Weber I, too, am interested in the STOVER/STOBER family that resided in Antrim township, although they are not my direct line. Probably the earliest of this surname in the area that I know of, was Wilhelm (William) born in 1726. He was the son of Valentine STOBER and resided early on in Lancaster county. There, he married Anna Margaretha SUSS in 1746. They had at least two children, Johan Georg, born 1747; and William, born 1749. This family moved into Antrim township probably in the early 1750s. It was then Cumberland county, but later became Franklin county. William Stover was mentioned in the estate papers of Christopher Seize (Suss) -- his brother-in-law and my 6GG -- as having adjoining land in Antrim Township, Cumberland county, PA, abt. 1770.. I see that in the 1790 Census for Franklin county, there were the following STOVERS listed: Daniel, Emanuel, George, Jacob, Michael, William Jr. and William Sr. This is likely the same family. I would enjoy hearing from you, Richard, as well as anyone else descended from this family.
