Interesting group of surnames and given names. Zeph had at least one son born 1774-1790 (-16?). ANY hunches on who he was? He had more according to the '34 letter which says "they" went to Georgia. That suggests 1820-1840 ... so who are they? Think we've missed something. Jason = James, same one son age group. John with 5 sons under 16 .... does that make sense? No Elijah. Do I think Samuel was born in York .... yes. Do I think John Dover is John #1 .... no. The '34 letter mentions ALL these sons by given name. Both Francis and Hezekiah "should" have been in the 1790 census, but where are they?

Dear Bobby, Thanks for your answer. Now I'm even more confused. You've added another "Mary" married to a Shaddix. David W. Dover and Sarah Sparks had one daughter "Mary", b. abt 1837 for whom I have never found a record of marriage, and one daughter "Missouri", b. abt 1845, whom I have assumed married a "Parker" although I cannot find a record of marriage for her either. However, I based my assumption that she is David's & Sarah's daughter since on the 1910 Census of Clay Co., AL, Union Precinct # 15, ED 53, Sheet 3A, Missouri E. Parker is listed as follows: Dwelling/family 40: 1. Parker, Missouri E, Head, age 63 (1847), widow, # yrs present marr 40, Mother of 1 child, 0 living, b. AL, father b. GA, mother b. SC (this IS the reverse of what David & Sarah POB is on other census), farmer. 2. Parker, Maggie G, dau-in-law, age 42, widow, 16 yrs present marriage, mother 4 children, 4 living, b. AL, father b. AL, mother b. SC, farm labor. 3. Parker, Missouri J.C. (she was always known as Catherine), granddaughter, age 16, b. AL, parents b. AL 4. Parker, Edgar W, Grandson, age 13, b. AL 5. Parker, George T, grandson, age 10, b. AL 6. Parker, John D, grandson, age 8, b. AL 7. DOVER, George W, nephew, age 26, single, b. AL, parents b. AL, farm labor. 1920 Census, Clay Co., AL, Union Precinct No 15, ED 54, sheet 3B & 4A: Dwelling 54, family 55 1. DOVER, George W, Head, age 36, married, farmer. 2. Masura J (should be Missouri - I guess the census taker couldn't spell), wife, age 25. 3. I. V., daughter, age 2 yrs 9 months 4. George D, son, age 1 month 5. Parker, Masura E (Missouri again), Aunt, age 74, widow, and this time gives AL as POB for herself & parents. (Census's are somewhat unreliable so far as POB's & ages are concerned.) NOW, George W. Dover is the son of John Abel Dover, my great grandpa, who is the son of David & Sarah Sparks Dover. That is why I've assumed that Missouri Dover married a Parker. George Dover's mother was Martha Emily Shaddix (dau of Robert and Sarah Walden Shaddix), and I cannot find a Missouri in the Shaddix side of the family who could be George Dover's aunt. It seems that Rosemary, and perhaps others too, have her marrying William B. Shaddix. Your message has David's sister, Mary, marrying William B. Shaddix. In the Clay Co. Heritage Book page 208, under an article "Shadix (Shaddix) Family " (Robert Shaddix and Sarah Walden's descendants) the writer Doyce T. Shaddix has Missouri "Mary" Dover (Robertson) marrying William Marion Shaddix on 9 - 13 1866. The record of marriage I found in another book on Clay Co Marriages gives only Mary E. Robertson m. W. M. Shaddix 9-13-1866 at residence of Wm Robertson, James A. Shaddix, MG. I assume her maiden name was Robertson, although Betty Shaddix Lewis believes that Mary Dover had married a Robertson prior to W.M. Shaddix. NOW, can anyone straighten me out on this? By the way does anyone know who are parents of William B. Shaddix? William M. is Robert and Sarah Shaddix's son. Has anyone found actual record of marriage for Missouri, and for Mary Dover? Sherry Worthy Horn

