Hi Kaylene
By the way, I would appreciate any information you can give me on the Drover's. Maybe my Dad can connect some of them to the family. I do know that he has Drover relatives in Upper Island Cove. I'm just not sure which ones he's related to. Thanks.

Re: ADAMS DROVER GREELEY LUCAS MILLER ROSE
Thomas Drover would be my Grandmother's Grandfather, I am going to check with my Grandmother to see what information she knows about the Drover's, hopefully she can help me out. Maybe if you wouldn't mind you could send me some info (I'm hoping maybe I can refresh my 91 year old Grandmother's memory), because even if you don't know much about Joseph's brother William (and I think that could be the right line) Joseph and Williams parents would be related to my family. Thank you

Re: ADAMS DROVER GREELEY LUCAS MILLER ROSE
Sharon,
Joseph Drover was born 1810 Upper Island Cove NFLD and died 02-03-1868. He married Margaret Dobbin 11-15-1832 Upper Island Cove NFLD. They had eight children. Joseph Drover died in the "Coombs Day" Disaster. A very large storm hit NFLD and he was one of the victims.
William Drover was born 11-20-1814 Upper Island Cove NFLD. Unfortunately that's all I have on William.
They had a sister Ann Drover.
Their parents were John Drover and Ann Lynch. John was born 04-08-1783.
John Drover also had a father named William Drover born 03-31-1734.
Hope this helps. You can also e-mail me off of ancestry.

Hi Kaylene,
Since I last posted I received some information on James Drover of Bishop's Cove and would like to compare the information I received with what you may have. Do you have a James Drover b. 1838 to Aaron Drover b. 1805 and Mary Ann (Jones) Drover b. 1811. This James Drover is listed as the father of Rachel Drover b. 1856 and married to John I. Smith 13 Nov 1882. This would be my ggrandparents. James also had 3 other children - Nathaniel b. 1861- Josiah b. Jun 1863 -Selina b. 1860. James wife's name is still unknown. The person who sent me the information is a direct descendant of James Drovers brother George Drover.
Thanks Judy Parab
