This doesn't indicate if one of these Stover's went south or not. Contact Lori if
interested. I don't know more more.

Does anyone have any information on Jacob Stover? Was he related to
William Stover that settled in Franklin Co. PA?

Houston, TX
from Central Pennsylvania Biographical Record, p. 150
The first to come to that beautiful and fertile region [Centre Co. PA] was
Jacob Stover, Sr., our subjects great-great-grandfather, a Huguenot, who
was born, about 1715, in Alsace-Lorraine, France, and came to America with
many of his faith to settle in Lyken's Valley, Dauphin Co., PA. About 1772
he visited Penn's Valley, and entered a large tract of land in what is now
Haines township, Centre county, extending from mountain to mountain. He
never resided there but, being well advanced in years, gave the estate to
three of his sons, Jacob, jr. our subject's great grandfather, taking the
northern portion, Adam the southern, and John the central. Another son of
this worthy pioneer went to Canada, another, Michael, to Maryland, and
later another, Fred, located in the eastern part of what is now Haines
township, near Woodward. The four who settled in Centre Co. are the
ancestors of this prosperous and highly respected family............
