Hi Sharon R, Just wanted to say thanks for your dedication and posted data. Found a possible clue for one of my lost Dovers -- Thornton Dover -- in one of your postings. Can't wait to followup on it and see where it leads!! Thanks again!! Sharon S.

Search engines that do multiple searches from seven to fourteen search engines from other sites (Alta Vista, Lycos, etc.). http://www.profusion.com/ http://www.dogpile.com/ http://www.searches.com/

This is additional info from some other lists. Not all in our path, but gives some help. Franklin and Elbert are probables. I believe that we will find additional Dover and allied family info in what I think of as north central Georgia counties ... surrounding those counties we already know about. If the first Dover's were in Georgia by 1820 (notably Francis J. Dover), the connection of any records can fill in the path through 1840-50. It's that time period and the lottery system that has the potential of filling in family gaps. Lawson DOVER comes to mind immediately. I think we've already found him in 1830 Muscogee Co. with CROSS families. One of the most useful "mapping" tools available is AniMap Plus by The Gold Bug on CD. It's a county boundary locator by state that shows the county boundaries by date so that you can see when the boundaries changed. Many times an ancestor never moved even though deed and census records might show different county names over a period of time.

http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/data/ar+ind ex+84150694661+F CRAWFORD COUNTY, AR BIOGRAPHIES - T - Z Jacob F. Wells was born in Newton County, Ark., in 1842, being a son of Jacob and Rosanet (Newcomb) Wells. The father was probably born in Illinois, and came to Newton County from Missouri in 1838. In 1844 he came to Crawford County, settling upon the farm subject now owns, and dying in Van Buren in 1865, at which time he was living with his second wife, subject's mother having died soon after coming to this county. The father was of Irish descent, and both himself and wife belonged to the Baptist Church. Jacob F. is the youngest of a family of ten children, nine now living, and all save one residents of Crawford County. His brother, Thomas, served from June, 1862, [p.1212] until the battle of Prairie Grove, where he was killed, in Company G. Twenty-second Arkansas Infantry. Jacob spent three years of active service in the same company, with the exception of six months, when he was disabled by gunshot wounds in his right side, received at the battle of Helena. He fought at Prairie Grove and Saline, and participated in every engagement that this brigade fought in, operating in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. He surrendered at Fort Smith on June 10, 1865. In 1866 he married Jane Yerton, who died in Texas in 1875, leaving four children, and in 1878 married Martha J. Chastain, also a native of this county, who died in 1887, he having thus lived with his first wife nine years, three months and twenty- eight days, and with his second nine years, three months and twenty- nine days. December 22, 1887, he was married a third time, Mrs. Sarah C. Dover, nee Rozell, becoming his wife. She also is a native of Crawford County, and is a Methodist. Mr. Wells and his first two wives many years ago united with the Baptist Church. Mr. Wells is a blacksmith and wood-worker by trade, and has a nice farm of 162 acres, upon which he has lived fifteen years. He has been engaged in blacksmithing eighteen years. He is a Democrat, and cast his first presidential vote for Greeley. In 1888 he was elected justice of the peace of Vine Prairie Township, and he has filled the offices from Junior Deacon to Worshipful Master in the East, in Pleasant Hill Masonic Lodge No. 233. ============================================== Sharon DOVER Romanek Prescott, Az Researching: KIRKSEY, DOVER, TYNER, SHRADER, EDGE, WILLIAMS romanek@cybertrails.com Sept. 30-May 15 romanek@salisbury.net May 30-Sept 15 sromanek@hotmail.com Year Round Back-Up only

For those of you who are at a loss on the message below. Cousin Max is one of the new cousins that Randy found about two months or so ago now and a fairly new list member. He first contacted me New Years Day. What a great way to start the New Year!!!. Gayla is also a new cousin, and Jim is her husband. They are all from the same line that Randy and I are from. I think most of our correspondence has been private, so a lot of you may not know what is going on here. I get to meet them this summer on the way back to N.C. YIPPEEE!!!!
