Hans Leonard Neff

Notes:

The first Virginia record of Leonard Neff is found in a diary of George Washington. George Washington was only 16 years of age and working on a survey team for Lord Fairfax. According to the diary, they were camped on Michael Stump's place on the South Fork (Shenandoah River, near Luray) and surveyed 20 lots. On 2 Apr 1748 they surveyed Lot 11 for Leonard Nave (Neff) and Lot 12 for Michael Stump. Since Leonard had just married in late 1747, he and his bride obviously traveled to the South Fork soon after they married. Whether Leonard picked out his land before he married is something we don't know. It appears that Michael Stump arrived as early as 1746, as his name appears on an Augusta County road survey. It is conceivable that Leonard went with Michael and picked out his land and returned to get married. Possibly, the two men went alone. They could have selected their land and built small cabins. Then both could have returned for Leonard's marriage. It is estimated that such a journey between the Tulpehocken valley and the South Fork by horseback and pack animals would take about a week to ten days. Since many of the early settlers of Hampshire County were from the Tulpehocken area and many had family there, there was obvious two-way traffic between the settlements in Virginia and Pennsylvania. --JWNeff)

Death appears to have occurred before his father's will was created. Ref: Descendants of Hans Leonard Neff (web: https://www.wvgenweb.org/hardy/nefflen.htm) J W Neff.

Hans married Elizabeth Magdalena Feg 17 Dec 1747, Tulphocken, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Elizabeth (daughter of Leonard Feg and Anna Catharine Schultz) was born 1726, Tulpehocken, Lancaster, Pennsylvania; died May 1816, West Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Henry Neff died intestate. His 11 children (except for Michael) have only been identified by deeds made by his children each selling 1/11th interest of the inherited estate, each child's share, to Abel Seymour or to Michael Neff. Ref: Descendants of Hans Leonard Neff (website) J W Neff.

Other Events:

• Possessions: 29 Jan 1802, Hardy County, West Virginia; Ref: Stover research from McNabb [http://www.mcnabbs.org/~nancy] from Hardy County, West Virginia Deed Book A p493-495. One eleventh interest of property of Henry Neff (d. intestate) sold by Jacob and Dorothy Stover to Abel Seymour.

Notes:

Henry Neff died intestate. His children (11 of them) have been identified by deeds made by each of his children when they each sold their 1/11th share of the inherited estate to Abel Seymour or to Michael Neff. This is detailed in Descendants of Hans Leonard Neff, by JW "Bill" Neff (1929-2020): https://www.wvgenweb.org/hardy/nefflen.htm.

This above site does not list Dorothy Neff as one of the children, however a deed exists showing her sale of 1/11th interest of the estate she inherited from her father, Henry Neff. Her 1/11th share was also sold to Abel Seymour in Jan 1802. So it's evident that Dorothy Neff is one of the children of Henry Neff and she was simply overlooked in the above website.

From Daniel Bly July 2022: "I am sure that the Jacob Stover, who married Dorothy Neff, is the 2nd born son of Christian Stoufer of Franklin County. In Pennsylvania the "Orphans Court" was not just for underage children, it was the court to settle probate disputes. Those children of Christian were all grown up adults."

Birth:
Alternate first name: Dorotha, which may be a family name. Her great grandmother was named Anna Dorothea. No mention of Dorothy Neff in J W Neff's Descendants of Hans Leonard Neff. I believe she was simply overlooked, since documentary evidence exists.

Died:
Probably died before Jacob.

Dorothy married Jacob (2nd son) (of Hardy Co VA) Sr Stover Bef 1801, Virginia. Jacob (son of Christian Stauffer (of Franklin Co PA) Stover and Franey) was born Abt 1774, Virginia; died , Virginia. [Group Sheet]

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

Birth:
Nimrod Stover birth in 1803, listed as son of Jacob and Dorothy Neff, is suggested in McNabb research. Also in Creamer-Stover-Watt research, "Jacob (b.1809) had one brother named Nimrod."

Buried:
Headstone located on Middle Run, Lockney, Gilmer Co., WV. http://files.usgwarchives.net/wv/gilmer/cemetery/see.txt See Family Cemetery in FaG.

Other Events:

• Birth: Virginia; The hand-written Creamer-Stover-Watt document surfaced in 2020, which states Nimrod Stover had a brother named Jacob. It's not fully certain as to which Nimrod it means. There are more than one.
• Deed: 22 Jun 1832, Hardy County, Virginia; Jacob Stover Jr sold land; 157 1/2 acres at Middle Mountain for $40 to Joseph Evans of Hardy Co. Amounts to one half of the tract that was conveyed by William Greenwood and wife to Jacob Stover Jr on 29 Apr 1830.
• Residence: Bef 1850, Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia; According to Creamer-Stover-Watt research Jacob moved his family (except Jane and Ann, who moved later) from Clarksburg, VA (now W. VA) to Ohio about 1850.
• Residence: 19 Jul 1850, District 23, Hardy County, Virginia; 1850 Census: Jacob Stover 40, wife Elizabeth Ann Stover 33, Wm Henry Stover 17, Benjn T Stover 14, Ann Eliza Stover 11, Jane H Stover 9, Saml Smith Stover 7, Sarah E Stover 5, Jacob Israel Stover 3 Martha Frances Stover 1.

• Occupation: 1874; Jacob Stover was referred as Rev Jacob Stover in biography of son, James H Stover.
• Death of Jacob Stover, December 1875: 30 Dec 1875, Washington, Ohio; Small pox.

Notes:

Jacob's parents can not be 100% certain, but were thought to be Jacob Stover 1753-1816 and Dorothy Neff based primarily on the McNabbs Stover History documents. The trouble is neither Jacob (nor possible brother Nimrod) are mentioned in Jacob's 1816 will. A mystery. The hand-written Creamer-Stover-Watt document surfaced in 2020, which states prominently that Nimrod Stover had a brother named Jacob. There is evidence that another Nimrod Stover (1805-1823) was son of Christian Stover Jr. and Susanna Funk. Daniel Bly expresses there are two distinct Nimrods. Information for Nimrod Stover 1803-1880 is prevalent and would likely be the best choice to be a brother of Jacob. But of course, confusion never gives up.Daniel Bly has speculated that *Jacob Stover of Hardy County* may be a son of Mary Stover, who apparently had children named Jacob and Mary without benefit of marriage. Mary is Christian Stover Junior's sister. This Mary was mentioned in Christian Junior's 1815 will along with her children Jacob and Mary. Birth and death for Mary is not known. If Bly is referring to THIS Jacob, who was b. 1809, I think it unlikely Mary had a son born 1809, because that is probably too late to be her son.

Birth:
Jacob's parents are not certain, but have been thought to be Jacob Stover 1753-1816 and Dorothy Neff, as stated in the McNabbs research.

Dave, I have long suspected that William E. King who married Jane Heath
Stover was a son of Jesse King and Lydia Walker (daughter of George and
Ann Bryan Walker) of Frederick Co. Md..

Today, on the West Virginia Vital Statistics site , I opened the E.W.
King and J.H. Stever (sic) 5 June 1858 Harrison Co. W.V. marriage
license application-- digital photo.

It showed E.W. (Edward William aka William Edward) King 39 widower
father Jess/ Mother L. King.

J.H Stover 17 single father Jacob/ Mother E. Stover
Born Hardy Co. Va.

It does say E.W. was born Frederick Co. Va.
I believe that to be an error -- everything, I have seen shows him born
Dec 1819 Frederick Co. Md.

I have more on this additional generation including William E. King's
siblings should you be interested.
