If any of you decide to test your female line or mtDNA once your results come in you can post them here http://www.kerchner.com/cgi-kerchner/mtdna.cgi the results can be interesting. I would recommend reading the book "The Seven Daughters of Eve" by Brian Sykes - it is very easy to understand and will help you to interpret your results. Also if you order the DNA Print test the results can be posted here http://www.kerchner.com/cgi-kerchner/dnaprint.cgi Just thought I would pass it on. Patricia

After looking at your results again, I would definitely recommend the upgrade to 25 markers at least. You are a 8/12 match with the Francis C. Dover group and it is possible that after taking the 25 marker test you could be 21/25 if no more muataions occur. If that happens there is a possibility that your families were connected quite some time in the distant past. A lot of speculation but maybe worth looking into.

One more thing this is what is said about a 21/25 match on the FTDNA site Not Related - "21/25 is too far off to be considered related. Unlikely but vaguely possible that the rule for ONLY Possible related applies. It is important to determine what set of result most typifies 'most' members of the group you are 'close' to matching. You may be 21/25 with an individual, but 23/25 with the center (most common) of the group, and your potential relatedness to him is through the center of the group. " Didn't want to misinform.

Hi Tony, So far with your results you do not have a match with the Dover group. In order to see if you have other matches with other people outside of the group you need to go to the right hand side of your results page and click on update contact information. Then click off the little box that states only include results from your DNA group. Once that is clicked off you will see if you have any other matches. You could upgrade to 25 markers if you wanted but unless you are trying to discover a relationship between you and another person at this point I don't think the 37 marker test is necessary. You could decide this after you see if your results match anyone else's in the Family Tree DNA databank. If you know of other Dover's there in your wonderful country you could also encourage them to get involved. I'm sure the Dover's in the states would be very pleased to find a link in England!!

More coincidences maybe? They are tough. A couple I've watched for years had become near fact, but these DNA tests in some cases are going in some different directions. Thomas J. Dover married Miriam S. E. Burnett, July 23, 1850 in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. The only adult Dover family living in Tallapoosa County at the time was Lawson & Mary Dover. That census was enumerated October 28, 1850, three months after the marriage. Lawson was born 1799/1800 SC and is connected with a CROSS family. Lawson also shows up in a Habersham County, Georgia deed in 1826. I have always thought that Thomas J. Dover should be Lawson's son. He was born 1824/25 AL/GA. One of the DNA test results for one of Thomas J. Dover's descendants, Larry Dover, came out the other day too. This is our Dover-L list manager, Patricia Manson's Dover family, who Larry matches perfectly with all those who have perfect matches with Francis J. Dover. There is one known living male descendant of Lawson Dover that Sharon S. and I have contacted. He will take the DNA test, but probably not until late next spring. Besides Larry's results, those results will be amazing if the two match. Elijah Benson Dover's descendant's tests came out the other day too. EB is Sharon S's connection. No surprise there, he matches perfectly with Francis J. Dover. A coincidence that Elijah Benson was living next door to the widow of Wilson Dover in 1880 Arkansas. Wilson is the son of Lawson and Mary Dover and he shows up in the 1850 Tallapoosa Co., AL census. It is this descendant who will be taking the DNA test next year. There's more to go with this if they are connected because Wilson was in Lafayette County, Mississippi in 1860 and was living about five miles from his sister Jane Ann Dover married to Daniel Levi Volentine Green. Just to confuse this a little more about coincidences that have no answer yet, Lawson Dover's property in Habersham was very close to the Rabun County border and a lot closer to the property owned by Bailey Dover the elder than he was to Francis, Johnson or Anderson Dover near Deep Creek. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Jackson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2003 9:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dover] DOVER and GREEN Robert, I have to say I agree wholeheartedly.

I have heard another angle on the Francis J. Dover/ brother controversy. There is speculation that Joshua Dover, born on the Haw River in about 1753, is a brother to Francis J. Dover, and John Dover, (Haw River) is their father. Any feedback?

My only comment is it seems extremely unlikely (understatement?) that Bailey DOVER is NOT related, in some manner, to the other DOVER'S in the same locale; especially a next door neighbor named DOVER, i.e. Sherrod DOVER.

