George Stover, s/o Obediah Stover and Massea Stanley was md to Jane Short. According to the Smith/Riffe papers, her parents were Cornelius Short and Mourning Stanley. Can anyone verify this? Who were Cornelius Short and Mourning Stanley?. Could Mourning Stanley be related to Massea Stanley, George's mother? And, how were they related? Thank you, Gracie P.S. Obediah Stover and Massea Stanley are mine and Mike's direct line.
