Family 2 Sampson Violett, b. Abt 1754/1761, Loudon Co., VA d. Aft 7 Jun 1817, Pike County, OH (Age > 56 years) Marriage 14 Dec 1815 Johnstown, OH Notes - The marriage ceremony of Eve Hoover Philips to Sampson Violett was in Johnstown, Ohio and the two credible witnesses were Major Eli A. Pratt, a Revolutionary comrade of Sampson Violett and William Duke a nephew of Eve Hoover Philips. William Duke was the 3rd son of John Duke and Catherine Hoover Duke, a sister of Eve Hoover Philips, 10 years her senior, who was born in 1776. At the time of Eve’s marriage to Sampson Violett, she w as about 29 years old. Sampson, born in 1761 would be about 54 years of age. Where Sampson and Eve lived after their marriage is only tentatively suggested by a deed for a property to Sampson Violett at Galena, Ohio, Delaware County in 1817. This could have been Eve’s home when Richard Philips lived. At least in the search for any real assurance, the drive was made to Galena and a family name of Philips now live there on the place and is undoubtedly a descendent of a branch of the same family. There was still a story about "Sampson" building the "Chimney" which still stood at one end of the large room in 1941.

Notes - After Sampson Violett was released from being a prisoner during the War of 1812, while on a trip through Johnstown, Ohio, he met a young widow, Eve Hoover (Philips), daughter of Henry Hoover and Eve Henlein Hoover. Richard Philips, her husband, had been a school teacher and she had one daughter, an invalid, by her first marriage.
After her husband died, she lived with her son Justice, and joined his family when they moved to Lancaster Co., Nebraska. She died there on 8 Mar 1875.
