I contacted the Eisenhower Presidential Library re: the eisenhower lineage, here is the reply: Dear Mr. Scism: Thank you for your message. The Eisenhower Library has no records of President Eisenhower's Stover ancestry. Gary Boyd Roberts, a professional genealogist associated with the New England Historic Genealogical Society in Boston, has attempted to trace the ancestry of all the presidents and is probably the world expert in the field. In an article in the Holiday 2003 issue of "New England Ancestors" Mr. Roberts claimed that the traditional line of descent, which you listed in your message, is not correct. Roberts claimed that Eisenhower was probably descended from a different Jacob Stover and had no connection to Daniel Boone. For further information you may wish to examine the article by Mr. Roberts, and the sources cited therein. Your local genealogical society can help you locate copies of this material.

Sarah Boone is my husband's Great-Grandmother and she married George Martin RAMSEY. Through the BOONE line we connect to the following President's. President James MADISON are 2C6R (2nd cousins 6 times removed) and President Theodore ROOSEVELT are 9C1R (9th Cousins 1 time Removed). We connect to both of these President's through the Catlett's. Sarah Boone was a cousin Daniel Boone (the explorer.) He was her 1C 4R (First Cousins 4 times Removed). I hope this helps. If anyone wants the connection please email me and I will be happy to provide it.

In 1998 a member of the BOONE list submitted the connection from Dwight David EISENHOWER b 1890 to the line of Jacob STOVER, Sr b abt 1688 who m Sarah BOONE. That same year I received the same information from another source. I have never attempted to document it and am not familiar with the Gary Boyd ROBERTS info so I am not able to say whether the information as presented to me is from his research or that of the direct descendants of Jacob STOVER, Sr. This is the information as presented to me: Jacob STOVER, Sr b abt 1688 m Sarah BOONE b 1691 (dau of George, 111 and Mary MAUGRIDGE) Abraham STOVER b 1729 m Sarah (maiden name unk) Daniel STOVER, Sr b 1750 sp unk Daniel STOVER, Jr b 1780 m Mary HANNAH b 1781 Simon P STOVER b 1822 m Elizabeth Ida LINK Ida Elizabeth STOVER b abt 1863 m David Jacob EISENHOWER David Jacob EISENHOSER and Ida Elizabeth STOVER are the parents of Dwight David EISENHOWER and several other children. Both lines submitted to me are children of the siblings of the President EISENHOWER and not of his direct line. In my private remarks to Jeff I made mention that I had another Jacob STOVER in my database but not link to that of the Jacob who married Sarah BOONE dau of George, 111. If that kinship does exist it has yet to be established and is most likely worth pursuing. Christian STOVER the ancestral line of Jeff does bare the name of Christian STOVER father of Jacob b abt 1688. However, that does not make the connection so.
