The 1900 Washington Township of Monroe County, Indiana census shows Wilford A. Dover single b Mar 1875 living with his half brother James M. Polly b Apr 1859. Can't find a thing in 1910 showing James or his father. One of my great grandfather's sisters married Dudley Benjamin Bentley January 23, 1879 in Greene Co., AR. He appears to have been born in Alabama. Georgia Ann Dover then married a Dollahite four years later. For Pam, Jack and Earnest, I don't get commissions on DNA tests so believe me when I say those tests are priceless for the results. I could take a wild guess on Earnest's, have sort of a feeling about Pam and curious beyond belief about Jack. There's no way to describe the feeling about knowing you're not alone in the search for your ancestors and suddenly find descendants all around you even when or if the DNA proves things beyond research clues or hunches. Coincidences sometimes become fact at the same time, even in what seems to be congested areas in that small area of southeast Missouri and northeast Arkansas. I got a little stressed when it was suggested by someone that certain Dover DNA groups split off on their own. Dover-L IS the common ground whether DNA includes or excludes some Dover lines. My reaction was why split off when you don't know where you fit DNA wise. So many great people on this list who have helped "all" of us. I'll keep looking for 1910.

James Dover and/or Wilford are not in their home. 1910 Bloomington, Monroe Co., IN microfilm page: 67A Ancestry.com: 1910 1-Wd Bloomington, Monroe Co., IN (image 29) Am still trying to locate Isaac Dover. Ancestry's links are not matching their index. James Polley's index was linked to image 23. When I went to look at Isaac Dover I got James Polley. Time for my shot and a sandwich now so I'll look some more in a few minutes. Terry Pami54@aol.com wrote: >I am in need of some assistance. I've not worked much in Arkansas.
