> You say Sarah Stover d/o Obediah, was she married, or singel at the time? > Hi; The 1860 and the 1870 Raleigh Co censuses lists Sarah as a spinster. In 1850, Sarah is living with Massea Stover (wife of Obediah Stover) So Sarah was the daughter of Obediah Stover and Massea Standley. And she was still unmarried in 1870. > Would Obediah be the brother to Linville's father or was Sarah married to > that brother? I beleive that Linville, who md Margaret J Kincaid and his brother Ashford were the sons of William Stover and Elizabeth Wriston. William Stover was the son of Obediah, according to William's death record in 1857. Obediah died before 1840. But, I can't prove yet that Linville and Ashford were children of William Stover and Elizabeth Wriston,,, > Trying to make sense of it too. I have been trying to make sense of it for a long time,. These Stovers are hard... I really NEED to find either Ashford or Linville, where and when they died to get the proof I need... :( > > I am very interested in the Davis (Nancy d/o Samuel) is all I know about her. Unfortunately that's all I have on her, just her name.. I didn't even know her father was Samuel.... Do you have anything on what happened to Margaret J.Kincaid, perhaps if I could find her, I can get an idea of when her husband Linville died, Gracie > > and Levi L.
