Here's what I have on Jason A. Dover, son of Frederick and Margaret (Buncombe, Rabun, Buncombe, Gilmer) (from Ancestry, FTW, and personal research): In 1850, Jason A. Dover was in Buncombe County, NC. He was 27 years old. He had two children, a son Hilary I. age 7, and a daughter, Martha M. age 4. Also in the household was his wife Penny Dover, age 38. Since the name Penny has been ascribed to Jeptha as his wife, as has the Ledford and Scroggs wives of Jason, it may be that it was Jason who married a Penny and NOT Jeptha. Jason Dover was in Gilmer County, Georgia in 1860 (Subdivision 33). He was 38 and farming and born in NC. "Perry" Dover, a female is 43 (should be Penny). Hilery J. is 14, and Martha M. is 12. Jason served with his brothers and cousins in Company F, 60th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Army of Northern Virginia. 1st Sergeant: A.E. Dover; Bailey Dover, D. H. Dover, David M. Dover, Dillen Dover, H. J. Dover (son of Jason), J.A. (Jason) Dover, and James Dover. In 1870, Jason was back in North Carolina, at Hayesville, Clay County. He is 52 years old and farming. Wife Penny is 59 years old. Their daughter Martha, age 23 was still at home. Martha M. Dover m. J. J. Curtis October 26, 1871, R. G. Ketron; grooms father was A. W. Curtis; bride's father was J.A. Dover, Hayesville. Sometime between mid 1870 and 1874, Penny Dover passed away. On November 15, 1874, J.A. Dover married Malinda Ledford in Clay County, NC. Between November 15, 1874 and 1880, Malinda passed away. In 1880, Jason A. Dover was living at Hayesville in Clay County, NC. He was 50 years old and a widower. He was a cabinet maker and was living alone. J. A. Dover and Elizabeth Scroggs were married September 19, 1880, R. G. Ketron, Clay County Marriage register; parents: Frederic and Margaret Dover; David and Mariah Scroggs, David Scroggses resident. Between 1880 and 1895, Elizabeth apparently passed away. In White County, a J.A. Dover married Sallie Allen Mar 14, 1895 B216. In 1900, Jason A. Dover (indexed as Daver), age 77, a farmer, was living at Mossy Creek in White County. He states he has been married for 53 years. His wife, Sarah A. says she was born in May of 1837 and has been married 53 years also (that would make her marrying at age 10, so she must have been born earlier). The census doesn't ask how long they were married to "each other" just how long they were married. Jason states he was born in North Carolina and that both Frederick and Margaret were born in SC. Jason Dover died July 1, 1903 and is buried at Mossy Creek United Methodist Church in White County, Ga. In 1910, Sarah Ann Dover, age 70 (b. 1830) is listed as an Aunt living with Mary and Perry Humphries in White County. Georgia Bible records show Jason A. Dover was married December 9, 1841. Jason A. Dover was born February 17, 1823; Hillery J. Dover was born October 23, 1843; Emily Malinda Dover was born March 10, 1844 (died before 1850); Martha Dover was born September 1, 1846; Mary Caroline Dover was born February 9, 1851; and Clearsa E. Scroggs was born July 30, 1850 (third wife's daughter). Marjorie Dover Stansel
