Hello: Does anyone have the Holiday 2003 issue of New England Ancestors mentioned below with the article by Gary Boyd Roberts on the Stover-Boone-Eisenhower connection? I can't find my copy and the Clayton Genealogical Library does not have a copy. I want to see what Mr Roberts says is wrong with the id of Jacob Stover. Thanks. Steven C.
