I was resubmitting some of these things for the benefit of those new members, especially for the benefit of questions regarding the land lotteries in GA.

Dennis (and everyone) We were discussing the North Carolina aspect of research and I found this today and thought it interesting and thought you might like to see it. It would seem that someone could have stayed in one house and been in 5 or 6 different counties. Rutherford County was created from Tryon County in 1779. Tryon County was created from Mecklenburg County in 1768. Mecklenburg County was created from Anson County in 1762. Anson County was created from Bladen County in 1750, Bladen County was created from New Hanover County in 1734. New Hanover County was created from Craven County in 1729. Craven County was created from Archdale County in 1712. Buncombe was created from Rutherford and Burke Counties in 1791. See history of Rutherford County. Burke County was created from Rowan County in 1777, Rowan County was created from Anson County in 1753. See history of Anson County. Guide to Research Materials in the North Carolina State Archives.

After looking at some records from Antioch Baptist Church from South Carolina, the same one that I documented this summer, I believe the John Dover mentioned below by Cousin Randy, would be the John Dover that shows in this cemetery b. May 22, 1816 and d. July 18, 1889 with a wife listed as Dorinda b. April 20, 1825, and d. May 21, 1898 with a husband listed of John. This cemetery is about a mile or two from King's Mt. Battleground state park. It is beautiful. If anyone would like copies of the pictures I took while there, they are welcome to them, as long as you can receive attachments with your e-mail. It is a very large cemetery, and was extremely difficult to document. I am not sure I got all of the Dovers, or read all of the dates correctly. There were TONS of Dovers buried there. This cemetery documentation is also available on the Internet. I will see if I can find the link if anyone wants to go there. I tried to post it all to the list a while back, but it was too large to post. There are 36 pages of stones that are documented in the records I have.

Does anyone have a copy of the will for John Dover? I might be able to dig it up this summer while in Salisbury, which is right above Cleveland County. Cleveland County, is in NC though, which confuses me a little. Would the will be recorded in NC and archived in SC or the other way around? >From Randy's message it looks to me like it is in Cleveland Co. NC. If someone can explain this to me, maybe I can get a copy of it. Might just answer a few questions. I don't understand the NC, SC thing. Would the SC be his state of residence when the will was done, but maybe recorded in Cleveland Co. NC?They are really close. Maps and I don't mix well. Just ask hubby:-) Anyway, Cleveland Co., NC is only about an hour from where I will be. I don't show a Cleveland Co. in SC.The state archives might not be a possible. That is a little farther than I can sweet talk hubby into, and he does not share my OBSESSION for genealogy. Pooh!!! Wish he did. Please, someone explain this to me.

There are some old maps available from Ancestry on the Internet. I will look for the link and post it later today or this evening. They had some neat ones the last time I was there.

It's either moved or I just can't currently find it, but it has the greatest hand drawn maps of the early colonies on through the years. The craftsmanship of the drawings is something to see. I have a couple of the maps that I downloaded, but they are so big on the hard disk that it wouldn't be worth the time to attach them. The maps use place names we wouldn't recognize today.

The D.T. Dover is David T Dover who is the s/o Martin Dover. David T b.22 Dec 1837 d.27 Jan 1889. He was md. to Mary Ellen Biggers. I have the abstract. Does name some of his kids. The John Dover b. 22 May 1816 d.18 July 1889 md to Dorinda Louisa Whisonant. This John is a brother of the Martin mentioned above. Martin and John were the sons of John Dover/Elizabeth ? in York Co. Abstract names wife, kids, and sons-in-law. The John/Elizabeth would be son of John-originator according to 1934 letter. Sharon S