Gayle, I was going back through some of the old postings and ran across this one. I can understand your "fixing" on the Francois Defour issue. It is fairly well documented that Francis J. Dover was born in NC in 1760/61. Someone born here would not need to an oath, besides . Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I seriously doubt that Francois Defour and Francis J. Dover are the same person. -----Original Message----- From: GAYLE CALABRESE [mailto:GAELCEE@worldnet.att.net] <mailto:[mailto:GAELCEE@worldnet.att.net]> Sent: Monday, March 08, 1999 4:02 AM To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com <mailto:DOVER-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: [DOVER-L] searches.rootsweb (http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices <http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices> from THE GEORGIA GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE- April 1962, pg. 23/24 and pg179/180 also noted, from Chatham co. [Savannah area] among the "registrants of the 1805 land lottery was THOMAS DOVER." It was interesting to me that since the French ending eaux is an "R" sound , that just below his name was "John B. Deveaux." I've done some checking on the Deveaux family name, but nothing conclusive. In a book of Ship Passenger Lists in the South -1538-1825- is a Wm. Deveraux from 1838. But this is not as close as Deveaux. [Of course, I am still stuck on the idea of Francois Defour being a Dover because I can't find Francois Defour anyplace after he appears as taking an oath in Amelia Township, Berkley Co. SC. 8 June 1775. This was on a pg where John Fondren bought land on the east side of the Broad River /Kings Creek , etc. from JOHN DOVER, of Craven Co. SC. This Francois Defour critter is not on the SC 1790 census. Does anyone know when Francis first shows up "recorded" anyplace?

I noted that On the same page begins the Muster list of Captain Archibald Campbell, Dorchester SC. and wondered if he was any relation to Susan Campbell, married to Samuel Dover. from DAR PATRIOT INDEX CENTENNIAL EDITION PART I pg. 866, "DOVER: Francis J.: b.6-28-1760 NC d 12-13-1851 Ga. m.

Census - Anderson and Francis living side by side, with Johnson, one of Francis' sons a few "doors" down. Although Anderson was a resident in Habersham, he drew land in "Lee" county in the 1827 lottery. Also, in that same lottery Francis drew land in Muscogee Co. This goes on to same that Francis was a soldier in the Revolution from SOUTH Carolina. I am confused as to what qualified Anderson to draw land? Also, did any Dovers go to Lee or Muscogee Counties? In my visit to Glynn Co. I discovered no listings for the name Dover. There was however, a listing for a "Doverspike Station" whatever that is. Also, in a book of "Common Jewish Names" are the following : " DOUER - Arabic meaning 'peddler' Dov, Dover, Dower, Duber, Dovravshi " In the SC 1790 Federal Census, York Co. Zeph Dover indicates one male over age 16/one under and there are 7 females. John Dover lists 1 male over age 16, and 5 under 16. There are 5 females listed with him. James Dover has 1 male over 16 listed, 1 male under 16, and only one female. in Greenville Co. Joshua Dover is listed with 3 males under 16 and 2 females. In York Co. for 1850, Robert Dover is on pg. 206. Shadarick Dover is on pg. 244.[He is shown probably as Shadock on the 1840, and Shaderick on the 1830 -where he first appears.] Elizabeth Dover appears on pg.249. John , Asa and Zeph Dover appear on Pg.280.[I think this is probably Zeph "jr." from the 1830 census. There is a Zephaniah on each census since 1790, except for 1840, yet both Jr. and Sr. are on the 1830 census] James [ on 1830/1840 census] and Nathanial [only on 1850] appear on page 282. Elijah, another John,[John Dover first appears on the 1790 on the same page as Jason Dover who never shows up in York again. John appears on the 1810,1830 and 1840 census, but not on the 1820]and a Martha, appear on pg. 284.[Elijah appears on each York Census from 1800]Mahala appears on pg. 285.[It is interesting that Martha and Mahala are only on the 1850 census] James "M." Dover and Martin Dover are on pg. 287. [Martin shows up first in 1840 at the same time Morgan Dover appears, but Morgan doesn't show on other York Co. Census] Thomas C. is on page 290- closer to James M. and Martin than others. Chris, This can't be our Tommy C. of course, because Tommy C. was born in 1839. It could of course be Samuel's brother. The fact that we find a Thomas C. early and the later one generally recognized as "Tommy" C. seems to indicate that they were trying to differentiate between the two. It can't be our Tommy's dad, because it is already established from various census, etc. that our Tommy C. is the son of Samuel and Susan. One other note: Hardaway Youngblood was placed in the guardianship of Samuel Dover in Gwinnett Co.in March of 1832. He would have been around 13 years old. This was after the time that Susan and Samuel already had children-namely Martha C. and Matilda E.(Note the Martha from the 1850 York census- Grandmother perhaps?-) . Hardaway was also one of the soldiers at age 19, who helped with the Cherokee removal. This makes me think of a quote of Bill Cosby's,[I think it was] "Good Heavens, what made all this mess? -A Man came in here and done it. -What man? Will you please tell me how he got in here? -He came through the window. -Window? There's no window in this room! - He brought it with him." Hope some of this helps turn over another rock or two or more.

