Shenandoah 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).
This appears to be evidence that Christian Stover Junior was their true father, not his uncle Jacob.
