This is Dillingham Dover/Elizabeth Helton aka "Dillin" Dover. He is s/oFrederickDover/Margaret that came from Buncombe Co,NC.

I got to looking at some old posts and noticed Isaac. I posted last week where Isaac was in the War of 1812. Anybody know if these are all the same Isaacs? The age would fit.

I have a mystery Dover that appeared in Pulaski Co, AR near my Elijah Benson Dover. His family was 2 dwellings away from my EB on 1880 census with EB's daughter between them. His family were members of Zion Hill Bapt Church where my EB pastored and was associated for many years until his death.

Kinda old maybe for a first marriage. To date I have found no family connection to my Elijah Benson Dover. Does anyone have any idea who his parents might have been? He could sure use some. :-) I have further data on his descendants, if someone wants to claim him. Sharon S

Is this D. Dover Dillon (sp?) Dover? I would kind of guess so since they have a Dillon Mc as a son. Does anyone know who Margaret's husband is?

This is a reference as a followup to the message about Carroll County, Georgia. I've looked at the census film and don't have a strong sense that Hugh is a Dover. Samuel G. Dover in 1850 Carroll County, Georgia would fit as a possible son to the following John in Anderson Co. and this John does seem to fit the John in Carroll County, Georgia. So what does this say for David Dover in Carroll County, Georgia? David misses an age group in the 1830 Anderson County census, yet he was probably young enough to still be at home with his parents in 1830. He was born 1814 SC (consistent in his censuses) so he would have been 16 years old in 1830. Doesn't seem to fit in the York families except for possibly Hezekiah who had seven sons in 1830. Could fit as a son of either of the John Dover's in 1820 Buncombe County, North Carolina and also the elder John Dover in the 1830 Buncombe census. Bobby (SGM Rock) Dover has a faint story in his family ... he hasn't said it on the list so I will :-) because I think it's a very important clue. The family lore is that David was one of seven sons from the Carolina's (NC/SC or vice versa).... and possibly the last of seven sons. I'd have to rule out Hezekiah altogether because I think Hezekiah had more than seven sons. Several researchers back in the 70's, one related to the John Dover in Carroll County, speculated together that the John Dover in Carroll County, Georgia came from Anderson County, South Carolina and that he might be a son of Joshua Dover (b 1753). Josh was in Greenville District, SC in 1790. 1830 Anderson M19-173 Page 122 Hugh Dover 30-40 1790-1800 001001-00001 Female 20-30 1800-1810 Male 10-15 1815-1820 Page 175 John Dover 40-50 1780-1790 2010001-111001 Female 30-40 1790-1800 Male 10-15 1815-1820 Female 10-15 1815-1820 Female 05-10 1820-1825 Male -5 1825-1830 Male -5 1825-1830 Female -5 1825-1830

It appears from the census records that Johnson Dover had three sons, one of whom would have been born about 1804 (more or less). If J.N. and E.B. are his two other sons, would anyone have any idea who his oldest son was?

I think Lawson Dover could be a possibility. His age would certainly work. We know he had some kind of connection to Habersham Co,GA. We also know that Lawson Dover had connections to a Cross family. I have wondered if Lawson's wife is a Cross and if she is connected to the FJD Cross bunch, but haven't made a connection as of yet. Lawson was b.ca 1800. Only problem I can see, is age of Johnson. From his 1850-60 census he was 63-73, so would be 33 in 1820. The male on 1820 was 16-26 1794-1804. Johnson would only be 13 at birth of Lawson. Lawson appears on census for the first time 1830. Could of course just been someone living with them or working for them. I feel that Lawson Dover has some connection to FJD, but haven't found anything to prove it. I've wondered if Jesse Green might have confused him for Benson or Nelson in his autobiography. Lawson would fit the "son" naming pattern. Lawson is consistant in census that he was b.SC. Sharon S

