  WILLIAM H. GROVER farmer, P.O. Springtown, was born in 
Springfield township, October 1, 1827.  He is the son of 
Tobias and Susanna (Weaver) Grover, the former born in 
Springfield township, December 25, 1790, and the latter in 
Northampton county.  After they were married they settled on 
the farm now occupied by William H., and remained there 
until their death.  He died in 1843, and his widow in 1872.  
They were the parents of four children, two of whom are 
living.  William H. was united in marriage April 14, 1850, 
to Hannah Adams. She was born in Durham township, this 
county, November 17, 1831.  Her father and mother were Henry 
and Eliza (Bitts) Adams, natives of Bucks county, where they 
resided until their death.  Our subject and his wife are the 
parents of eight children, seven of whom are living:  Peter 
A., married to Emma Melinda Trumbower; Chancey A., married 
to Olivia Weder; Asher, Clara, Elias A., Samuel and John A. 
Tobias, the oldest of the family, who died September 18, 
1873.   Mr. Grover has been engaged in farming all his life, 
and owns about two hundred and sixty acres of land in Bucks 
county, and a small tract in Northampton county.  He and his 
wife are members of the Evangelical church, and are highly 
respected by all who know them.
