Pam, My mind comes up blank. I remember the Neely name, but want to say it was on a WFT listing. If you don't have access to those, will look it up when I get a chance. The Joshua name of course peaks my curiousity, because of the Joshua Dover b. 1753 on Haw River in NC who was a Rev Sol. Unfortunately, Joshua has been one of those elusive Dover. We have a copy of his file which should be a map as to where he was, but the records don't seem to be found to give us any kind of real data on him. He had kids, that's for sure. He was in NC & SC so his kids could show up with either birthplace. He was in SC at the time of his enlistment. We can't even seem to find census records on him. Yesterday, Dennis was asking for my response to a possible father of Lawson. I've thought about that a lot today. There are things I think possible, but I'm still torn by the fact that there is still so much that we don't know, to be really sure of some of these people. Do I think he is the son of Francis J Dover? I don't really think so with the known data as we have it. I agree with Dennis that FJD and Hez were not the only children in their family. These Dover men were too prolific for that unless they died at an early age. :-) Joshua is too close to home for any FJD researcher not to consider in the equation of family. Joshua may also tie up some of the loose ends in TN KY and that direction. It's just going to take more digging. Roan Co, TN marriage records show: Richard Dover/Dica Rice 13 July 1812 Joshua Dover/Patsy Rice 10 Sept 1813 This is the only Dica Dover that I remember seeing. Sorry I can't be of more help. Will keep my eyes open for you. Sharon S
