Grove Surname

BobbyGroves500 — 2009-09-05 05:42:32Z

The GROVE ancestors of my family seem to have been of
Irish/English decent. My dad said.... that g'dad always said Dutch Irish . G'dad was Grove in Pa., later adding 's' he said co-workers used in Alabama. Origin are also found in references within The GROFF Book (Vol. 2).
by Jane Evans Best. This is a great book, with
278 pages of research and History.

I didn't personally have access to the Groff Book until
about Nov, '08. Had done mine the 'hard way' since about'97. Glad I did my research 'as done' because I
was a total rookie, knowing less than 'nothing' about
Ancestry. Being the familys' youngest helped as
older siblings had asked some of my questions. I joined
a Genealogy Soc, and learned about resources for info.,
and about posting inquiries on the web.
I met (on the webb) 5 cousins never known of. One from
Syracuse is now a close friend; families visited twice.
The book confirmed my own research and would have been
easy to copy. But NOW, I am happy because of new 'friends'
in the cousins I've been in contact with. BGroves 09/04/2009.

Re: Is the Grove surname of German origin?

janeandvince — 2009-09-03 20:47:37Z

Good question.. One that I had never thought about until reading this. In Norway, Grove brod is a form of wholemeal bread and I have seen Grove in Holland referring to whole grain mustard, both I suppose containing unprocessed or rough grains. Norwegian and dutch are as germanic as they come. So perhaps it has a germanic origin but if so it may be very old perhaps saxon or old english. I can't recall ever seeing it as a german surname but clearly it is not that unusual in modern england.
Interesting and food for thought?

Trying to find marriage of a Catherine/Katherine to a Thomas GROVE earlier than 1834. Also in Adair Co. is a Luceta or Lucretia GROVE, b. 1830 Jefferson Co., Ky. Might be daughter of Thomas/Catherine GROVE but not sure. She could also be the widow of a GROVE.

Thomas Grove, Highland, Ohio- b. 1792

houbma — 2009-07-05 17:06:02Z

So, I have done tons of research to find that my ancestors were a William S. Grove (born 1817 in Ohio) and later to his father Thomas Grove (born 1792 in Virginia). I can't, however, find anymore information on them. I found their names on censuses, voter lists, and other pieces of documentation, but there is no solid concrete evidence that they were related. I haven't found a will, or any papers that showed concrete they were related. Does anyone have any information on these folks? Let me know! Thanks!

Re: Thomas Grove, Highland, Ohio- b. 1792

houbma — 2009-07-22 03:25:46Z

I might not be able to find land patents for Highland County because it fell in the Virginia Military District. The lands claimed in the district were for Virginians who served in the revolution, which the Groves were from Virginia so that is a possibility.

If that is the case, the land patents for these lands would not be in the possession of the state of Ohio but rather the state of Virginia, or even Congress. This might be possible could it not?

Re: Highland, Ohio- b. 1792 - land patents

houbma — 2009-07-22 04:10:39Z

Okay, I appreciate the help! You say you are looking for a George and Hannah Grove? Do you know if they were ever in Ohio or even Highland County Ohio. Like I said I have found documents with their family on it, would you be interested in such documents?

Re: Thomas Grove, Highland, Ohio- b. 1792

houbma — 2009-07-21 04:47:10Z

In Highland County, Ohio I have seen a number of document with George and Hannah Groves names on them. Maybe this is your relation?

I have checked a number of sources, even going to the county courthouse but have found no military pensions. Census records indicate they owned a vast amount of land, so it boggles my mind that they wouldn't have a will or anything. If only there was a family bible or something.

Grove, Strickler marriages, Virginia!

Re: Groves in Forest Grove, Oregon (early 1900's)

Nichelini6 — 2009-02-15 19:44:05Z

James Wesley Grove b June 1866 in Ohio was married to Alice Amanda Baker in 1893 in Illinois. They lived in Ogle County, Illinois per the 1900 census and then moved to Marshall County, Iowa in 1910 where Alice died. By 1920 James Wesley Grove moved to Oregon with his three children, Clark, Maynard, and Violet and he died in Corvallis, Oregon in 1952. He is buried in the Crystal Lake Cemetery in Corvallis. His birthdate of June 1866 is on the 1900 census.

There was another James W Grove(s) who was born in Hocking and stayed there for what looks to be his whole life. His father appears to be a Henry though...not Augustus.

