About Abraham Stover

  • **NOT a son of Jacob Stover/Stauber and Sarah Boone.

(It would be VERY unusual for a man in that day NOT to name ANY of his children after either of his parents.)

Document owned by the Boone Society:
(2) 1692 Sarah ye daughter of George Boone baptized the 28th day of March
From James Boone Genealogy: “SARAH BOONE (Daughter of George & Mary Boone) was born on the Fifth Day of the Week, about ½ H. past 11 in the Forenoon, on the 18th of February 1691-2.”
Sarah married Jacob Stover 15 March 1715 in Pennsylvania, Hazel Spraker, “The Boone Family” p. 23.
“No known children of Sarah Boone & Jacob Stover,” explains Spraker, “Sarah married Jacob Stover 15 Mar 1715, as recorded in Christ Church, Philadelphia. … possible that she died quite young, and her descendants, if any, are unknown. In 1738 a wife Margaret (Stover) signed a deed for land sold by Jacob to another person, so Margaret was probably a second wife.”
(Some researchers believe there were children of this marriage, or at least of Stover’s second marriage. Proof sources here would be welcomed.)
Document owned by the Boone Society:

5th Generation continued
(2. Children of Sarah Boone)
No children of Sarah listed by Spraker – if you have proof of children born to her, please contact The Boone Society, Inc
