Hi Everyone, Mail is back up. I lost four messages though. Will never know what they were. POOH!!! On the message from Dennis below on the Chattanooga connections, I have thought it was interesting some of the locations the Dovers in Chattanooga lived at. I am a native of Chattanooga, and many of the street names in the letter that I remember seeing, are very close to Kelly Street where I lived in the 50's. Granny and Grandpa are also suppose to have lived on Watkins Street, where their daughter Nellie, who I can find nothing on is said to have died from Typhoid Fever ca. 1918-1921. My mother says she thinks she remembers hearing that they were not close relations, but she is the only one alive who can tell me anything anymore, and is a Dover by marriage, so would only know what she was told. Granny hated the Dovers, so would not talk about anything she might have known. Too bad. I am sure a lot of good information went with her to her grave. Glad to be back on. This was driving me nutts. I do have two other items to post to the list that I found at the LDS Family History Center. They are not much, just left over, that I didn't get to post, before e-mail went down. Sharon Dover Romanek -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Dover <ddover@earthlink.net> To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com <DOVER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, January 23, 1999 6:06 PM Subject: RE: [DOVER-L] Misc. LDS Family History Center Finds #1 >From Sharon's post, Alice would be the sister of John E. Dover the author of the 1934 letter which states that Alice below was the widow of J. Gid Lovelady, a farmer of Daisy, Tennessee residing at 411 Oak Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee. >From memory, there was a Cherokee claim on the Whitice family. Alice's parents, William M. Dover and Mary T. Whittice were married May 7, 1863 in Whitfield County, Georgia which was formed from Murray and Walker counties in 1851. There may still be these Dover connections in Chattanooga. I think there's an attorney in town from this family who may have run for political office in recent years. Two things which I think are important. The 1934 letter says that Alice's grandparents were John and Elizabeth Dover ... the implication that John was born about 1756. This has never been proved to my knowledge. The second point is that it might be easy to "assume" that everyone in this branch of the Dover family has the 1934 letter. I "doubt" that very much. I know the family members of John Randolph Dover, also mentioned in the 1934 letter, are about as clueless about their family as we are about "our" branches of the family. The 1934 letter contains information that would sure be nice to be able to verify and the ONLY way "we" can do that is to find these family members and share our kinship. From memory, William Dover, father of John E., Alice and others from the 1934 letter is buried in or near York. I think there's a chance John E. Dover might still be alive. I seem to remember that some recent or current state politician in Tennessee is married to a Dover. Anyone ever heard that? Dennis #2 Alice Dover b.

I am having such a hard time with my mail. I have sent several posts, but I'm not certain who has gotten what...... I don't thing the following reached the list. ----Sorry if it's a repeat. .........gaelcee Fannin Co. marriages 24 October, 1880, Linch T. Dover to Martha C. Morris. Joel Walker Jp- B-269 Polk Co. Tn. Marriages William Dover to Fannie Morgan, 18 March, 1897 To Dennis, regarding the Chattanooga Dovers...... There was an attorney named Robert Dover who ran for some sort of political office. Also, there is a Charlie, or Tom who also ran for something political in that area. I know he was late to my grandmother's funeral, but came to the cemetery. He was said to look like my grandfather, whom I never knew. His father and my grandfather were 1st cousins. I am trying to reach a greatgranddaughter of Samuel and Susan, who is about 87 years old. She is a granddaughter of their Tommy C. Dover through James Elbert Dover. She would have a lot of info to include who this politician was. Regarding the Cherokee thing.........besides the claim on Alantha, there is an Augusta Dover whose application # 24411 was approved. I haven't gotten a copy of the application to check out the info included there........gaelcee

In reference to the Dover children living with the Gamblin's in Ripley County, MO 1850 (recently posted)...... Gamblin researchers believe all 5 children belong to Mary Ann, wife of William Gamblin (house # 229). William married Mary Ann Dover, a widow, sometime between 1843 and 1850, place unknown. I am hoping someone can help me figure out who Mary Ann's first husband was by reviewing the following: Mary Ann was born abt 1797 in MD. She married ? Dover and had William K 1832 TN, James M 1836 TN, Jesse 1837 AR, Henry P 1840 AR, and Lillaoma 1843 AR. Suspect there were older children also. She married William Gamblin 1843-1850. William was born 1794 NC, the son of Joshua Gamblin. William was married 2 times before. 1st to Marian Greathouse in 1815, 2nd to Betsy Bond in 1823. William Gamblin was living in Hopkins County, KY 1820 and Calloway County, KY 1830. By 1840, he was in southern IL. By 1847, he was in Ripley County, MO. Any thoughts will be appreciated, as this has become more of a guessing game than anything! Thank You! Laura