There's a couple of things here, one of which is the results of one of the DNA tests yesterday. You're are welcome to challenge, ask for clarifications or just offer your comments about some of the possibilities here. Bailey Dover appears in Sketches. It says he was a judge and a man of means. No known children. Sketches also says that he is not related to Sherrod Dover living next door to him in one census. Sherrod was the son of Frederick and Jane Dover from Lumpkin County and all the other Dover's in the index are connected with Sherrod and Frederick. Bailey (the elder) came to Rabun County, Georgia by 1830 from Buncombe County, North Carolina. He appears in the 1820 Buncombe census next door to a John Dover who could be his father. Bailey was born about 1791 SC. The 1830 census for Buncombe County shows four Dover's living side by side, Frederick (married to Margaret), Jeptha, Elijah and John Dover. Not far away is a John Dover (born before 1770) who could be their father and the father of Bailey Dover who went to Rabun County. Frederick Dover is missing in the 1840 census for Buncombe County, but appears to be the same Frederick living next door to Bailey Dover in Rabun County as well as a "Rial" Dover. Frederick & Margaret Dover of Buncombe County appear to have been in Rabun County in 1840 and then back in Buncombe County in 1850 before going to Gilmer County, Georgia by 1860. Jeptha Dover from 1830 Buncombe, from Marjorie's research, challenged the probate administration of Bailey Dover's widow Ellender after her death. Jeptha was also living in the same home with widow Margaret Dover in 1880 Gilmer County. One of Frederick & Margaret's sons was Dillingham Dover who was living next door in Gilmer County with his family. From that family came a descendant who took the DNA tests that came out yesterday. He's Jason G. Dover who is the father of Phillis on our list. Jason matches perfectly on the 12 markers with the family of Francis J. Dover which is the most amazing thing I have seen in all the years I've been digging. I have always suspected that my proven John Dover born 1793 was the John Dover in the 1820 (John Dover, Jr.) and 1830 Buncombe census. I'm not as sure about that now because I now match up perfectly with Eric Dover a descendant of Francis Marion Dover b about 1799 SC. The question here is what is the relationship between Francis Marion Dover and my proven John Dover b abt 1793??? Brothers, cousins??? I suspect my John's father was the elder John Dover in 1820 and 1830 Buncombe County. I also suspect that Francis Marion's father was Hezekiah Dover. I also match 99.9% with the descendants of Francis J. Dover. I have the feeling that maybe Francis J. Dover and his proven brother Hezekiah do have a brother after all that we never knew about. I've always thought about that and I've always come up with a John Dover as a possibility. It's not that straight forward yet but it's sure a lot narrower than it was before yesterdays results. Jason's results prove that at least one of those four 1830 Buncombe Dover's is a direct connection with Francis J. Dover. Buncombe was not another planet afterall. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Barnes [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2003 5:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dover] DOVER and GREEN The book, 'Sketches of Rabun County History', contains an all name index which includes several DOVER'S and GREEN'S.

Hi I know there is a site out there that tell you what on the the top lines of the census for each of the census year. Does anyone have it. I seemed to of lost it. Thanks Patricia

Hi I found this cemetery link http://www.cemeterysurveysinc.com/ It has a few Dovers on it. It also shows the Head Stones of J A Dover, Jason A. Dover and wife Sallie, that died at 108 buried at Mossy Creek United Methodist Church Cemetery, Cleveland, White Co., GA thought maybe someone out there might be interested:) Patricia

Did you feel the earth shift on it's axis a little while ago? The latest four DNA results are out. This is totally amazing. http://www.dovertree.com/pages/5/index.htm Buncombe County, North Carolina is no longer an island in the Dover family and miracles of miracles ... I have a perfect match with Eric Dover. I think some of us are pretty close to having a cousin across the pond too. Hope he will consider taking the 25 marker test. Hope those whose results just came out will post their comments. Anthony, who are your ancestors?

I found Floyd Dover in 1920, still in Union County, indexed as Floyd Dovet. Instead of searching for all Dover members (which I had already tried), I searched for a person with no last name but with Floyd as the first name, living in Union County, Georgia. I got several hits but quickly realized that Floyd Dovet was the one. Floyd is listed as Floyd D. Dover, age 52, his wife is listed as Genett, age 44. Their children at home are: James W., age 25 Fred, age 20 or 22 (hard to read) Joseph, 19 Moodie, 17 Ada 14, Jessie 12 Grady 5 Wilburn (Wilbur) 4 The twins apparently died and two other sons were born after the last census. I found them by dumb luck in 1930. I searched for first names of all children I knew. When I searched for Wilburn, I got a Wilburn Nix. I decided to take a look at him and found Floyd listed as what looks like Floyd Pover(?), but the index apparently says Pricer; I never would have guessed that one. I also found Adolphus on the same page--only way you can tell is that his wife's name is Streetie (Duckworth). Only the census taker knows what name he wrote for Adolphus Dover's name. Here's the reference for those with Ancestry subscriptions. http://content.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6224&iid=GAT626_389-0812 Floyd is listed as 63, Nettie is listed as "Mettie" age 54. Joseph is "Joe" age 29, Jessie is 21, Grady is 16, and Willburn is 14. James W., Fred, Moodie and Ada are no longer at home. I found Fred and Ada in 1930 in Weld County, Colorado (Ault District, near Collinsville). Fred is listed as 31, and Ada is listed as 24. They have been married for 5 years and have two children, Kermit 4 and 4 mos and Roscoe, 2 years 6 months. Both children were born in Georgia, so they had recently moved to Colorado. For those with ancestry subscriptions: http://content.ancestry.com/iexec?htx=View&r=an&dbid=6224&iid=COT626_252-0321

In 1900, Adam F.(Floyd) and his wife Nettie E. (Janette Elizabeth) were living in the Choestoe District of Union County. They had the following children: Thomas, born January 1891 James, November 1893 Frederic, February 1895 Frank, October 1897 Edward, June 1898 Next door was his mother Satira with her son Adolphus. In 1910, Adam (listed as Floyd Dover) was living in the same area. His wife's name was given as Nettie. The children were listed as follows: Thomas, age 19 James, age 15 (should be older) Fred, age 11 (should be older) Frank - not listed, assume deceased Edward - not listed, assume deceased Joseph, age 9 (later known as Joe) Moodie, age 6 (later known as Mood) Ader (Ada), age 4 Jesse, age 2 Osco and Rosco, 2 sons 4 months old. It looks like Fred's age changed between these two censuses, possibly due to the loss of two sons born between him and 1900. I'm still trying to locate 1920 and 1930 census records for this family but no luck so far. I do know that Mood died in 1991 at the age of 88.
