I am seeking information on the family of William Groves and Rebecca Moore. William was born in Maryland c. 1769. I do not know the names of his parents, though he had at least two brothers, Joseph and Barnet. Rebecca Moore was born c. 1769. I do not know where, nor do I know the names of her parents. The three Groves brothers all moved to Belmont County, Ohio c. 1800. William and Rebecca had at least eleven children, named below. Rebecca died c. 1831. On 15 March 1835 William married again, to Mary Dickison. William died in 1845. Mary survived him. I do not know how long she lived. Children of William Groves and Rebecca Moore [Order of birth not certain]: 1) Joseph Groves: b. 12 November 1795, probably in Maryland, perhaps in Pennsylvania.

No further information. 9) Nancy Groves: Probably b.c. 1809. Married Matthias Stottler. Belmont County marriage records contain an entry of a wedding between Nancy Groves and Matthias Stotler dated 1 January 1812. Either that marriage date is wrong, or Nancy was born much earlier than 1809. Nancy died c. 1872. No known children. 10) Margaret Groves: b.c. 1809. Married 11 April 1822 to Joseph Ball (1801 - 1854). Margaret died c. 1873. Buried at Salem M.E. Church.

Married 10 December 1829, at Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas County, to Samuel Miller (8 December 1806 - 1 February 1873). Lavina died 2 August 1777. No known children. I am descended from Sarah Groves by way of her son, John Samuel Major. I would really like to fill in information on the other branches of this family.
