Finally a little more on Sam's family. Samuel has been a focus for several years. Sam was born in three states and either died of measles or deserted. Sam was in Carroll County, Georgia in 1850 and 1860. I can't figure out any clue on his parents. S. G. Dover, Pvt., Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Company G, 41st Regiment (Carroll County). Entered service March 4, 1862, died of measles at Chattanooga on November 13, 1862. Georgia Confederate Roster, Volume 4, page 478. Physical description: 5'-6", dark hair and complexion, gray eyes. The CSA records indicate a North Carolina birthplace. Married December 6, 1849? Emila Shackelford was present at the wedding. Figuring out these deed name associations may link up his parents: Carroll County, Georgia Deed Book G, Page 611 December 26, 1854 Jacob Gilbert to Samuel G.

I was looking through some pages I copied from the book, DOUGLAS COUNTY GEORGIA WHO WAS WHO, VOL. 1 and noticed some Dover info on one of the pages. Actually I also copied the index and I now see there were 3 pages that had Dover info but only one of the pages I copied had any on it. ( Some of my Carroll Co. GA relatives ended up over in Douglas Co. when it was created from Carroll Co. GA in 1870.) Just in case you don't have it, I thought I would send it to you. DOUGLAS COUNTY GEORGIA, WHO WAS WHO, VOL. 1 by Joe Baggett p.83: "DOVER. J.H. , 1857-1942, is buried at Powell Chapel Cemetary with wife Julia, 1872-1895. In 1900, John Dover, widower, lived in the Fairplay district of Douglas Co. with daughter Myrtie L. born 1892, and sister Julia a., born 1869. Their brother Frank Dover, born 1856, lived near Bill Arp in 1880 with wife Polly and son Samuel. John, Julia, and Frank were children of Sarah Ann Dover, born about 1827, her parents born in Virginia (maiden name Shackelford) whose husband Samuel G., born in SC in 1829, died in a Chattanooga hospital of measles in November or December of 1862 serving in a Carroll Co. unit in the Civil War. Sarah lived near Fairplay, filing a Confederate widow's pension in 1919." Hope this helps out. By the way, I noticed a lot of Dover names when I was researching in Cherokee Co. TX lately. Take care.