The Collins fellow next door kind of catches my attention - again, there could be a connection to the Marcus Dellinger I mentioned earlier. So I'm going to tell you the little I know. At least you'll have it for your file for the day all these mysteries are solved [Ha]. Valentine Dellinger born c1813 in Lincoln Co., NC, son of Andrew and Hannah (Golden) Dellinger. Married 25 August 1836 Lincoln Co., NC to Jane Collins. Not sure, but think her father was William Collins Sr. Valentine and Jane (Collins) Dellinger moved to Gilmer Co., Ga. c1849/1850. 23 September 1850 Gilmer Co. p378a-378b, Subdivision #33 [everyone born NC]: Valentine Dillinger age 36. Farmer. Jane Dillinger age 30 Marcus Dillinger age 13 John Dillinger age 10 Sarah Dillinger age 2 Mary H. Dillinger age 2 Neighbors: #422: Washington Jackson age 35 born SC Sanford Owens age 26 born SC #424: William H. Collins age 38 born NC Nancy Collins born SC; all children born NC util age 5 child born GA. I had in mind this guy was Jane (Collins) Dillinger's brother. Don't know what happened to Valentine and family - not found on 1860 Gilmer Co. Census. Again, this stuff may be totally irrelevant but thought I should pass it on. I'm going to keep your note about Madison Dover in the file in hopes that something breaks loose. Please stay in touch anytime, Kath. --------------0CA02B3ECFE0C091473E9D25--

Two things going here. Jimmie Sue has "Nora Ophelia Dover b. 20/Feb/1852 in Georgia, and died 24/Sept/1927 in Jefferson Co. Alabama. She married John T. Setliff in Georgia ca. 1872, probably either in Murray or Whitfield Co." I haven't talked to Jimmie Sue recently but thought I would throw this out. There's a Thomas P. Sutliff in 1850 Murray County who happens to be on the same census page with several families that were neighbors to Morgan Dover and Alexander Martin in 1840 Murray County. I don't know or rememeber if there is a connection with this John T. Setliff and Thomas P. Sutliff. Alexander Martin is from Kings Creek and part of the Martin connection with Bersheba Dover and the altercation with Hezekiah and Michael. Morgan Dover born 1770-1780 still bugs me because I think the 1934 letter which states the following is really telling us that Morgan Dover in 1840 Murray County is James Dover the 3rd son of John Dover #1: "#3 James located down on Broad River, hence the Morgan Dover family of Broad River." It's bad census film on the wrong pages, but a case can be made that a Morgan Dover was in 1820 Pendleton County, South Carolina right in the midst of the Mullinax families just posted regarding the will which included Francis J. Dover AND very near a few other families, one which is very probably (James FIELDING) the father of Martha Ann "Patsy" FIELDING wife of Bailey Appleton Dover. This older Morgan Dover is NOT the one(s) who appear in York after 1800 also connected with the Martin families. One of these younger Morgan's also goes by Shade or Shadrick/Shadrack.

I live so far away (35 miles) from any library, when I go, I use a "search and seize" method. Consequently, I have all these little notes that don't immediately connect with any of my group. I thought I'd post them and get them in the archives and off my desk. Maybe there'll be something someone else can use. Etowah Co.

