Here's the part of the 1934 letter about Lulu and Adolphus (other children mentioned too): Lulu, married Joe Tremby, contractor and builder. Her children's names are, Mary Jane, Ruth, Joe and Charles, who has a son named William Thomas Tremby, now 1934, 3 years of age. They all reside at 1008 Oak St., Chattanooga, Tenn. Adolph C. Dover. Died age 37. At the time of his death he was general manager and treasurer of Charlotte Roof and paving Co., Charlotte, N. C. Died in 1905. He was never married. Some of the people named in the 1934 letter are still alive. Maybe there's a family Bible, photographs, letters, etc. still in someones attic. It's a long story on my end, but a chance encounter in an Arkansas cemetery resulted in receiving a photograph of my 2nd great grandfather. I once thought too much time had passed to find little goodies about our aancestors .... it's NOT true. Good going Randy :-)
Dennis you just mentioned the 1934 letter and their side of the family. Look what I just got. I have replied back to the sender and invited them to join the Dover List! I asked them for further info on their ancestors.

My Great grandfather, William W. Whitice had a sister Mary T. who married a William Dover. The 1870 census for Chattanooga, Tenn. indicates that William Dover was age 40 and head of household. He was a house carpenter (as was my great grandfather) and was born in N. Carolina. His wife Mary was age 23. William and his wife lived at 1600 McCullugh Ave. in Chattanooga, in 1908. They had a daughter Lula and son Adolphus. --------- End forwarded message ---------- ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

I ran across this today at the library. I got a chuckle out of it. Source: Early History of Greene County, IN , pg 44 regarding Highland Township. (the topic is Names of Creeks and Branches) "The Dover Branch was named for its first settler, Neely Dover; and it is said of him that he moved from that house, and left an old hen sitting, changing his location twice during his absence. He finally returned to the first place before the hen had succeeded in hatching out her brood, thereby giving his wife a chance to take care of the chickens." enjoy :)pam
>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.
