On the same page above this entry is a lease and release, "proved by the oath of Francois Defour ..........." could this be FRANCIS DOVER? - from the South Carolina Immigrants 1760-1770 it seems that the Congaree River was to be the boundary between the English speaking settlements on the north side and the French and german speaking settlements on the south. Later settlers from Ireland were also placed among the French settlers in the upper Sanannah River Valley. It also seems that the "poor protestants" were required to bring with them a certificate of good character signed by their minister or local court officials.

Henry Harrison Clark, pg. Excerpts pg42 "W. Dooly came to the county in 1832. Martin Camp, Simpson Dover, Thomas Bryant, Henry Martin, and perhaps one or two other who had married his daughters came with him. He had a single daughter, Miss Nancy. James Martin came to the county in 1834 and married her. In 1836 Dooly and his two sons and henry and James Martin moved to Arkansas. In 1838 they all moved back. " pg. 44, "Robert and Jesse Cross, brothers, in 1832, settled at or near Woodstation. In 1835 Robert Cross sold out to Woods and purchased the place that Robert Magill lived, 5 miles north of Ringgold. After a couple of years sold it back to Robert Magill. Cross then moved to Wood station and died about 1841. He was the Representative from Walker County for one session of the legislature and a prety shrewd man. Jessee Cross cared nothing for an overgown fortune and kept a pack of bear dogs. Long after all the bears, panthers, wild cats, and catamounts had emigrated from this sectin he still carried his gun and gogs wherever he went. About 1845 he leased lands in Houston Valley from Dick Cruce. He was still expecting to met a bear when he left Georgia. Like other hunters, he never amassed a great fortune. " pg. 48, " Littleberry Hendrix was an early settler and lived a half mile south of Trickum. He was a little old man and very violent in his feelings and language. Someone hired a horse to Dover to make a crop with. they fell out and when Dover returned the horse, he would not let the horse go into his lot until the negroes washed him with soap and warm water to get the Dover scent off of the horse. Hendrix died in 1839 or 1840." pg. 56 "Larkin Goodson came in 1841 and married a daughter of Simpson Dover. After four or five years he moved to Alabama." I think this is enough to go over for now. gaelcee - ------------------------------ End of DOVER-D Digest V98 Issue #21 ***********************************
