IllSTORlCAiv -MISCELLAXY
27 JAMES GRO\'ER, son of James Grcivcr, 7, is tlic individual, who, under the name
of James Grover, Jr., may possibly have had a license issued Xo\ . 29, 1752, to marrv Lvdia
Hownc. She died without issue ])nor to 1775.
It is more probable that Lydia I5owne married James Grover, 19, instead of this James
Grover, 27.
31 THOMAS GRO\'ER, son of Joseph Grover, 25, and his brothers, Samuel, 32, Joseph.
34, Earzillai, 35, and \A'illiam, 36, had their lands confiscated, at the close of the Revolutionarv
War, because of their afhliation with the Tories; and William Grover, in i77cS, was in a worse
predicament, as he was sentenced to be hung for treason. As there is no evidence of the sentence
haxang been carried into effect, and his lands were disposed of a year later, it is probable tiie
sentence was not executed. All of these Brothers probably withdrew to the British Provinces.
In 1766, Thomas Grover was among the members of the Baptist Church, of ]\Iiddlc(ov,-n,
who resided at Crosswicks, and who organized a church in that locality.
33 JOHN GROVER, son of Joseph Grover, 25.
He was probably the John Grover, who had a license issued, Dec. 20, 1773, to marry Elizabeth
Robbins, both of ^Monmouth County, and was doubtless the John Grover, who, dv'inL;
intestate, there was taken, Oct. 8, 1773, an inventory of his personal estate, by William Danford,
administrator, which amounted to £600.
The bondsmen were Samuel Danford and Robert Hutchinson.
35 EARZILLAI GRO\TR, son of Joseph Grover, 25, resided at Upper Freehold, N. J.
He married Theodosia and had a daughter, Elizabeth, v.-ho became the wife of Daniel
Hendrickson, who was born in 1763. Their issue is given on page 127, of Beekman's Earlv
Dutch Settlers.
I am disposed to believe that Mr. Beekman has confused the relationship of these indi-
viduals, from a study of the issue of Joseph Grover, 25.
3G WILLIAM GRO\TR, son of Joseph Grover, 25.
" WiUiam Gro^xr who was apprehended by Order of General Putnam, was ordered before
the Board, and examined, and being one of the People called Quakers, took Aflirmations to the
Effect of the Oaths of the State, and was thereupon dismissed Apr. 14, 1777.
