  • Notes 
    • Notes regarding parents of Nimrod Stover.Source: http://www.vagenweb.org/shenandoah/bly_1810_1816.htmlShenandoah Co. Minute Order 12 Jun 1815.-Lydia and Franey Stover, orphans of Christian Stover (Junior), chose Isaac Funk as guardian, over 14 years of age. - Isaac Funk is appointed guardian to Nimrod Stover, orphan of Christian (Junior). According to Daniel Bly, this Nimrod Stover (b.1805) died in 1823 and is not the Nimrod Stover who m. Nancy and lived from 1803-1880.Nimrod Stover 1803-1880 who m. Nancy: His parents cannot be 100% certain, but had originally been thought to be Jacob Stover 1753-1816 and Dorothy Neff based primarily on the McNabbs documents. The problem is neither Nimrod (nor brother Jacob) are NOT mentioned in Jacob Stover's 1816 will, so this casts some doubt. The hand-written Creamer-Stover-Watt document surfaced in 2020, which states Jacob and Nimrod Stover were brothers, which would make Nimrod's parents the same as Jacob. There is evidence that a different Nimrod Stover (1805-1823) had a father named Christian Stover Jr., according to Daniel Bly, who expressed these is more than one Nimrod Stover. Information on Nimrod Stover born in 1803 is prevalent. So of course, confusion never gives up.More Info: Through the Years, 1962, Virginia Golden Walgreen.http://www.seekingmyroots.com/members/files/G002218.pdf