Some of this is a repeat because we have several new descendants of David & Sarah Sparks DOVER on DOVER-L. The most recent update here is the Douglas County, Georgia info at the end which indicates that Samuel G. Dover was born in South Carolina in 1829. That means that Samuel was 0-5 years old in the 1830 census ... haven't looked but bet it was Anderson County, South Carolina. 1840, 713th District, Page 50, Roll 704-38 John Dover 50-60 1780-1790 Female 50-60 1780-1790 Female 15-20 1820-1825 Male 10-15 1825-1830 Female 10-15 1825-1830 David Dover 20-30 1810-1820 Female 20-30 1810-1820 Male 05-10 1830-1835 Female 05-10 1830-1835 1850, 11th Division, Page 45, Dwelling 607 Sam'l Dover 21 1829 GA Married within the year Sarah 23 1827 GA 1860, Fairplay, Flint Hill, Page 620 Samuel G.

Diane, I started a timeline about three or four years ago where I attempted a horizontal timeline from earliest Haw River days and tried to flow it out to 1810+/-. I added individual names and places along the timeline. Truth is there just aren't that many people to follow. I got so confused on the John's. There's always one too many John's and no way to account for them. My take was the the first John may not be the one referred to in the 1934 letter and that the first John could have been born before 1700. When I look at the timeline, I have a whole different take on the Dover family, particularly on the John who went to Wrightsborough (the Quaker). He just disappears. I figure he went back up north, went to Buncombe or maybe even Hawaii. Anyway, my time line is in an Excel spreadsheet. To make room for the notes, I had to run it out several printout pages. If anyone uses Excel ... you're welcome to the file as an attachment. Frankly, I believe the timeline perspective has lots of merit .... I just haven't done anything with it for several years. -----Original Message----- From: Diane Bingham [mailto:dbing@inreach.com] Sent: Sunday, March 07, 1999 6:46 PM To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [DOVER-L] Timeline Hi everyone - I have been getting so many leads and ideas and notes and... well, you name it, that I'm going crazy trying to follow up on them all. And I wondered if anyone had ever thought of doing a timeline. If we started with the most distant known Dover and added everything that we have accumulated, perhaps we could see a pattern. At this point, I have pretty much excluded information from other lines as I'm innundated with dates and names and places and ????? that either pertain directly or just closely. Maybe this is more than anyone has time or inclination to do, but I saw such a timeline on another list that I correspond with. Yes it was long, but WOW. Looking forward to some ideas from all you dedicated researchers. Diane ==== DOVER Mailing List ==== Some of the information you see may not be verified. Remember to verify sources yourself.

A while back, I posted something from Ancestry.com to another list, trying to wake up a bunch of couch potatoes. I was informed by another list member that I was asking for trouble by doing this - and he went on about copyright laws, etc. Well, I was having fun and all the other members did get up off the couch for a while. But this copyright stuff scared me and the list is totally inactive again. What do you guys think?? Can I get myself into trouble by doing this?? Any thoughts on this matter would be great.

Hi again, Decided to do this in segments to try to keep it from being so long. All I have on these two grandfathers is what I received from Randy Dover (my eternal gratitude!) I do have Tomilene Dover, but don't know her -- didn't have the "Higginbottom." I have added ? Higginbottom as her spouse. I would love to have more -- birthdates etc. Also, I would love to have her address -- either e-mail or snail-mail, or both. It seems as though we would be fairly close cousins since her grandfather was a brother to my grandmother. Right? I sent Randy the GED for the descendants of Lula Jane Dover Lindsey. I tried to send it to the list, but they couldn't receive it because I hadn't turned off the MIME, or whatever. Randy said that the list has it -- so maybe it has gone to the archives. Thanks to a posting I found that for the first time just very recently and now have it bookmarked. If you would like me to TRY sending it again just let me know. I would be glad to send anything I have to you either by e-mail or snail-mail if you will send me your snail-mail address. Mine is Mrs. Lou Morton Ellis, 12535 Matisse Lane, Dallas,TX 75230-1741 Thanks to all my newly found cousins -- especially Randy and the beautiful Sharon Dover Romanek. I know she is beautiful because I now have a face to put to her name (she sent me a picture.) Hint! Hint! Cousin Lou

