    1. Jesse Dover, b. March 1854, son of Jarrard Nelson Dover
    2. Here's what I have on Jesse Dover, son of Jarrard Nelson Dover. He was born March 1854. He married SUSAN (I don't know her last name). She was born March 22, 1856, and died October 03, 1916 in Habersham County, GA. In 1880, Jesse was 23 years old, farming in Habersham County, GA. His wife Susan was 24, and one son, Willie was 4. E. N. Ivester sells property to Jesse Dover, 7/18/1891, deed recorded 4/7/1892, Deed Book J 67. In 1900, Jesse Dover, age 46, was a farmer at Deep Creek in Habersham County. Wife Susan was 44, born March 1856. They had been married 23 years. Susan had 7 children and 7 were living. William P. was born December 1876 and was 23 years old, Dewey was born May 1882, Omar was born December 1883, Ida was born May 1886, Belle was born December 1888, Lester was born May 1892, and Cap was born July 1895. In 1910, Jesse Dover was living at Deep Creek still. He states he is 60 years old. Jesse is a manager of a sawmill. His wife Susan is 58. They both have been married once for 35 years. Susan had seven children and seven are living. The only two at home are: Lester 16 (listed as a daughter), and Cap 14, a son. Near door to him is an Omar Dover, 24, (Jesse's son), and his wife Roxie, age 22. They have been married 5 years, have had 3 children and 2 are living: Lethie, a daughter, is 4, and Annie is 10 months old. An Ida Invester is next door, and this may be his daughter also. On October 3, 1916, Susan Dover passed away. She is buried at Ebenezer Methodist Church. In 1920, Jesse was living at Deep Creek as Jessie Dover he was 60 years old and a farmer. His son Omar and his family is living with them. The census taker wrote wife and then marked it out so it's difficult to read, but Omar is a male. His wife Roxie (same as last census) is now 29, Leathie, fem., 13, Inez is 8, Birdie is 6, Lonnie is 4 years 1 month, and Gladys is 1 year and 4 months. Annie apparently died. His next door neighbor is 74 year old William Fry. In 1930, Jesse was living at Deep Creek next to Dewey A. Dover. He is 83 and a farmer. Living with him was 41 year old Belle Ivester, his daughter. Her daughters Ella Mae 15, and Eugenia 13, Annie L. 9, Lewis 7, and Dorothy 5 and several months are living with them. On April 16, 1939, Jesse Dover passed away (under name Jessie). If he is buried at Ebenezer Methodist Church with wife Susan, no tombstone exists. Marjorie Dover Stansel
