Surnames: Conover Roy Cravens Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XBB.2ACE/1749.2 Message Board Post: I recently got pension files for Hiram J. Conover who was one of Levi and Mary's sons and got a lot of information. Hiram Conover died at Huff's Ferry, TN in my ggg-grandfather William Henry Conover's arms after being shot by a sniper, and Levi filed for a pension on him after the war. Levi and Mary were married at Hiram Cravens' house by Harrison Absher on Feb 27, 1840. I am assuming that Mary's father is Hiram Cravens, especially given the namesake. I'm not sure if any of this stuff tells where her parents were born, but I will let you know if I find it. I am in the process of transcribing all the papers into Word. Levi and Mary are both buried at the Perryman Cemetery, and both have stones. According to the pension files, Mary was born 1816 and died Sep 8, 1887 from failure and congestion of the brain. All of their children have stones standing except for Nancy Conover-Roy. She is listed as being buried at the Perryman Cemetery, but she definitely doesn't have a ! stone. I know for a fact that her husband Silas Roy is buried at the Freedom Church (Christian) on Freedom Church Road. I have seen his stone and it is marked with his military reg., 13th KY INF Co. B.
