I am Kathe Conover's cousin. Kathe died in 2002. Several other cousins, my sister
and I are still searching for info on the Conover children and would like to have contact
with the descendants of Gertrude Conover Mason Butcher. We are interested in finding the
names of Gertrude's grandparents . Her parents ,Ralph R.and Elnor Snedeker Conover
came to Terre Haute, Vigo Co, IN in about 1838. The Conover family was living in Newark,
New Jersey in 1837. All of the Conovers of this generation and the next in Vigo Co are in
the building trades, brick and stone masons and plasterers. Most of the sons-in law were
as well. Another alied family in the business was Greenleaf.
