safety mentioned above as a delegate with others from Walpack Township

On April 25, 1780 captain Hover with 31 men served in the Minisink in the third Regiment under Colonel Rosecrans. The amount paid to these men for their services on this expedition was 44 pounds, 12s 11d. Then record does not show whether it is Henry or Emanual that rendered this service.

Henry Hover and Timothy Symmes as Chose Freedholders represented Walpack township on the County Board during 1778; and Henry Hover and Isaac Van Campen were the Chosen Freedholders during 1779.
