General Notes: Husband - Jacob Stover, Sr.

---

He was a Huguenot, and came to America with many other persecuted followers of his faith to settle in Lyken's Valley, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. About 1772 he visited Penn's Valley, and entered a large tract of land in what is now Haines township, Centre County, extending from mountain to mountain. He never resided there but, being well advanced in years, gave the estate to three of his sons, Jacob, Jr., taking the northern portion, Adam the southern, and John the central. Another son of this worthy pioneer went to Canada, another, Michael, to Maryland, and (later) another, Fred, located in the eastern part of what is now Haines township, near Woodward.