There is a book on census maps: "Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920" by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide. Copyright 1987 I do not have the whole book. A friend copied the pages of several states that I've been researching. Do think that I have seen it at my public library where I research since. Will look for it next chance I have to go. I also want to say that I have seen it advertised in Everton's GEN HELPER. This is a marvelous research tool. Each state has a page map for each census. Each state is in same section. Each year gives notes of county boundary changes during past 10 years. Also has notes on each census year about problems with census, like lost counties, etc. Each map is a state map showing all counties that were counties for that census year. Not sure exactly how big the book is - the TN section that I am looking at is p.314-323. Will try to find out more about it. Sharon S

Dover, RS CptDist/ Cross no.247 Dist. 2 Co. Troup County THE GEORGIA DISTRIBUTION OF LAND BY LOTTERY Following the Revolutionary War it was evident that the "headright" method of distributing land for the settlement of new territory ceded from the Indians was not satisfactory. That plan had led to fraud and confusion. The Land Lottery Act was passed by Ga. in 1803, since it was thought to be a better plan. After this act was passed, some of the counties which were created were land lot, some were headright and some were a combination of headright and land lot. There were 42 all-headright Counties in GS, as wer all counties created prior to 1802. After then the Headright Law continued in effect and headright counties continued to be created. The 2 methods of distribution of land were separate and operated independently of each other. After the Land Lottery Act was passed lotteries were set up by the state in 1805/ 1807/ 1820/ 1827/ and 1832, to divide the land among the people living in the state who met the qualifications. In the lottery plan, all people who wanted to draw a land lot registerd with the majority of the justices of the inferior court in the county in which they lived. The people registered at the county seat where the justices met as a group. The names of those who qualified for land lots were sent to Milledgeville, the state capitol at that time, wher the governor appointed lottery commissioners who wrote the names of those who had registered on small tickets and placed in another druma or whell. On specified days, the commissioners would draw a name ticket from one of the drums and a lot # from the other. These were attached to one another and name and land lot were immediately recorded in ledgers or books for that purpose. Since there were more people to draw than there were land lots, Blank tickest were added to the land lot drum so there would be the same number of tickets in each one. Some people drew blanks designated by letter B, and received nothing. The ones who drew land lot numbers designated by letter P for prize, were called "fortunate drawers." The fortunate drawers were notified of their good luck and were given plats of their lots and grants signed by the Governor with the Stae seal attached after a small required fee was paid. No mention was made of notification of those who drew blanks. There were also fractional lots that did not contain the acreage of regular lots. These were lots that were usually on rivers or boundary lines and were considered more valuable. These were not placed in the lotteries to be drawn. Instead, the State of Georgia sold them to the highest bidder who was issued a grant when the total price had been paid. In each of the 6 lotteries, there were certain qualifications a person must meet to be entitled to draw. In the 1st Land lottery-1805- the qualifications were as follows: 1/Bachelor, 21 years or over, one year residence in Ga, US Citizen = 1 draw 2/ Married man, with wife and/or child, 1 yr. residence in Ga= 2 draws 3/ Widow with minor child, one yr. Residence in Ga = 2 draws 4/ minor orphan, or family of minor orphans/father dead &mother dead or remarried = 1 draw The qualifications for drawing were changed and/or added to in the remaining 5 lotteries. One change in all 5 was that a person must have been a Ga. residence for 3 yrs. In the last 4 lotteries the age qualification was changed from 21 to 18 yrs. The other changes were those Re:Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Indian wars, idiots and illegitimates. The # of acres in the land lots varied from 40 acres to 490 acres, depending on the value. A section near Dahlonega was called the Gold Lands, and these were 4o acres. Other tracts in thsi area wer 169 acres. Lots in the middle part of the state were 202 1/2 acres. Par6 of thelots in Habersham, Hall and Rabun, where the land was not so good were 250 acres. The lots in extreme southeast GA were 490 acres. This section was called the pine Barrens. On name list of lottery drawings BB indicated the drawer had 2 draws and drew 2 blanks. B incicated the drawer had one draw and drew a blank. P indicated the drawer was a fortunate drawer and drew a prize of one lot. BP means one blank draw and one prize of a lot. The 1805 Lottery has special significance when you can access the name list, because of the losss of the 1790/ 1800 and 1810 census records for Georgia. I hope this little history lesson has been helpful for some of you. If you were clear on the Land Lotteries, I apologize for taking up so much space in order to share this with those who weren't.

