Creamer-Stover-Watt Family Record
 Updated April 6, 2024

This document is an old hand-written family record, detailing information for a number of CREAMER, STOVER and WATT descendants. This document is believed to have originally been prepared in the 1930s by William H Watt (1893-1974). It was later passed down through that family in the 1990s and then a copy was sent to me in August 2020 by Tom Burke (descendant by marriage). Permission has been granted to share this document here.

I have created a PDF (1.7 mb) which may be viewed or downloaded here: http://www.bartonancestry.com/pdf/Stoverhandwrittenimages.pdf
