Desperately seeking info on referenced subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do not know where Philip was born, who his wife/wifes was/were or names of all children.

My great grandfather (Guyer Ward Grove) left notes that Philip's sons were: Henry Grove, James Grove, b. 2/9/1810, d. July 22, 1892 and John or Jerry Grove. I have been able to identify Henry and James family members but have found nothing concrete on John/Jerry Grove.

Here is what I have found so far on Philip Grove:

MALES:
4 under 10 years of age, (james?)
1 between 10 & 15,
1 between 16 and 25 years of age
1 between 25 and 44 (Philip)
FEMALES:
1 under 10 years of age
1 between 26 and 44 (I assume this is wife)
