DR. GEORGE STOVER
1748-1826

  Dr. Stover was born in 1748 in Switzerland, the eldest son of William Stover 
who emigrated with his family to America in 1754 and after a short stay at 
Germantown, Pa., located on a large tract of land several miles northeast of 
Shady Grove.

  Dr. Stover married Hannah Price and lived at the Kinnickinick Creek in 
Franklin County.  He married second, Margaret Beaver about 1793 and shortly 
thereafter went to Virginia, in which state he continued to live and practice 
medicine until the time of his death July 12, 1826.

  Dr. Stover was the unsuccessful candidate for Coroner of Franklin County in 
1790.  He was the father of twenty-one children and his descendants are now 
living in almost every state of the United States.