Does anyone have the detail of Hezekiah on the 1840 census (i.e., age and gender of members of the household)?

Can you tell me when and where Mary Dover (sister to David, b. 1813-14) married William Shaddix? Thanks.

Only problem with dealing with just census indexes is that you can sometimes miss some of the people that were actually there. Hezekiah Dover is also in Habersham Co,GA on the 1840 census on page 124 of Blue Creek Dist. I had not found him on an 1840 census index. It wasn't until Bobbie Jean Frank pointed him out to me that I found him. On the printed census index, he was listed as Hezekiah Douse. He is very clearly Hezekiah Dover on the actual census. It does pay to look at the microfilmed census records! Sharon S

Hello Sherry, Sorry I have not got back to you. Was glad to hear from you and will do better next time. I think I can answer both those questions for you. Before I forget where do you live. The Dovers and the Shaddix are tide three times that I can pull off the top of my head. David Dover my GG grandfather born 1814 SC. Had a sister named Marry Dover and she married William B. Shaddix. David`s son John A. Dover married Martha Shaddix on the 8/26/1865 in Talladega Al. John A. Served in Co. A, 7th Al Cavalry Confederate. My great grandfather was David Dover born born Sept. 27. 1839. He had a son named Columbus McDonald Dover born 1868 in Talladega, County Al and he married Arminda E. Shaddix. My family moved to Lawrence County Tn, and Columbus McDonald is burried at second Creek about three mills from where my parents have lived all there lives. I have some more info on Aminda, I know from memory that she out lived Uncle Mac (as my dad calls him) by many years. Don`t know where the Washington came from on David Dover. The only name I know is from army records and it seem to be Dan`l and I belive that to be Daniel. Maybe you have something I haven`t found. On Dover-L there was something about Loretto County Tn. As Dennis pointed out that is a small city and it is where I went to school and lived until I was drafted into the army. I now live ten miles west of Decatur Al. in Lawrence County AL. All the Dover`s in Lawrence County TN are my family. I hope to hear from you again. And to all the cousins on Dover-L I will try to contribute soon. If I can answer anything questions on the David Dover line I will be clad to. Bobby G. Dover

This is in response to one of Gayle's messages. There's an A. E. Dover who was Andrew who was a son of Jeptha Dover from Buncombe. Andrew was born 1827/8. He was married to Mahilda/ Matilda. The CSA records show two different (I believe) A. E. Dover's, both in sister companies. I think they are different because of the rank, but the quick promotion is possible in the Dover family (right Randy and Bobby?). A. E. Dover Co. E, 60 Georgia Infantry Sgt/1st Lt. A. E. Dover Co.

