This is in response to one of Gayle's messages. There's an A. E. Dover who was Andrew who was a son of Jeptha Dover from Buncombe. Andrew was born 1827/8. He was married to Mahilda/ Matilda. The CSA records show two different (I believe) A. E. Dover's, both in sister companies. I think they are different because of the rank, but the quick promotion is possible in the Dover family (right Randy and Bobby?). A. E. Dover Co. E, 60 Georgia Infantry Sgt/1st Lt. A. E. Dover Co.

I remember there is a relationship with the Lovelady family somewhere, as well as a Raymond who was a cousin of my grandfathers around Chattanooga. It is interesting that Joe T. Dearing was a pallbearer. You probably recall that Dearing was my widowed name. This Joe is most certainly one of my late husbands [Who is also buried in Forest Hills] There were so few of the Dearings- spelled with the "a." Have you gone in to the Roots web archives to see the previous postings of the Dover list yet? The stuff listed below might interest you. Oh, do you have anything to indicate that Aunt Julie Bird was married before? I have some interesting things there, but I can't find it. When you get a chance to send me Aunt Mary's children's info I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a bunch. Your cousin G. aka- "gaelcee" MISC. DOVER INFO AND OTHER SOURCES FOR MORE CONFUSION ---------- >From Vol. 6 of the "Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia- 1861-1865" Co. A, 65th Regiment Ga. Volunteer Infantry Army of Tenn. - Gilmer and Pickens Counties, Ga. "Gilmer Light Guards" [This would be the Chatsworth area] pg.577 Dover, Thomas, private in Inf. Battn. Smith's Legion Ga. Vols. May 15, 1862. Captured. Paroled at Danville, Ky. Oct. 15, 1862. Deserted Oct. 1862. Transferred to Co. A. 65th Regt. Ga. Inf. Mar.1863. Rejoined from desertion June 24, 1863. Deserted Aug. 14, 1863. Rejoined from desertion Nov.20, 1863. Deserted Nov. 27, 1863. Rejoined froom desertion Jan. 10, 1864. Deserted Etowah, Ga. May 14, 1864. Rejoined. Deserted to the enemy at Cartersville, Ga. May 22, 1864. Applied to take the oath of allegiance to the US government and to be allowed to remain north of the Ohio River. Took oarth of allegiance to US gov't at Chattanooga, Tn. May 27, 1864. Assuming that he actually went north of the Ohio river, this would not be our Tommy. Since our Tommy/Thomas was always shown with the middle initial "C" I feel certain that the Thomas C. Dover who was wounded at Chancellorsville, Va. May 3, 1863 -captured, etc. and took the oath of allegiance at Knoxville, was ours. This Thomas C. was in Co. E 18th Regiment Ga. Volunteer Inf. from Gordon Co. which is the Calhoun area. That would correlate with what else we know about their location. I remember that he was supposed to have been "wounded" and thought dead for a long while. Two known brothers of Tommy C.- James E. and Samuel Zachery were in Co. E 60th Regiment- Ga. Vol. Inf. from Whitfield Co.[Dalton Area] One thing to note here is that the Volume that gives the info about James only says he was wounded and sent to a hospital in Columbia SC. It doesn't say that he died as we have all been told. Do you have anything on that? [ Also, Dennis, did you know who the "A.E. Dover" who was also in this company was? There are 5 other Thomas's listed and a Thomas G. and a Thomas Jefferson Dover, plus 3 -T.E.Dovers that I have yet to check out. Dennis, do you know which of the S.A./Samuel G./S.Z. and the 2 - S.D. Dovers belong to?] in Vol. 5,pg.509, in contrast to the "E.B. [or E.V.] that I posted earlier, is the following: "Dover, Edmund B., Private Feb. 12, 1862. Roll for Dec. 31,1863, last on file, shjows him absent without leave since Sept. 20, 1863. Pension records show he was 'discharged near Athens, Ga. close of war.' (Born in Loudsville, Ga. Mar.25, 1827) [I don't know of a Loudsville, but there is a Ludville that is east of Calhoun -probably Pickens Co. Athens- Clarke Co.- is very near Gwinnett Co.] from THE GEORGIA GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE- April 1962, pg. 23/24 and pg179/180 also noted, from Chatham co. [Savannah area] among the "registrants of the 1805 land lottery was THOMAS DOVER." It was interesting to me that since the French ending eaux is an "R" sound , that just below his name was "John B. Deveaux." I've done some checking on the Deveaux family name, but nothing conclusive. In a book of Ship Passenger Lists in the South -1538-1825- is a Wm. Deveraux from 1838. But this is not as close as Deveaux. [Of course, I am still stuck on the idea of Francois Defour being a Dover because I can't find Francois Defour anyplace after he appears as taking an oath in Amelia Township, Berkley Co. SC. 8 June 1775. This was on a pg where John Fondren bought land on the east side of the Broad River /Kings Creek , etc. from JOHN DOVER, of Craven Co. SC. This Francois Defour critter is not on the SC 1790 census. Does anyone know when Francis first shows up "recorded" anyplace? As opposed to someone giving sworn testimony, per DAR, etc.?] from SOME GEORGIA COUNTY RECORDS VOL I, PG. 243 "PAGES 481-482, March 30, 1798, Thomas Young of City of Savannah, Gentlemen, to Henry Hardin of Warren Co., planter, for $1500, land granted to sd.