Dear Sharon, In response to your query -- No, Lula Jane Dover was not married more than once, at least not as far as I know. I'm sure the mixup came in trying to read Census takers handwriting. Script "I" and script "J", as you know, can be very hard to tell apart, especially since a lot of the census takers tried to be very "fancy" with their writing and embellished their capital letters with a lot of extra strokes. He was called I. C. a lot -- Cornelius by some -- and in one census he was listed as "Nelia". My assumption there is that possibly one of the children answered the door and couldn't pronounce "Cornelius." Or, of course, that COULD have been a nickname for him. Below is a copy of his Obit that a cousin had saved. Unfortunately, the name of the newspaper was not included. Also, In writing for his death certificate, they answered back that they could not find one -- even though I sent them the Obit and knew where he was buried. The date of his death can't be off more than a day or two since I was born Oct. 27, 1927 and my mother took me to his funeral (my first trip, according to my baby book!) TOMBSTONE -- Black Springs Cemetery, Black Springs, Arkansas -- Born: Feb. 8, 1850 (Year has to be an error. He was born Feb 8, 1857 or 1859). Death: Nov. 19, 1927 NEWSPAPER OBITUARY: "I. C. LINDSEY TAKES OWN LIFE" "Protracted Dissipation Given as inciting Cause for Desperate Deed." " The death of I.C. Lindsey respected citizen aged 69 Saturday night, by poison self-administered, aame as a distinct shock to his many friends who always regarded him as of cheerful, optimistic position. The only possible reason for the rash deed is thought to have been that Mr. Lindsey was crazed at the time from the effects of drinking heavily of vile bootleg beverages. He had been drinking excessively since Thursday, but had seemingly braced up and was lying across the bed with his shoes off Saturday night when Mrs. Lindsey and Loda left to attend church services. When they returned home about 9:30 Mr. Lindsey was nowhere in sight. An up-turned glass tumbler was found on a table on the front porch with a partially empty carton of rat poison beside it, and also an empty bottle labeled strychnine. On a dresser a note addressed to his baby daughter, Mrs. Loda Roland, read: "Goodbye, babe, I am gone." A general search was then instituted for the missing man in which neighbors joined. The body was found on the floor of the barn a short distance from the house, stretched out full length with several gunny sacks folded for a pillow beneath his head. The body was cold, so it is surmised the deed must have been committed very shortly after the family left the house. Dr. Plunket was immediately called and he at once summoned the county coroner, Dr. Freeman, from Mr. Ida. A jury was impanelled and a verdict rendered that deceased came to his death by poison, self administered. The children of deceased, Otis and Madison Lindsey of Mauldin, two sons in the West, and Dovie, Fannie and Thelma, daughters of Hot Springs were summoned and several arrived in time to attend the funeral which was held Sunday afternoon at the family home at 4:30. The only service was a prayer by Rev. John T. Barr, whose touching words left few dry eyes among the large gathering of friends and neighbors present. Burial was at Black Springs cemetary. Rev. Ferguson made a beautiful talk, but there was no music or flowers, deceased having often expressed the wish that no songs should be sung or flowers strewn at his funeral. It is hard to believe that I. C. Lindsey deliberately took his own life. Rather let us think that for the moment reason had flown and he knew not what he was doing. It is not hard to forgive a man possessing so many sterling qualities as did Mr. Lindsey for the weakness he yielded to at long intervals, a weakness God alone knows how manfully he may have fought against. Forgiving, let us remember only that Mr. Lindsey was a kind and indulgent husband and father, a generous friend, a man known to have paid his debts to the last penny and to have been upright and square with his fellowmen. Mr. Lindsey came here over 20 years ago and has lived all at Hot Springs. At the time of his death he was not engaged in business, but had at various times owned and operated grocery stores and restaurants. He leaves a wide circle of friends to mourn his death besides his family---a wife and eight children. While it is a sad and most deplorable deed to rush unbidden to face, the unfathomed mysteries of life after death, let us hope and believe that an all-seeing and ever merciful Judge may deal gently with the erring, and that facts and circumstances hidden to mortal eyes and understanding, may in that clearer vision serve to paliate and condone."

C. Lindsey" Mrs. I. C. Lindsey and Children.
