  • Notes 

    • A Thomas Dove (31) appears in the 1850 census in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. He is liivng with his wife Mary (35), Sons Frederic (4) and William (9/12), and daughter Malinda (5). M432_968, p. 171. He does not appear to be in our line.

      The 1862 death register of Pittsylvania Co. shows Thomas H. Dove died August 1, 1862 of typhoid fever in Danville. He was 37 years old, born in Pittsylvania Co., and if the transcription is correct his parents were William V. Dove and Mar. Dove.

      1 Apr 1811 William Dove II and Mary P. Mustain, dau. of Avery Mustain, Sur. Avery Mustain
      22 Jan 1824 William Dove II-Peggy Barrett, dau of John Barrett , Sur. John Barrett (?)

      If this William is the father of Thomas, his father may be the William Dove, Sr. who shows up in PIttsylvania Co. about 1783. He has a wife named Lucinda and he apparently moved there from Fairfax Co., VA. He served four tours of duty in the Rev. War in the militia, the marines and the navy. There is a pension application for this guy. They have those in the library here so I'll get that also. He owned a gristmill and left a will in the courthouse in Chatham when he died 8/21/1847 at almost 90 years of age dividing his estate between his six children.
