This reminds me of something. I went into a local LDS FHC a couple of years ago to update my IGI info. Got to talking to the lady about names. She then tells me she is a DOVER. Her family came from England late 1800's to SC then to Utah. For those of us with earlier US roots, several of the Kings Creek lines became Mormons and headed off to Utah.

I have the same wish. However, none of my Williams match your Williams. I do have a HORACE DOVER, s/o ANDREW, s/o WILLIAM ALFRED, s/o HENRY STANFORD, s/o ANDERSON (my line), s/o FRANCIS J. Maybe some of the list can help us. Lou Osborns wrote: > > My family is in Utah.