Dover who was wounded at Chancellorsville, Va. May 3, 1863 -captured, etc. and took the oath of allegiance at Knoxville, was ours. This Thomas C. was in Co. E 18th Regiment Ga. Volunteer Inf. from Gordon Co. which is the Calhoun area. That would correlate with what else we know about their location. I remember that he was supposed to have been "wounded" and thought dead for a long while. Two known brothers of Tommy C.- James E. and Samuel Zachery were in Co. E 60th Regiment- Ga. Vol. Inf. from Whitfield Co.[Dalton Area] One thing to note here is that the Volume that gives the info about James only says he was wounded and sent to a hospital in Columbia SC. It doesn't say that he died as we have all been told. Do you have anything on that? [ Also, Dennis, did you know who the "A.E. Dover" who was also in this company was? There are 5 other Thomas's listed and a Thomas G. and a Thomas Jefferson Dover, plus 3 -T.E.Dovers that I have yet to check out. Dennis, do you know which of the S.A./Samuel G./S.Z. and the 2 - S.D.

Census - Anderson and Francis living side by side, with Johnson, one of Francis' sons a few "doors" down. Although Anderson was a resident in Habersham, he drew land in "Lee" county in the 1827 lottery. Also, in that same lottery Francis drew land in Muscogee Co. This goes on to same that Francis was a soldier in the Revolution from SOUTH Carolina. I am confused as to what qualified Anderson to draw land? Also, did any Dovers go to Lee or Muscogee Counties? In my visit to Glynn Co. I discovered no listings for the name Dover. There was however, a listing for a "Doverspike Station" whatever that is. Also, in a book of "Common Jewish Names" are the following : " DOUER - Arabic meaning 'peddler' Dov, Dover, Dower, Duber, Dovravshi " In the SC 1790 Federal Census, York Co. Zeph Dover indicates one male over age 16/one under and there are 7 females. John Dover lists 1 male over age 16, and 5 under 16. There are 5 females listed with him. James Dover has 1 male over 16 listed, 1 male under 16, and only one female. in Greenville Co. Joshua Dover is listed with 3 males under 16 and 2 females. In York Co. for 1850, Robert Dover is on pg. 206. Shadarick Dover is on pg. 244.[He is shown probably as Shadock on the 1840, and Shaderick on the 1830 -where he first appears.] Elizabeth Dover appears on pg.249. John , Asa and Zeph Dover appear on Pg.280.[I think this is probably Zeph "jr." from the 1830 census. There is a Zephaniah on each census since 1790, except for 1840, yet both Jr. and Sr. are on the 1830 census] James [ on 1830/1840 census] and Nathanial [only on 1850] appear on page 282. Elijah, another John,[John Dover first appears on the 1790 on the same page as Jason Dover who never shows up in York again. John appears on the 1810,1830 and 1840 census, but not on the 1820]and a Martha, appear on pg. 284.[Elijah appears on each York Census from 1800]Mahala appears on pg. 285.[It is interesting that Martha and Mahala are only on the 1850 census] James "M." Dover and Martin Dover are on pg. 287. [Martin shows up first in 1840 at the same time Morgan Dover appears, but Morgan doesn't show on other York Co. Census] Thomas C. is on page 290- closer to James M. and Martin than others. Chris, This can't be our Tommy C. of course, because Tommy C. was born in 1839. It could of course be Samuel's brother. The fact that we find a Thomas C. early and the later one generally recognized as "Tommy" C. seems to indicate that they were trying to differentiate between the two. It can't be our Tommy's dad, because it is already established from various census, etc. that our Tommy C. is the son of Samuel and Susan. One other note: Hardaway Youngblood was placed in the guardianship of Samuel Dover in Gwinnett Co.in March of 1832. He would have been around 13 years old. This was after the time that Susan and Samuel already had children-namely Martha C. and Matilda E.(Note the Martha from the 1850 York census- Grandmother perhaps?-) . Hardaway was also one of the soldiers at age 19, who helped with the Cherokee removal. This makes me think of a quote of Bill Cosby's,[I think it was] "Good Heavens, what made all this mess? -A Man came in here and done it. -What man? Will you please tell me how he got in here? -He came through the window. -Window? There's no window in this room! - He brought it with him."

Good one Cousin Ava!! Keep going!!!I don't know anything,but someone else on the list might. I have an Amanda Dover who married John Bryant and M.E. Hames, maybe this is another marriage. The time slot could be right, but I don't have any locations in my files yet for them other than she was born in Ga.This one is in the Chatooga Co. Ga. 1910 Census, so maybe not the same one.
