    1. Re: [GAJEFFER] GLOVER Family - Jefferson County, GA
    2. Meloney: Actually, the paper was not found at a Glover residence. My husband's elderly uncle married a Gracie Glover (don't know her maiden name). She was a widow, I think. The uncle's name was Olin Dixon and lived in Glascock County, GA. Gracie died in 1973. The house has pretty much remained the same since she died. You wouldn't believe the dust, dirt, rat droppings, etc. Two old uncles lived in the house together; both are now dead. Neither had any children. We have been clearing papers, etc., and just happened to run across some things pertaining to Glovers. We have been in contact with Gracie's daughter in Wrens, GA who has expressed an interest in some of her mother's things. We also found some old tintype pictures which we plan to give to the daughter. If I can figure out my scanner, I will be glad to send you copies of what we found. Since my husband and I are into "history", we felt it would be a shame to just throw away all this old scrap of paper. We wanted to share even though they don't pertain to the Dixon family. As a side note, the Dixon house where Gracie and Olin lived was built in 1860. (I think they were married no more than three years when Gracie died.....it was a shame because this was the first marriage for Uncle Olin). The original one room house (more crude rooms were added) is made of square logs. We hope to be able to preserve the house or at least prevent it from being torn down. The Dixons have owned it since it was built and we hope to keep it in the family. My husband and brother are hoping to purchase it. The Joe Dixon line passes through to our son and grandson. There will be no other Joe Dixon (male) descendents. Diane
