I think this is the new address below? Anyone on the list live close enough to check out the Thomas and Joshua files? One fairly recent rumor is that "somebody" applied for benefits of Joshua Dover about 1851 after he died years earlier. Joshua is like Hezekiah, no known kids and no one has ever claimed him. I've never heard about any of the RS records being available for Joshua from Roane Co., TN when he applied there and the National Archives "search" of old files requires different applications, a lot of time and cost. Anyone who might have applied for benefits like Johnson Dover did for his father Francis J. Dover "would" be in the 1850 census. 5800 Jonesboro Road Morrow, GA 30260 678.364.3700 This one is too easy ... all the known records in one place. It's unbelievable.

Also known as the Warrant files, these manuscripts reflect the various preliminary stages in the granting of headright land. In addition to a few other odd papers, the following types of documents are included in these files: warrants, vouchers, certificates, petitions, and powers of attorney. The files are arranged alphabetically by surname with an individual folder containing all papers relating to any one name regardless of the location of the land. http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/web/pdi/rg003/003-04-005.htm 67 (continued) 8054-16a 1783-1909 (continued) Dover, Joshua Dover, Thomas ==== DOVER Mailing List ==== Take Part in the DOVER DNA Tests http://www.familytreedna.com/index.html http://www.dovertree.com/pages/5/index.htm
