Jacob Stover, Jr.

• **NOTE: MY OT a don of Jacob Stover/Stauber and Sarah Boone.

(It would be VERY unusual for a man at that time and place to name NONE of his children after either his mother or father.)

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:
(3) 1694 Mary ye daughter of George Bone baptized the 26th day of September
1696 Mary ye daughter of George Boone buried 20 May 1696

No children of Sarah listed by Spraker – if you have proof of children born to her, please contact The Boone Society, Inc.