Highland, Ohio- b. 1792 - land patents

xd22577 — 2009-07-22 03:37:44Z

hmmm - not sure. I know Bureau of Land Management has an awesome site, but it doesn't and won't include 13 colonies - so that takes out Virginia - but on the other hand I know that Kentucky, has an awesome webpage ( http://www.sos.ky.gov/land/ )that has images of Rev War land patents, even when they have been passed from one person to the other. Unfortunately I don't know that much about what Ohio has to offer. If its Va, then you might try the Library of VA's webpage.

Re: Thomas Grove, Highland, Ohio- b. 1792

xd22577 — 2009-07-21 19:08:15Z

Footnote.com has some of the Rev War Pensions - there are 2 Thoams EDWARDS - one was born in PA, but looks like he served in Virginia? and was living in Miami County, Ohio in the 1830s
the other one served in VA and was living in VA in the 1830s - wife's name was Martha.

I also found this:

Was George and hannah older than your Thomas?
I just read (http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps/oh_cf.html) that Highland county wasn't formed until 1805 - Highland County was created on February 18, 1805 and was formed from Adams, Clermont and Ross Counties. The County was named for the ridge there that divided the Little Miami River and Scioto River's watersheds.

this links has a lot of land patents: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov but I didn't see ANY (not just GROVE/S) for Highland county. and no Grove% in Ross or Clermont counties. I wonder if they are through putting up the Ohio patents.

Re: Is the Grove surname of German origin?

JohnGrove63 — 2009-03-28 00:29:45Z

Mine certainly is not. I can trace back to Sussex in the UK
about 1700. Although different records give the name as Grove or sometimes Groves. A book I once saw gave Pershore, Worcestershire as the origin of Grove, Groves, and Grover.
Today the largest concentration of Grove's is Sussex.

Otho Grove/Groves (~1817-1885) m Nancy Bowers

CountsClanFinder — 2009-06-25 02:46:34Z

Hello - I'm looking for information on Otho Grove/Groves (b 1817 OH - d 1885 Spencerville, Allen, OH). Otho married Nancy BOWERS in 1846 in Allen County, OH. (I'm also looking for information on Nancy's family! She was born between 1822-1824 and died after the 1900 census was recorded when she was living with her daughter Mary E SANDS.)

From the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 census - Otho and Nancy had 4 children:
-Mary E. Grove (Sep 2 1847 - Oct 3 1919) - she married John M. SANDS - lived in Allen Co, Ohio. They did not have any children
-Matilda Groves (~1850 - Jul 29, 1924) - she married Alexander C. COUNTS and lived in Spencerville, Allen, OH and had 8 children
- W.A. Groves(b 1857 acc'd to 1860 census; not present with family in 1870 census)
- Emma Groves (Feb 29 1860 - Aug 15, 1936) - she married Patterson BURKHEIMER and lived in Auglaize Co, Ohio and had 4 children that I know of

According to Otho's record in the 1880 census (Spencerville, Allen, Ohio), Otho's father was born in Pennsylvania and his mother in Virginia.

In the 1850 census (Shawnee Twp, Allen Co, Ohio), Otho and Nancy were living next to Rebecca GROVE (65, VA), John MILLER (42, PA), Sarah Miller (42, OH), David Miller (19, OH), Emeline Miller (16, OH) and Mary Miller (15, OH). Does anyone know if Rebecca Grove is the mother of Otho Grove? I'm assuming John and Sarah Miller are married and that Rebecca is Sarah's mother?

Does anyone know anything about the Grove/Groves in Allen Co, Ohio? I have been stuck at Otho for many years!

thanks,
Jennifer

Lewis S. Grove

RichardMGroves — 2009-05-19 16:37:04Z

I believe Lewis S. Grove was born in 1812 in Licking County, Ohio and is a brother to my great great great grandfather, Thomas Grove born 1/16/1806 in Pennslyvania. There were also two other brothers, George Grove born 10/2/1793 and Joseph Grove born 1/2/183 both born in Pennsylvania. They were sons of George and Susannah Grove of Pennsylvania. Have not been able to go back any further than this. Thomas had a son named Lewis S. Grove born 3/28/1844 in Wells County, Indiana. It is possible that this line orginated from Hans Graf Jr. aka John Grove whose father was born in Switzerland-Not proven-Richard M.Groves
