Sherod Dover was probably from NC. His first wife, the mother of his only child Eliza Ann, is unknown. (Eliza was probably born about 1833) On 27 Jan 1834, Sherod J married 2nd wife Frances Hammonds in Marengo CO ALA and in 1834 moved to the Bastrop TX area. Sherod became a member of Captain Coleman's company composed of Bastrop CO area men. It has been passed down in some stories that he was killed during the Battle of the Alamo. While it's true that he was killed at Bexar, it was probably just before the Siege of Bexar when immigrant settlers and a group of Tejanos fought for and took control of the Alamo. That 5 day battle was in Dec 1835. Sherod J Dover was shot in the back and killed by a soldier from his own company in November 1835...the next morning, men from his company killed the man who had shot him. t\The Battle for the Alamo (the one with Crockett, Bowie and Travis... was a 13 day battle ending March 6, 1836. Eliza Ann Dover was his only child and so his Dover named line ended with her. bj
