Jacob Stover and Sarah I. Boone

Jacob Stover and Sarah I. Boone

Notes for JACOB STOVER:
We find that in 1714 Jacob Stauber was granted land, on Oley Creek, Philadelphia (now Berks County) . It is thought that Jacob moved to Virginia after his wife's death, for we find in Virginia record of one Jacob Stover's sale of land in Augusta County (now Rockingham County), to George Boone of Oley; one tract of 500 acres and another of 1000 acres described as near the end of North Mountain, on a small branch of the Shenandoah, part of 5060 acres laid out for Stover by the Council of Virginia July 1730. In 1738 a wife Margaret Stover signed a deed for land sold by Jacob to another person. Margaret was probably a second wife.

More About JACOB STOVER:
Medical Information: buried Augusta Stone Church NR Staunton Augusta Co. Virginia

Notes for SARAH I. BOONE:
Sarah did not affiliate with the Quakers. It is possible that she died quite young. According to records it is thought Jacob married again and moved to Virginia.

Friends" Meetings in Virginia. My Note: the Stover genforum has a
disagreement about Daniel Stover a listed son of Jacob & Sarah Boone Stover
some believe this Daniel Stover is not related and this would put the
Eisenhower out for this Stover/Boone linage.

Lunenburg CO VA and are from MD.
Franklin CO VA was part of Henry CO VA 1782 - Henry CO was Pittsylvania CO ,
Pitt. CO was Halifax and it was Lunenburg CO 1740s-1750s.
Looks like I tracked down one of the Boone related families and wished the
Copes' could leave a trail like this . May one day find them in Orange
/Augusta and hope to find more in Lunenburg CO VA -signs are there for this
to happen.
David ( The Messenger ) Cope
PS- may have stumbled onto a whole lot of New Castle CO DE families on the

William and Andrew Cope/Coape on the 1782 Montgomery CO VA index and only
found 3 on the listed list on the internet.

I am part of the Stover line that spent more time in PA and from there some of the line move to VA, but you seem to be from the Stovers
that settled early in VA. They aren't related. Mine are from Germany near the swiss border and yours from Switzerland (?) The controversy about the Eisenhower connection still goes on it seems. I spent a great deal of time trying to sort it out many years ago before there was much available on the internet. It became clear to me that our line has a Daniel born in PA and there is another Daniel born in VA. I see many trees now on the internet with an entire family of Stovers born in PA with the one son Daniel born in VA. It is an obvious mix up which goes unnoticed. From what I know the Daniel from VA is the one related to Eisenhower, and those from my line seem so determined to be related to him they Stick the VA Daniel into their trees. So you get both Daniel Boone AND Eisenhower.
