Message Board Post:
Robert,
Seeing that your posting was a long time ago, I don't know if you are still
interested.
I am working on a group that moved from Frederick Co., VA to Wayne Twp, area of Clinton
Co., OH in the 1830's. Next door to my Edward Canter and his second wife (Hannah Jane
Beckley of VA) is a man in 1850 who might be related to Edward's first wife Eliza
Grove. Eliza Grove's father Henry (died young) had a number of siblings including a
David Grove(s). David is reported to have had two wives in close succession in Frederick
Co., VA: m1. Susan Regal 31 Oct 1827, m2. Mary "Polly" Bickler 28 July 1831,
Frederick Co., VA. IN the 1850 census David is shown as age 43 from VA, mary as 48 from
VA and Susan age 20 of VA then Abraham age 17 KY, and Sophiah age 14 and the rest of the
children are born OH down to Hannah age 3.
This may be your Susan, the ages are right. Additionally, assuming I have the correct
David Grove(s), he would have had a brother Abraham Groves who married first Eliza
Grove's maternal aunt, and second Eliza Grove's sister-in-law, both named
Elizabeth. That couple is in Clinton Co., OH and could account for the naming of
David's son. Secondly, David Grove (uncle of Eliza Grove) had a brother, James M.,
who moved by 1830 to KY.
These two items along with David's wife's name, timing of movements, and proximity
to Edward Canter are all I have to coordinate this group at this time. However, that may
help you.
Regards,
Aisha
P.S. The Grove(s) boys were all sons of Henry Sr Grove who died in Frederick Co., VA in
1825 leaving a will.