Here's what I have. Think there's another piece to the story written by a daughter. Fascinating story. A copy of the original is filed with the Texas State Archives. I thought I had posted this to the list but can't find it either. Jesse Green Autobiography This autobiographical sketch was handwritten in a store ledger book in Polk County, Arkansas in 1912 by Jesse Mercer Green, second son of William W. Green and Hannah Dover. He was born April 17, 1836 at Sharp Mountain Creek (now Indian Ball Ground), Cherokee County, Georgia. This transcription was made from an old typewritten copy of the original handwritten autobiography. Source: Diane Bingham Biographical Sketch of Jesse M. Green I write this sketch of my life and that of my ancestors for the information and satisfaction of my children and their offspring's, and to keep a faint line at least of our ancestors. I will speak first of our ancestors as I know them and have received the information from my father while he was yet living. My father, William Washington Green, was a son of Amos Green, who raised eleven children, six boys and five girls, to wit: Richard, who died in the Indian Territory and was buried at old Fort Towson. His family, girls only, are lost to us. The next Jesse was a doctor and discovered the great dropsy remedy, which has been put out for many years by the H. H. Green and Sons. My father Andrew Jackson. Jonathan who died in Hopkins County, Texas. Oliver who never married. The girls were first Sallie who married Oliver Cowart. Polly who married Daniel Morrison in Habersham County, Georgia. Milley married -- Maxwell. The next married a Williams. These last two never left North Carolina where the family was raised. The fifth girl was never married. Grandfather died aged about eighty. His wife's maiden name was Elisabeth Searcy. He was raised in North Carolina. His father was I believe Richard Green. Anyway he was son of General Nathaniel Green of Revolution fame. Grandfather and many of the Green family were wealthy Negro holders before the Civil War. My mother was the daughter of Anderson Dover who raised eleven children, five boys and six girls, to wit: Harriet, she married Alfred Hicks. Hannah, my mother. Mary, she married William Hendrix.

Grandpa's mother was a Posey, and his wife's maiden name was Jane Cross. They were raised in South Carolina. Raised their family in Cherokee and Habersham County, Georgia. He died in Polk, Arkansas at the age of 96 years. Father and mother were married in Habersham County Georgia and had born 17 children, 14 of whom they raised, 7 boys and 7 girls.

He was 1st Lieutenant in Alabama Regiment of Volunteers in the Confederate War, and was wounded at Chickamauga. Afterward was captured and held a prisoner on Johnson Island in Lake Erie for 18 months to the end of the war. A. W. belonged to the Marines in the war. He was a railroad man and lived at Mobile, Alabama, was killed by the cars on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad in 1867, and his family is lost to the family. S.

M. married Lulu Norris, daughter of Dr. J. A. Norris of Polk County, Arkansas. They with all their children live in Potawatamie County, Oklahoma. Politically - Our family and ancestors on both paternal and maternal sides are and have been strong democrats believing in States rights and every other doctrine held and advocated by the true democratic party and have often from time to time held office of trust on that platform. Therefore it would be expected that they would be on the side of the South in the hard struggle of the war between the States, which they were. Religiously - Believing in that principle that would leave everyone to the free worship of God according to the dictates of his conscience. The entire separation of church and State and the doctrine that the New Testament furnished sufficient rule both of faith and practice and that other doctrine that everything taught by prescript or example in the New Testament should be obeyed, and that which was not so taught had no binding form and should not be imposed on the conscience of men. So it would be expected to find them Baptists which as a family they have been all the way down the line with very few exceptions, with many Baptist ministers among them. They usually have large families, are of Scotch descent with a good percent of Dutch, mostly the Scotch shows by a hump on the nose, a little Roman nose. Jesse Mercer Green, the subject of this sketch was born on Sharp Mountain Creek near what was then called the Indian Ball Ground (which is now the town of Indian Ball Ground, Cherokee County, Georgia) on April 17th, 1836. This is before the Indians moved west, and hence was the Cherokee Nation. He was the second son of William W. Green and Hannah Dover Green. At two years of age my father bought, or drawed some land (the Cherokee land was drawed for, much like the Comanches land for in Oklahoma) five miles north of Canton, where he lived till I was eleven years old, except one year we lived in Forsyth County 8 miles from Dalton, or it was then Cross Plains. Here we lived on the Connasauga River until I was grown. On December 19th 1852, I was married to Cynthia P. Dean, who died 15 months later with spinal meningitis. Had a child born dead. This was a new country full of game and fish and good stock range with all the advantages and disadvantages of a new country, but we had good religious parents to teach and train us and as this was the age when parents believed Solomon, that to spare the rod you spoil the child, so the switches did not grow in vain around our place. Many times I had my back striped and sometimes cut with switches trying to make a good boy out of me, and whether it was the best way or not, they thought it was, and I honor them greatly for it. They didn't depend entirely on the rod, for father would try to instruct us and pray for us around the fireside and in the field and so did all the Christian parents. I will say more about this when I get to my religious life. After wife died I went back to father and lived with him a year. I then went with some of our neighbors to West Texas, Bell County. That was frontier country then. We started October 4th 1854, with horse and ox teams for there was no rail roads to travel. A greater trip than now to go to the Philippine Islands. None of us had ever traveled any and the terrible tales told about the mud in the swamps, and robbers, but we traveled on and in just one month we crossed the Mississippi River at Helena, Arkansas. We had to cross the river in hand propelled ferries and had to wait 5 days for our turn to cross. There were five wagons in our bunch, to-wit: C. H. Isham, M. O. Coker, Vol Wilson, Doc and Murt McGuire, Henry Mayfield and myself, all of us single young men who bore our part of the expenses of travel. We all had our guns and there was plenty of game so we had a jolly time hunting along the road. From Helena, Henry Mayfield, my traveling companion and I and the McGuire boys concluded that we would work awhile on the river and then go to Texas by water in the spring. There we found work on a flat boat loaded with hay for New Orleans. The river being so low we had to pull on the oars at every eddy and after we struck the tide water (150 miles above New Orleans) we had to pull all the time.

