Hi Dawn; WOW...that is a lot of information in a very short period of time...THANKS!!! From my research, I also know that it is very accurate. Horace Grover and my GGrandfather, Orin(Oran, Orrin) were brothers and both were born in Barre, Genesee, NY. I already have copies of the documents you mentioned. Luke Grover was actually Mina Town supervisor in 1850, 1856, 1857 and again in 1877...the year he died. I am primarily looking now for an Obit or cemetery records that indicate where he is buried (Mina?). I am not subscribed to ancestry.com, but is it possible to email me the "extensive family tree" that you mentioned??? Thank you again for your very kind response!!! God Bless... George G.

If you can be a bit patient with me, George, I'll pull some stuff together from that family tree and email it to you offlist. I live not all that far from Mina. I'll see if I can come up with some grave records for you. I did find these listed in Mina Corners Cemetery, so perhaps Luke is there but not "inventoried."

I've got photos of my own to take in Clymer, not all that far from Mina. :o) Now that I've done some searching and seen Luke's portrait, I'm vested. :o) Dawn
