L. Dover, proprietor of a saw and grist-mill and cotton-gin, situated near the Fair Ground in Clark Township, was born in Blount County, Ala., in 1848, and was the third in a family of nine children born to B. A. and Patsy (Fielding) Dover, the former a native of North Carolina and the latter of Georgia. They settled in Alabama in 1847, where the father opened up a farm and resided several years, and in 1868 moved to Poinsett County, Ark., where he settled and improved another farm. Since 1874 he has lived in Greene County. His wife died in 1884. A. L. Dover received his early education in Alabama, and after coming to Poinsett County began farming for himself, and like his father has resided in Greene County since 1874. The year following his location here he purchased a tract of land containing 128 acres, which was heavily covered with timber, and commenced immediately to clear it. He now has sixty acres under cultivation, which are well improved with good buildings and orchard. In 1876 he was married to Miss Tennessee V. Yates, a daughter of Henderson and Martha Yates, who were born in Tennessee and Virginia, respectively; the father came to Greene County, Ark, in 1875, his wife having died in Tennessee the year before. Mr. Yates is now residing in Paragould. Mr. Dover votes with [p.136] the Democratic party, and was elected on that ticket to the office of magistrate, which position he held four years. He has always taken an interest in school matters and is now a member of the school board. Socially he belongs to the Masonie fraternity and the I. O. O. F., Paragould Lodge. He and wife became the parents of five children. three of whom are living: William Wallace, Leander Byrd and Henderson Franklin. Arthur Bruce died at the age of one year, and Major Osear died when two years of age. ============================================== 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

"B" is more accurately a definition of non-white or non-appearing white which was also used to denote Native Americans. It's never been that clear cut. -----Original Message----- From: S.Romanek [mailto:romanek@cybertrails.com] Sent: Friday, February 19, 1999 5:57 AM To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [DOVER-L] 1880 Polk County, Tenn.

Does anyone on the list connect to the information below? I have asked the submitter to join the list and have asked for more information if she has it. I will keep you all posted on the outcome. Hope she joins. Sharon Dover Romanek ============ Sharon: I recognized the name Dover in your family line. I have a Nancy Dover b. l897 that married into the Morgan family that I am researching. She married May l8, l9l3 at Scottsboro, Alabama to Harace Luther Morgan b. Sept. l0, l88l in Tn. McMinn Co. Nancy's father was a full blooded Cherokee Indian and was the first Cherokee Indian to become a doctor. He lived in Tennessee. Other known children were Nelson Dover and Bell Dover. Do you have any of these names in your line

Sharon, You got these out of the Polk Co. Census didn't you? I would naturally assume it meant Black. On the census indexes I've checked, the B in parenthesis is listed to indicate that being the case. -----Original Message----- From: S.Romanek <romanek@cybertrails.com> To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com <DOVER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, February 19, 1999 4:51 PM Subject: [DOVER-L] 1880 Polk County, Tenn.
