You are too kind Dennis. I'm blushing. Even prouder to be the gggg grandson of Francis J. Dover now. I sure would like to find some proof of his Ranger affiliation!

Earl L. Dover below appears to be the son of Thomas L. (Lee T.) & Eva M. DOVER. The known census years are 1910-1930 for Pope County, Arkansas. Thomas & Eva were newly weds in 1910 when Thomas was 21 and Eva was 17. He claimed in 1910 that he was born in Texas and that both his parents were born in Arkansas. I cannot find any hint of Thomas or Lee as an 11 year old in anybody's 1900 census for Texas or Arkansas. Anyone have any ideas?

Thinking about US Army Rangers, Francis J. Dover born 1760 served in the Revolution and was probably considered an early Ranger because he was often assigned or volunteered to go on scouting parties (patrols). He re-enlisted and he was wounded twice during his service. Francis has at least one descendant in his family who was an Army Ranger . Randy Dover. Future Rangers go through basic training and advanced individual training like everyone in the Army. They next go to Airborne (Jump) School and then apply for Ranger School. Only about 25 percent of those who are accepted into Ranger School will actually graduate after nine-weeks. Rangers are not in great numbers in the US Army. There are three battalions of about 600 Rangers each, one stationed in the state of Washington and the other two in Georgia. These three battalions makeup the 75th Ranger Regiment talked about in the news. Not taking anything away from the latest Ranger fatality, but know there's 1,800 of them made of the same stuff. Pat Tillman would be the first to tell us all that. Randy D. Dover, bottom row, sixth from the right above the guideon. A Sergeant First Class E-7, Randy later served as an instructor at the Ranger School. http://www-benning.army.mil/rtb/ranger/photo/14-85.jpg

You can go to the National Obituary Archive link below, do a search for Dover (or any other surname) and get 50 or so Dover listings that go back to last year for the entire United States. These are minimum Social Security Administration basic records with some obituaries. I already see several who are known. Would be great to hear from any of the kin on Dover-L about who these families are. Obituary notices are a great resource as has been proven a number of times on Dover-L.
