Hi, I too am a descendant of William James GLOVER/Hannah Anne KING, their daughter Lavina Ann
GLOVER. I also and am 1 of few ppl who believe that Wm James
GLOVER was married to
Hannah Anne KING first, BEFORE Elizabeth
PULLIAM. Glad to find out another distant cousin is related to Lavina and believes that story!! I haven't heard yet that Wm James
GLOVER didn't have a middle name, but I will keep that in mind. Here is my lineage and the info I've obtained:
William James
GLOVER b 1760 MD, d 1835
GAand his 1st wife
Hannah Anne KING, b abt 1764 NC, d before 1812
GA{my 5th great-grandparents}
their daughter
Lavina Ann
GLOVER b 1802
GA, d 1863
GAand her 1st husb.
Samuel
ROE b 1793 MD, d 1836
GA{my 4th great-grandparents}
their son
Charles William Gilbert
ROE b 1826
GA, d 1863
GAand his wife
Dicie
HALL b 1826 SC, d 1862 ?
{my 3rd great-grandparents}
I've seen on GenForum that Wm
GLOVER was married ONCE, to an Elizabeth
PULLIAM, which was around 1813 and that
Hannah Anne KING was married to Wm's bro James and moved to
AL. OK since, Lavina was born 1802, her mother couldn't be Elizabeth
PULLIAM GLOVER's daughter because they didn't marry until 1812 or 1813. To me it's only logical that
Hannah KING WAS Wm's first wife- she died around 1812, and Wm THEN married Elizabeth
PULLIAM in 1812/1813. My records say that Wm
GLOVER and
Hannah KING were married 5-28-1782 in
Wilkes Co, NC. I had someone in
Wilkes Co look that up and here is what she found:
James
GLOVER and
Hannah KING, m 5-28-1782
bondsman:
Edmond CarothersHere is what else the woman found pertaining to a James GLOVER:
Found in
Wilkes Co, NC court minutes, 1-30-1783:
Bastardy
BondBenjamin
Clover charged with begetting a bastard boy child on Elizabeth
Adams, JAMES
GLOVER and James
Sutton, bondsman.
What that last part tells me, I don't really know, but my guess is that since alot of ppl went by their middle names back then, maybe this James
GLOVER who m
Hannah KING in 1782 really WAS Wm James
GLOVER- he just went by his middle name {if he DID have one}. I know he had a brother named James, but you never know,
Hannah COULD BE Wm's first wife.
Unfortunately I don't have any info before Wm James
GLOVER like his parents etc. I live in MD and am unable to do any research right now, but as soon as I can, I will be sure to share it w/ all the Wm James
GLOVER descendants!!
Last but not least, I've seen ppl spell Lavina Ann GLOVER's first name as Levina. Which is right? Have any of you seen that in documents? I try to spell it the right way, to avoid any confusion. Thanks!!
