Dennis, I know you think I'm bull-headed and refuse to let things go, but I've told you before how I'm "talked" through things, however cryptically. We have the reference to Fall River. John Dover there in the 1760's. Thomas Dover in Glynn Co., GA was b. ca. 1760-1770. I will assume POB was England. His nephew William Dover Jenkins was b. ca. 1794, England, per the 1850 census. His will mentions his body to be shipped to Freetown, MA to be buried in a new family cemetery he is starting. He's already freed some slaves (1858) and they are already living in Freetown. I found them there in the 1860 census. I've been doing some checking on Freetown. Freetown and Fall River are only 12 miles apart and according to the president of the local historical society, Fall River was originally part of the Freetown community. Have not found any direct references to Dovers but have accumulated a group of links to some background information on the area if you're interested.