Later settlers from Ireland were also placed among the French settlers in the upper Sanannah River Valley.

James Martin came to the county in 1834 and married her. In 1836 Dooly and his two sons and henry and James Martin moved to Arkansas. In 1838 they all moved back. " pg. 44, "Robert and Jesse Cross, brothers, in 1832, settled at or near Woodstation. In 1835 Robert Cross sold out to Woods and purchased the place that Robert Magill lived, 5 miles north of Ringgold. After a couple of years sold it back to Robert Magill. Cross then moved to Wood station and died about 1841. He was the Representative from Walker County for one session of the legislature and a prety shrewd man. Jessee Cross cared nothing for an overgown fortune and kept a pack of bear dogs. Long after all the bears, panthers, wild cats, and catamounts had emigrated from this sectin he still carried his gun and gogs wherever he went. About 1845 he leased lands in Houston Valley from Dick Cruce. He was still expecting to met a bear when he left Georgia. Like other hunters, he never amassed a great fortune. " pg. 48, " Littleberry Hendrix was an early settler and lived a half mile south of Trickum. He was a little old man and very violent in his feelings and language. Someone hired a horse to Dover to make a crop with. they fell out and when Dover returned the horse, he would not let the horse go into his lot until the negroes washed him with soap and warm water to get the Dover scent off of the horse. Hendrix died in 1839 or 1840." pg. 56 "Larkin Goodson came in 1841 and married a daughter of Simpson Dover. After four or five years he moved to Alabama." I think this is enough to go over for now. gaelcee - ------------------------------ End of DOVER-D Digest V98 Issue #21 ***********************************

Tennesse 1870 census or info from there after 1860? Or Murray Co. Ga. 1860 census? I don't know how I've missed those. Specifically for Samuel Dover/Susan Campbell In addition to Dennis's recent request for a roll call, I was thinking that maybe we could just send out a list to include our connecting DIRECT line surnames. Maybe we can share some research energy there as well? I am going to try and work up a time line of events from Colonial times to 1900 or so and place a flow of the Dovers within it. We seem to have a bunch of gaps. Naturally, there weren't so many people in what was then wilderness. Georgia was created from SC In 1751 there were "1,900 white settlers and 400 blacks" in Georgia.During the next 22 years this 2,300 population increased to 33,000. The province in 1757 was very poor. There were not 10 men who were worth L500 each. (From the Fledging Province/Harold E. Davis-1976) Wow, this is fun!!------------gaelcee ______________________________ - ----------------------------

Dearing was a pallbearer. You probably recall that Dearing was my widowed name.

DOVER INFO AND OTHER SOURCES FOR MORE CONFUSION ---------- >From Vol. 6 of the "Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia- 1861-1865" Co. A, 65th Regiment Ga.

May 22, 1864. Applied to take the oath of allegiance to the US government and to be allowed to remain north of the Ohio River. Took oarth of allegiance to US gov't at Chattanooga, Tn. May 27, 1864. Assuming that he actually went north of the Ohio river, this would not be our Tommy. Since our Tommy/Thomas was always shown with the middle initial "C" I feel certain that the Thomas C. 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. Dovers belong to?] in Vol. 5,pg.509, in contrast to the "E.B. [or E.V.] that I posted earlier, is the following: "Dover, Edmund B., Private Feb. 12, 1862. Roll for Dec. 31,1863, last on file, shjows him absent without leave since Sept. 20, 1863. Pension records show he was 'discharged near Athens, Ga. close of war.' (Born in Loudsville, Ga. Mar.25, 1827) [I don't know of a Loudsville, but there is a Ludville that is east of Calhoun -probably Pickens Co. Athens- Clarke Co.- is very near Gwinnett Co.] 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?

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.
