The information, on my grantfather father,is from the "LDS" files, U.S. Census, and World Connect. Com.. At the time of his birth, in 1879, David Marcellus Grove, had three reasons, to be name David. His mothers father, as well her grandfather, were name David. Also there was, his father, who I belive was, David Thomas Grove, aka David Thomas Price. He was born, in Marksville, in 1855, a year before Martha Gertrude Strickler. So they grow , in the same town. Also David Thomas Grove, father name was Isaac Grove. As you remember, David Marcellus Grove, name on the 1880 census, was David I. Grove. His first name at birth, would have been, David Isaac Grove. His grandmother maiden name was, Elizabeth Price. The same name as, my grandmother Barbara Elizabeth Yager. I have not resarch yet, to see if these two Price families, are one and same, will do that soon. Both David Thomas Grove, and his mother Elizabeth Price, both die, within a few weeks, of each other, in 1885, in the town of Leaksville, also in Page County, Va..
