Most of these are descendants of William Dover and Alanthey Chambers who claim their indian blood from Alanthey's father, James or Jim Chambers. Claims were rejected; however, if ever I find a female descendant of James Chambers' mother (e.g. sister's descendants), I'll spring for the mtdna.

1886 - Siskiyou County, California Happy Camp In the Humboldt County Collection of the library of Humboldt State College, Arcata, California, is a small booklet titled The Hermit of Siskiyou. Written by L. W. Musick, it was published from the office of the Crescent City News in 1896. In it, on pages 79-80, the following story of interest was found: A Del Norte Record correspondent, writing from Happy Camp, Siskiyou County, California on January 2, 1886 published this story: "I do not remember to have seen any reference to the Wild Man which haunts this part of the country, so I shall allude to him briefly. Not a great while since, Mr. Jack Dover, one of our most trustworthy citizens, while hunting saw an object standing one hundred and fifty yard from him picking berries or tender shoots from the bushes. The thing was of gigantic size - about seven feet high - with a bulldog head, short ears and long hair; it was also furnished with a beard, and was free from hair on such parts of its body as is common among men. Its voice was shrill, or soprano, and very human, like that of a woman in great fear. Mr. Dover could not see its footprints as it walked on hard soil. He aimed his gun at the animal, or whatever it is, several times, but because it was so human would not shoot. The range of the curiosity is between Marble Mountain and the vicinity of Happy Camp. A number of people have seen it and all agree in their descriptions except some make it taller than others. It is apparently herbivorous and makes winter quarters in some of the caves of Marble Mountain." The book, The Hermit of Siskiyou records this encounter with the bigfoot-like creatures described in 'human' terms. Only two years later than the oldest Canadian newspaper account - that of the capture of "Jacko" on July 4, 1884. The only discrepancy between this account and the usual Bigfoot reports seems to be where it says the creature "was free from hair on such parts of its body as is common among men." Everything else agrees even the reluctance of the hunter to shoot it because the Sasquatch looked far too human to shoot and kill. Even though there are many reports equating this creature with human attributes, the ape theory evolved heavily in print in the 1990's. Story with grateful appreciation to C Jim McClarin. Also published by George Haas in the old Bigfoot Bulletin and later by John Green in Year of the Sasquatch.

I do not have the Blansit in my files you mentioned Dennis, BUT I do have a lot of Blansit and name variations on my Shrader side. They are all from either Jackson or DeKalb County, Alabama and originated in Va. pre 1800's. They have been a hard line for me to follow and I am afraid I have not focused on them a whole lot. My direct line would be Martha Patsy/Patricia Blansitt, daughter of Peter Blansitt I of Virginia. Martha's son with Daniel Shrader II, who was Henry Shrader would have a daughter America Tennessee Shrader who as you know married Henry Anderson Dover who was my great grandfather. Some additional Blancett information is available at the following site. http://members.tripod.com/Blansett/history/bnusa.html I am not sure if it will be of any use to you or not Dennis. Thought I would share it anyway though in case it was. If nothing else it is a very interesting letter written long ago.

This is an interesting ELLER family story with a marriage to a Bus/Gus Dover. Wonder if this could be Augustus S. Dover son of Greenberry & Mary Caroline Curtis Dover in northeast Georgia? http://www.eller.org/feb88/feb88p3.htm

Bailey got around outside Rabun County. It's probably safe to think he is Uncle Bailey after all at this point. Bailey owned a lot in Walker County, Georgia at or near the time of his death in 1864. I've always wondered how Bailey could own so much property being a farmer. No idea if he ever preached, but he was very active in his church. From Card Index at Georgia Department of Archives and History Dover, Bailey 2nd Lieutenant Cherokee County, April 12, 1835 He would have been about 44 years old at the time. He was also a circuit judge in Rabun. Fascinating couple with no children but certainly other adults and children in his pre-1840 censuses and an Isabella Dover age 18 in his 1850 census born in Virginia. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Jackson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 8:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dover] Bailey Dover - Coweta Co., GA Dennis, I found this while skimming the archives http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/coweta/deeds/granteel.txt ==== DOVER Mailing List ==== Dover resources at surname web http://www.surnameweb.org/registry/d/o/v/dover.shtml
