These notes dispute a 2nd / 3rd wife Margaret:

THE BERKS Co., HISTORICAL SOCIETY, PA. 1936 article written by John Joseph Stoudt in the HISTORICAL REVIEW of BERKS CO. PA. (Sarah Boone Stovers, brother Squire Boone): Squire Boone sold his land in BERKS CO., PA. to a cousin William Maugridge and his brother Joseph Boone. Squire moved to the Carolinas, there he purchased 250 acres for 1 pound. STOPPING along the way to visit HIS widowed SISTER (SARAH BOONE STOVER) who had taken the faith of her husband (JACOB STOVER) a plain Mennonite. Jacob had acquired 5000 acres in Virginia to start a new settlement for the Mennonites and Quakers.

I’m working on the children of Jacob Stover, Sr.

Found some good notes for Mary Hall who married William Hall but her origins are based on:

” One family researcher has suggested that Wm's wife was a member of the Stover (Stovel) family known to have lived in the area of Pennsylvania from which Wm. supposedly migrated.”

That’s vague!

Detached as child of (1st) Margaret Stover (based on birth date of before 1715) & Jacob.

Extracts from “Daniel and Squire Boone” By JOHN JOSEPH STOUDT

https://www.berkshistory.org/multimedia/articles/daniel-and-squire-...

…“The year 1714 must have been eventful for his sister Sarah. Jacob Stover (variously spelled Stauher and Stober) purchased 500 acres of land along the Manatawney Creek in Oley. His motive is embedded in the fact that on March 15, 1714, he married Sarah in the city of Philadelphia. Stover was plain-a Mennonite.”

… “The first documentary allusion to the Boones in Oley occurs in a petition to the Provincial Court in Philadelphia requesting the formation of Oley Township out of what was then Philadelphia. George Boone (III or IV?) and Jacob Stover were among the signers. The date of this document was September 5, 1720.”

…” With the coming of the third decade of the century the Boones increased both in numbers and in prosperity. One of their number was already in the west, for in 1730 Jacob Stover secured a conditional grant of 10,000 acres in what is now Massanutten County, Virginia. He was probably the purchasing agent for a group of Pennsylvanians who migrated there. …”

…” In 1734 George Boone III, George Boone IV, and Squire Boone are listed as freeholders in Oley. Stover’s name is not on the list. … “

…” Squire Boone lived for a year and a half longer in Oley. After he had decided to move to the west he found that when he had bought his land in 1730 a certain legal confirmation of sale had inadvertently been omitted. This was rectified April 10, 1750. On the next day he sold to William Maugridge “a certain messuage or Tenement and tract of land containing 158 3/4 acres.” A few weeks later he moved into the Carolinas, stopping for a few months with his widowed sister Sarah in Virginia. …”

Jacob Stover was buried in Fort Defiance, Augusta Co., Virginia, USA (Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church Cemetery). He was buried in Fort Defiance, Augusta County, Virginia, USA. Civil: in Augusta Co., VA He was buried in Jun 1741 in Augusta Stone Presbyterian Church, Fort Defiance, Augusta County, Virginia.

Jacob Stover and Sarah I. Boone had the following children:

1.Ruth Stover was born in 1713.

2. Magdalena Stover was born in 1716 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. She died on 07 Mar 1787 in , , , USA.

3.Jacob Stover was born in 1717 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. He died about 1769 in Granville, North Carolina, United States. He married Catherine Unknown date Unknown in ?.

4.Barbara Stover was born in 1718 in Oley, Berks, Pennsylvania, United States. She died on 17 May 1749 in Massanutten, Augusta, Virginia, United States. She married Martin Kauffman about 1739.

5.Abraham Stover was born about 1721 in Franklin Co.,VA. He died about 1787 in Carter Co.,TN. He married Sarah in 1740 in , , Pennsylvania, USA.

Jacob Stover and Margaret had no children.

Sarah is thought by some to have died in Philadelphia prior to her father's death in 1744, as she was not named in his will as one of his survivors. But there is an easy explanation for her not being named in his will. She married outside the Quaker faith. If the date of death given for her is correct, then it explains why there were no bequests for her children. Conflicting places are given for her place of death. If her son, Abraham, was born in Virginia, it is unlikely, that she died in Philadephia.

I am not the only researcher who believes that she lived in Virginia. But those of us who disagree tend to be Stover descendants.
