I'm working on my wife's genealogy. We have traced her gggrandfather back to GA b. abt 1801. On a death certificate for one of his daughters, it is reported that he was born in Wilkes Co., GA. First is there any evidence of GLOVERS being in Wilkes Co., GA around the 1790 to 1810 time? Second, with the Jones middle name, there is a good chance that some of the Glovers married into the Jones family. Do you have any records of Jones - Glover marriages before 1810? I have much on Willis Jones GLOVER from about 1820 on to share if I can make a connection. Please e-mail any information to DENDUG@aol.com Thank you!