Bladen County, North Carolina is just due east of York towards the coast. There are some names in the actual 1830/1840 census that I read some years ago as DOVER (Kinchen). I ran into Bladen County while scrolling the Buncombe censuses (same roll). Some interesting other names ... it's confusing and I don't know what to think. I've also not seen any of these Deaver types referenced in Bladen County from the Deaver lists. 1790 LAMB, John 188 01 02 05 00 00 MEMS, David 188 01 01 04 00 00 MEMS, James 188 01 02 02 00 00 MEMS, Shadarach 188 01 01 02 00 00 MEMS, Volentine 188 01 00 01 00 00 SHIPMAN, Daniel 188 03 00 02 00 00 1800 CAMPBELL, Margaret 116 00000-20010-00 YATES, John, esq. 116 00001-00101-09 YATES, John, jun. 116 30010-20010-01 YATES, Luke 116 41010-21010-00 BYRD, Alexander 118 10010-00100-00 WALL, Edward 118 10011-00011-00 MIMS, James 123 12010-31010-00 MIMS, James 123 12010-31010-03 MIMS, David 125 10101-01101-09 SHIPMAN, James 133 31101-21210-03 DAVIS, Hezekiah 139 11100-00010-01 DAVIS, Jemima 139 00100-00201-09 SUGGS, Alligood 158 13010-31001-00 ELLISON, Richard 160 20001-10010-00 DAVIS, Francis 164 01101-11210-06 1810 GUYTON, William 195 SUGGS, Alagood * 200 SUGGS, Alagood * 200 SUGGS, William 207 SUGGS, John 208 SHIPMAN, Daniel 209 DIVER, John 210 DIVES, M. 210 1820 GUYTON, William 126 SHIPMAN, James Jr. 138 SHIPMAN, James Sr. 138 SHIPMAN, Daniel 146 BROOM, John B. 150 DEVERS, Benjamin 162 BROOM, Thomas 166 1830 DOVE, JOHN 58 SAVAGE, JOHN 61 DOVE, DUNCAN 63 DEAVER, ALEXANDER 74 SHIPMAN, DANIEL 78 SHIPMAN, JAMES 78 DEAVER, BENJAMIN 79 HAMMOND, CHARLES 79 DEAVER, ALFRED 81 DEAVER, KINCHEN 82 SHIPMAN, HAYS F. 82 GUYTON, JAMES 85 1840 DEVER, Mary 175 DEVERE, Kinchan 175 DOVE, Archibald 176 BURLESON, Isaac 178 SHIPMAN, William 196 DEVER, Alexandert 198 DEVER, John 198 DEVER, William 198 SHIPMAN, D Aniel 202 SHIPMAN, Hase F. 202 SHIPMAN, James 202

Yes, Who was the person who first brought up the Jesse Green "Autobiography?" I only have a letter summary of the Green family line, and have just heard of the autobiography via this list. Somebody, 'fess up! Also, it would be really helpful if you cousins would answer the questions I sent out around Christmas with the "list." It would be greatly appreciated........g. -----Original Message----- From: Tom & Laura <tom-lauramsn@email.msn.com> To: DOVER-L@rootsweb.com <DOVER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, January 24, 1999 6:28 PM Subject: Fw: [DOVER-L] Jesse Green autobiography >I can't find the Jesse Green autobiography either.
