Hobe (family)
Hobe (also: ''von Hobe von Gelting'', ''Baron von Hobe-Gelting'', ''Hobe Freiherr von Gelting'' or ''Monforts von Hobe'') is the name of an old German noble family from Mecklenburg, which also became influential in Denmark. Branches of the family are still in existence today. History 19th century scholars assumed that the Hobe family came to Mecklenburg from Pomerania, but before that came from the Lower Rhine. It was there that the knight ''Hermannus dictus Hůbe scabinus in Willich'' appears in a record in 1272. In 1283 a knight named ''Hobe'' is mentioned as a witness for Kolbatz Abbey, one ''Hobo'' in 1284 in the town of Greifswald, ''Reimbertus Hobe'' is a witness for a deed of the monastery of Verchen in 1287, and his possible brother the knight ''Johannes Hobe'' was a witness for the town of Demmin 1292. The son of the latter, Johannes Hobe, owned half of Cavelsdorf in 1324–1325 in the Principality of Rügen. His descendants were still in possession of the fief of Beestl ...

Jaega
The Jaega (also Jega, Xega, Jaece, Geiga) were Native Americans living in a chiefdom of the same name, which included the coastal parts of present-day Martin County and northern Palm Beach County, Florida at the time of initial European contact, and until the 18th century. The area occupied by the Jaega corresponds to the East Okeechobee Area, an archaeological culture that is part of, or closely related to, the Belle Glade culture. The name Jobé, or Jové , has been identified as a synonym of Jaega, a sub-group of the Jaega, or a town of the Jaega. History The East Okeechobee Area has received relatively little attention from archaeologists, and little is known of the origins of the Jaega. The earliest mention of the Jaega came from Hernando de Escalante Fontaneda, who was held captive by indigenous peoples in Florida for 17 years until 1665 or 1666. He relates that the Jaega, along with the Ais and the obscure Guacata, salvaged precious metals and other goods from ships tha ...

Hobe Ferris
Albert Sayles "Hobe" Ferris (December 7, 1877 – March 18, 1938) was an English born major league second baseman during the 1900s. He holds the record for the lowest on-base percentage of any player in Major League Baseball history with over 5000 plate appearances, recording an OBP of just .265. Despite this, his career slugging percentage is higher than the league average of the period. Biography Although he grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and was long thought to have been born there, census records indicate that he was born somewhere in England and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1879. He was a shortstop in the minor leagues from 1898 to 1900, after which he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. He chose to jump to the newly formed American League instead, and signed with the Boston Americans. As the team had already signed a shortstop in Freddy Parent, Ferris moved to second base. He made his major league debut on April 26, 1901. He committed 61 ...

Tamsui District
Tamsui District (Hokkien POJ: ''Tām-chúi''; Hokkien Tâi-lô: ''Tām-tsuí''; Mandarin Pinyin: ''Dànshuǐ'') is a seaside district in New Taipei, Taiwan. It is named after the Tamsui River; the name means "fresh water". The town is popular as a site for viewing the sun setting into the Taiwan Strait. Though modest in size (population 184,192), it has a large role in Taiwanese culture. Name Historical Originally settled by the Ketagalan aborigines, the location was called ''Hoba'', meaning "stream's mouth". ''Hoba'' was loaned into Taiwanese Hokkien as ''Hobe''. Historical works in English have referred to the place as "Hobe", "Hobé", or "Hobe Village". The Spanish arrived in the 17th century and called this place ''Casidor'' and the Tamsui River ''Kimalon''. Dutch records have used the placenames ''Tamsuy'' and ''Tampsui'' to refer to this area but have also referred to another " Lower Tamsuy" in the south of the island. In his 1903 book ''The Island of Formosa'', form ...
