Johan Wilhelm STOBER

                   NOTES: February 2011 - Info on Johan's burial place came from google search "Stover Cemetery, Aaronsburg, Centre,
Pennsylvania".

NOTES: March 2011 - His birth was recorded at the Lutheran Church at Brickerville as April 29, 1746. Linn's "History of
Centre and Clinton Counties, Pennsylvania" states that William Stover married Christina, daughter of John
Michael Long and had one daughter, Catherine, born on August 25, 1777, in Cocalico Township, Lancaster.

NOTES: March 2011 - The records of the Brickerville Reformed Church confirm that Catherina was born August 25, 1777, to
Wilhelm and Christina Stover of the Lutheran religion. Sponsors at the baptism the following month were sister
Margretha Muller and her husband, Leonard.
also says - Another daughter, Christina, born January 9, 1780, must have died, if the statement in Linn's "History of Centre
and Clinton Counties, Pennsylvania" is correct. (Indeed the 1790 census of Cocalico shows William with only
one child.)
Linn's history continues that "William Stover was twice drafted during the Revolution, and was with the militia
at Trenton in 1776, and at Brandywine and Germantown in 1777. He removed first to Centre Township, now
Snyder County, and thence, in 1810, with his family and four grandchildren, to the oil - mill farm in Haines
Township, now John Haines' where he died.
