Bailey Dover of old is like DNA Max Dover and others of today. They were/are in the eye of a hurricane and they should be followed closely :-) Terry, here's the 1830 and 1840 census for Bailey Dover. The first known deed of purchase by Bailey Dover was Lot 96 in the 5th District of Rabun County 1/1/1825. He was in Buncombe County, North Carolina in 1820. He did own a lot of property in Rabun Co. over the years. The deeds you posted along with Sharon's that show Dover's on lots 52, 53 and 54 have me intrigued. This is NOT fact, but looking at the land lot maps for both Rabun County and the above lots in Habersham County seem to place Bailey Dover on lot 96 in Rabun County just 3.7 miles from Lots 52-53-54 in Habersham County. The lots in Habersham County are east of Batesville and near a place called Unicoi? Lake that doesn't seem to exist on USGS maps. Does this mean anything ... maybe today's DNA proves something they didn't know. 1830 Rabun County, Georgia M19-20 Enumerated November 9, 1830 Page 222 Bailey Dover 30-40 [1790-1800] 0000100000000-0000010000000 Female 40-50 [1780-1790] 1840 Rabun County, Georgia M704-49 509th District Page 212A Frederick Dover 30-40 [1800-1810] 1302010000000-0101010000000 Female 30-40 [1800-1810] Female 40-50 [1790-1800] Female 20-30 [1810-1820] Male 15-20 [1820-1825] Male 15-20 [1820-1825] Male 05-10 [1830-1835] Male 05-10 [1830-1835] Male -5 [1835-1840] Notice the older females this census.

I still suspect that this is Frederick & Margaret Dover from Buncombe Co., NC in the 1830 census next door to Jeptha Dover, John Dover and Elijah Dover. If so, this is the family line that has a perfect DNA match with the family of Francis J. Dover.

If so, his age is off and he did go to/return to Buncombe Co., NC by 1850 as did Frederick and Margaret Dover. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Jackson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2004 7:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dover] Barbary Dover Indexed as Barbary Dover.
