Candy--This may or may not be much help in your search for the parents of John V. Hoon. I notice in the 1910 census of Magnolia, Harrison Iowa that John V. Hoon's father was born in PA. The HOON family started in Butler Co PA in early 1800's.My gt gt grandfather's sister was Mary Ellen Shanor HOON. She was married to Samuel Hoon. They moved from Butler Co PA to Lawrence Co PA. and they had 12 children. (no TV back then, I guess :) Those children were born between 1830-1860. It may be a longshot but perhaps that Samuel Hoon had a brother who named a son John V.?? So, since Trumbull Co OH is right across the border from Lawrence Co PA--Mercer Co PA--or Beaver Co PA I'd focus my search in those areas. Good Luck!!
