In a post dated 1-24-99 Dennis Dover related the information from Jesse Green's autobiography. Jesse Green was a descendant of Francis J Dover through his son Anderson Dover. In this document, Jesse Green names the sons of FJD as: Johnson, Nelson, Benson, Anderson, Simpson, and Thompson. I have noted that in the last couple of years that some are now listing Michael as a son of Francis J Dover. Does anyone have any documentation of that? Through my own research of trying to find my own place in the FJD line, I believe there is an awful lot of circumstantial evidence that would suggest that Michael is the son of Hezekiah Dover, rather than FJD. In 1819 York Co, SC there is court documentation where Hezekiah and Michael were involved in an altercation with Manning Martin. Hezekiah appears on 1820 York Co. census. Michael is not listed on the 1820 census, but would fit by age in the household of Hezekiah. Both are again found together on 1830 Rutherford Co, NC census. Between 1830-1840 Hezekiah and Michael make the move to Habersham Co, GA, where looks like Michael must have just passed through as he was also listed in another GA county. Francis J Dover had left the Kings Creek area before 1800 and was in Pendleton Co,SC 1800 & 1810 Census. He relocated to Habersham Co, GA prior to 1820. Francis had a rather unique naming pattern going with his boys it seems. Their names all ended with "son" which would make Michael the odd name in a line up of kids. These are only my own theories and ideas. I have nothing to prove or disprove it at this point. I'm certainly open to new ideas. Would appreciate hearing from any of the Michael Dover descendants on this. Perhaps you have something that I haven't run across yet. Has anyone put together a list of children for Hezekiah Dover?