Pg. 89 shows same, but mustered at Quarter House, SC 24 Oct. 1781. I noted that On the same page begins the Muster list of Captain Archibald Campbell, Dorchester SC. and wondered if he was any relation to Susan Campbell, married to Samuel Dover. from DAR PATRIOT INDEX CENTENNIAL EDITION PART I pg. 866, "DOVER: Francis J.: b.6-28-1760 NC d 12-13-1851 Ga. m. Mary Mullenax Pvt NC John: b. 1755 PA d 3-18-1821 Pa m (1) Mary Nice (2) Letitia Steward Lt. PA, PNSR from SOME GEORGIA COUNTY RECORDS, VOL.7 , pg. 285, We see according to the 1820 Habersham Co. Ga. Census - Anderson and Francis living side by side, with Johnson, one of Francis' sons a few "doors" down. Although Anderson was a resident in Habersham, he drew land in "Lee" county in the 1827 lottery. Also, in that same lottery Francis drew land in Muscogee Co. This goes on to same that Francis was a soldier in the Revolution from SOUTH Carolina. I am confused as to what qualified Anderson to draw land? Also, did any Dovers go to Lee or Muscogee Counties? In my visit to Glynn Co. I discovered no listings for the name Dover. There was however, a listing for a "Doverspike Station" whatever that is. Also, in a book of "Common Jewish Names" are the following : " DOUER - Arabic meaning 'peddler' Dov, Dover, Dower, Duber, Dovravshi " In the SC 1790 Federal Census, York Co. Zeph Dover indicates one male over age 16/one under and there are 7 females. John Dover lists 1 male over age 16, and 5 under 16. There are 5 females listed with him. James Dover has 1 male over 16 listed, 1 male under 16, and only one female. in Greenville Co. Joshua Dover is listed with 3 males under 16 and 2 females. In York Co. for 1850, Robert Dover is on pg. 206. Shadarick Dover is on pg. 244.[He is shown probably as Shadock on the 1840, and Shaderick on the 1830 -where he first appears.] Elizabeth Dover appears on pg.249. John , Asa and Zeph Dover appear on Pg.280.[I think this is probably Zeph "jr." from the 1830 census. There is a Zephaniah on each census since 1790, except for 1840, yet both Jr. and Sr. are on the 1830 census] James [ on 1830/1840 census] and Nathanial [only on 1850] appear on page 282. Elijah, another John,[John Dover first appears on the 1790 on the same page as Jason Dover who never shows up in York again. John appears on the 1810,1830 and 1840 census, but not on the 1820]and a Martha, appear on pg. 284.[Elijah appears on each York Census from 1800]Mahala appears on pg. 285.[It is interesting that Martha and Mahala are only on the 1850 census] James "M." Dover and Martin Dover are on pg. 287. [Martin shows up first in 1840 at the same time Morgan Dover appears, but Morgan doesn't show on other York Co. Census] Thomas C. is on page 290- closer to James M. and Martin than others. Chris, This can't be our Tommy C. of course, because Tommy C. was born in 1839. It could of course be Samuel's brother. The fact that we find a Thomas C. early and the later one generally recognized as "Tommy" C. seems to indicate that they were trying to differentiate between the two. It can't be our Tommy's dad, because it is already established from various census, etc. that our Tommy C. is the son of Samuel and Susan. One other note: Hardaway Youngblood was placed in the guardianship of Samuel Dover in Gwinnett Co.in March of 1832. He would have been around 13 years old. This was after the time that Susan and Samuel already had children-namely Martha C. and Matilda E.(Note the Martha from the 1850 York census- Grandmother perhaps?-) . Hardaway was also one of the soldiers at age 19, who helped with the Cherokee removal. This makes me think of a quote of Bill Cosby's,[I think it was] "Good Heavens, what made all this mess? -A Man came in here and done it. -What man? Will you please tell me how he got in here? -He came through the window. -Window? There's no window in this room! - He brought it with him." Hope some of this helps turn over another rock or two or more.
