The families I am presently researching are the Blanchards, Grovers, Eckerts, Babcocks, and Bullocks.
Right now, of particular interest to me is where Thomas Jefferson Grover came from.My family records indicate he was born in Lake County, Wisconsin in 1850.There is no mention of his parents and his parents were not listed on his death certificate.When my parents' generation would ask his son (their grandfather), Thomas Aubrey Grover, where he was from he would indicate "I'm nothing but a blue bellied yankee."
I know that he had a sister who married James Robson, he had a brother named John who disappared in Wisconsin while migrating with the family to Minnesota, he had another sister named Lucinda or "Lucy" who married a man named Ezra Orcott.
If any of these names or situations ring a bell, please contact me.
