It is generally accepted (but not proven) that this Christian Stauffer (Stover) had brothers Hans and Jacob (pg 224) and that this brother, Jacob Stover, is the Jacob who married Sarah Boone on 15 Mar 1715 in Pennsylvania, aunt of Daniel Boone. Jacob and Sarah had nine children in Pennsylvania. After Sarah's death, it is believed Jacob left his children with the Boone in-laws and traveled to explore the "Valley of Virginia."
