    1. Grove Family
    2. Someone was looking at one time for the surname Grove. I found this while reading through "The History of the Counties of Dauphin and Lebanon in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania", by William Henry Egle, 1883. Page 241, History of Lebanon County, Genealogical History: The Grove Family. I. Peter Grove, the ancestor of the family in Lebanon County, was a native of Switzerland, where he was born in 1724. He was an infant when he was brought to America, and until about the year 1750 resided near Lancaster. That year he located in Bethel township, now Lebanon County, where he lived until his death, in 1803. The dwelling he erected over a century ago is yet standing, and in the ownership of his grandchildren. His Children were: i. Jacob. ii. Peter. 2. iii. John. iv. Anna Barbara. v. Maria. vi. Veronica. II. John Grove (Peter), b. in 1768, in Bethel township, Lancaster, now Lebanon Co., Pa; d. in 1835, in Bethel township; m. Anna Elizabeth Wenner, b. 1785, in Berks County, Pa.; d. 1847, in Bethel twp., Lebanon Co., Pa. They had issue: i. John Peter. ii. John. iii. Jacob Wenner, b. 1816; m.
