Testimony of David Dove, nephew of James Dove:
This paragraph is the beginning of the biography of David Dove, which was published during his lifetime in a book about Fountain County, Indiana. David says that his grandfather, John Dove, came from Ohio to Fountain County with most of his family. David names his father, Abraham Dove. He also names all Abraham’s siblings, among them James Dove. Can we rely upon David’s testimony? The census records shown below suggest that David is correct when he describes his family tree.
