VA. Believe him to have been born in 1879 of VA parents. May have had a twin and did not show on 1880 census. Family had to be kin to Glovers from Appomattox Co. Also tied in with Austin (black) in 1880 in Appomattox Co. Samuel in 1900 Buckingham Co. apprenticing with Austin??? Found one family in Buckingham 1880 with son Adolphus born abt 1879. Both Adolphus and Samuel in Appomattox Co. Census 1900 but living in different parts of the city. Samuel was apprenticing as blacksmith which he died at abt 1963. Too much coincidence. Any help from look-ups greatly appreciated. Family secrets were that he was a twin and his parents died and left him and brother to survive. Also word "Black Dutch" was part of tradition. How he got to Bradenton, FL at age 24 also a mystery unless he was on the run.
