Mary Ann Barger married Benjamin Balsar Hoover, Sr. May 1, 1822 in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. They lived on a farm in Hardin County, Kentucky. Mary Ann and Benjamin had four children: John, Daniel, Benjamin Balsar, Jr. and Mary Jane. After Benjamin's death in February 1829 she returned to Breckinridge County, Kentucky where her parents, John B. Barger, Jr. and Christiana Franklin were living.
She married William Pernier Mix June 21, 1838 in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. They had three children, Sara Jane, Christine Amelia and James Pernier, all born in Kentucky. The family moved to Lee County, Iowa some time after February 1842 where William Pernier Mix died May 21, 1846.
After his death, Mary Ann moved with her children and their families to Taylor County, Iowa in 1855, where they were early pioneers, settling in Jackson Township, southeast of Bedford, near the Iowa/Missouri line. Her sons, Daniel and Benjamin, were substantial land owners and stock raisers. Their land was known as the "Hoover Settlement." There is still an area known as the Hoover timber in Jackson Township.
In 1876 Mary Ann and her two unmarried daughters, Sara and Christine, took the transcontinental railroad to Sacramento, California to join her son, James Pernier Mix, who was at that time living in Santa Barbara, California with his family. The railroad had not yet reached Santa Barbara so Mary Ann and her daughters took a river boat from Sacramento to San Francisco and then a side wheel ship down the coast to Santa Barbara. In San Francisco, her daughter Amelia (as she was generally called), first saw water drawn from pipes rather than a well.
Mary Ann and her daughters lived for a time with her son and his family. Later, they apparently had a small house of their own in an area known as Mission Valley behind the Santa Barbara Mission where she died in 1889.
