Louise Looks like there was a Henry R. VANOVER who was either a JP or a minister in Ashe Co. during the Mid 1800s... I've come across the name several times as having performed marriages there at that time frame. I also found a reference that Cornelius VANOVER married Abby EASTERD on 20 January 1778, and it says that his father's name was also Cornelius. It does give his birth place as being Somerset Co. NJ. (Source Gene Pool Individual Records). I was also able to fill in the record for William VANOVER for you down below. From: Documents Relating to the Colonial History of the State of New Jersey Vol22 pg 239 Mattox, Abigail, and Cornelius Vanover, Hardwick Co. NJ 1778 Jan. 20 Finally, in 1777 the estate of one Henry VanOver was inventoried in NJ. VanOver, Henry, 252S. B. 16, p. 509. Int. 1777. Inv. 1777. Translated....B= Bergen Co., page 509 he died Intestate and his estate was inventoried the same year. the #16 gives the range of years... 1772 - 1779 (Source:Carter, David S. State of New Jersey Index of Wills, Inventories, Etc.1913) I'me sure you already have all of this...but I hope some of it helps. Oh...I not related nor do I have the names in my line...just thought I'd help if I could with some look ups for ya.

He probably married in western North Carolina. He married Abby Easterd who who was born 1760-1770. She is said to have been Cherokee. Several Eastern Cherokee Applications of Catherine Vanover) Perry's descendants state that Abby Easterd was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian. Catherine Vanover; married Richard Perry. Henry Vanover; married (1 ) name not learned and (2) Jane Austin. I am looking for Henry's first wife, all I have found is Le Ly---------- Elijah Vanover; married and moved to Morgan Mary Vanover; married Stephen Osborne. Cornelius Vanover; married Sarah Hill. Daniel Vanover; married Nancy Collins. William Vanover. married Susanna White in 1797 he died Oct 1867 at Cutshin, Perry Co, KY, Looiking for any information on Abby Easterd !!!! Many Vanovers live in Dickenson and Wise Co. Va. Letcher Co. KY and Ashe Co. NC. Thank you Louise Vanover Vore
