Salem
County, New Jersey Tax Records
Research prior to 1800 in New Jersey is limited by the loss of the many
records which were burned by the British during the Revolutionary War
and the loss of the 1790, 1800, 1810 and 1820 New Jersey censuses.
Nevertheless, many records did survive and various indexes name many
Clovers in New Jersey prior to 1800.
Since there are so many Clover references in Salem County, New Jersey,
it seemed an appropriate place to start researching pre-1800 Clover
records. I started out originally to see if there was a
connection to John Peter Clover of Hunterdon County. However, I
have since concluded that there is unlikely to be a connection.
DNA tests show no relationship between the John Peter Clover
descendants and the Monroe County, Illinois descendants whom I believe
to be descended from Jacob Clover.

Jacob Clover
A Jacob Clover is listed in Upper Alloways Township in Salem County,
New Jersey in the Accelerated Indexing System (AIS) index of tax lists
prior to 1800. Upper Alloways Township no longer exists. It
consisted then of what is now Alloways Township and Quiton
Township.
The information in this article is taken from the Salem County, New
Jersey tax lists on FHL Film number 0865488. The title of the
film is Salem County, New Jersey Tax
Lists for 1778 to 1818. However,
the first tax records for Salem County start in 1773. The last
lists for the township on the film are dated 1809. All townships have
some lists but
none have lists for every year. Upper Alloways Twp has tax lists
for 1773, 1774, 1779, 1782, 1785, 1787, 1789, 1793, 1795, 1796, 1797,
and 1798. The tax lists are combined tax lists, meaning it lists
taxable property along with real estate. In addition, each male over 21
had to pay what was commonly called a head tax or poll tax. Poll
referred to a head, and had nothing to do with voting.
“A list of the Ratables in the Township of Upper Alloways Creek
in the county of Salem in the Province of West New Jersey with the
assessments made thereon, in the 9[th] month 1773.”
On page 5, Jacob Clover was a householder paying a tax of 3 shillings.
Single men with horses and single men without horses were listed
separately, so the term “Householder” referred to a married
or family man with no land. He was a householder owning no land, house,
horses, cattle, wagon, stills, shops or riding chairs. Since no taxable
property was listed, Jacob was taxed at the lowest rate which was 3
shillings. A single man without a horse had to pay 13
shillings. Clearly, wedded bliss was a major economic boon. The
colonial governments basically disapproved of young men not getting
married and running around on horses.
Several householders with no taxable property listed paid slightly
larger amounts. There is no indication as to why there are different
amounts. The list was alphabetized by the tax collector so it is not
possible to see his neighbors. Jacob Clover is listed in a group of
eleven names on the last page who are out of alphabetical order and
added at the end. I am told that this often meant that they had
recently moved into the area. The other names at the end of the list
who are not alphabetized were:
Job Smith
John Sneathon
John Bee
Joseph Beldon
Noah Bowen
Eleazer Crandle
Ephraim Randol
Christopher Dunlop
James Baxter
William Love
The list for “9[th] month 1774", same tax collector, page 1:
Jacob Clover was a householder paying 4 shillings, still having no
taxable property. Obviously, he was in much the same economic
state as in 1773, but owned something which had caused his taxes to go
up. The list is of exactly the same type as 1773 written by the same
tax collector. Several householders were still paying 3 shillings
or 3 shillings and some pence for no apparent reason.
Jacob is the second entry under "C". I put a scan here of the
1774 so that
you can look at it. There is absolutely no question that the name is
Clover. Since it appears in two separate tax lists, I feel sure
that this is a Jacob Clover rather than a Glover or some such.

There were again some unalphabetized names at the end of the 1774 list.
These were:
Abraham Harris [with something written afterward, perhaps JunR He
had no land. There was an Abraham Harris on the 1773 list with 100
acres and another Abraham Harris SenR with 100 acres on the
alphabetized part of the 1774 list.]
James Green*
George Grier [There is a James Grier on the 1773 and 1774 lists. There
is no George Grier in 1773]
Ralph Allen?
John McWilliams*
James Kelly [There are other Kellys on the lists, no obvious
connections.]
Samuel Purvine*
Joseph Nickson
* Names appear on both the 1773 and 1774 lists
Of these eight names, three appear in the 1773
lists, two appear to be sons of persons on the 1773 list who have
reached the age of 21 so are on the 1774 list and 3 are new
individuals. This bears out the comments made about the 1773 list that
at least some of the unalphabetized individuals at the end of the list
were new to the tax lists.
The next tax list to survive was from 1779. From that date on,
the tax lists were written by a different person. In these years, there
are no listings for a Jacob Clover or any last name which could have
been a form of Clover in Upper Alloways Township.
Jacob Clover may have moved on by 1779. He had no land
to hold him and the Revolutionary War must have made the area
distinctly uncomfortable. A handout from the Salem County Genealogical
Society says, “Salem County was the scene of the famous Hancock
House Massacre during the Revolutionary War in which over 30 local
militia men were ambushed and murdered by British Soldiers during a
cold morning in March 1778.”
Salem County Church Records
Who was this Jacob Clover? What happened to the family? A search
of all extant Salem County, New
Jersey records was made looking for traces of this Clover family.
There are no land or probate records for Jacob Clover in Salem
County. So many
records have been lost in various ways that few are left besides the
tax records and some church records.
The town of Friesburg is in what was Upper Alloways Creek Township in
1773. In 1834, the New Jersey Gazetteer described it as a small German
settlement containing a tavern, a Dutch Reformed Church, and a school.
(1) The Friesburg Emanuel Lutheran Church was established there in
1748. The people attending this church were all Germans and the
records were kept in German for a hundred years. Many of the
people had come in order to work in the Wistar Glasshouse.
Luckily the records of this church have survived and have been
translated and published.
31 October 1773, a child named
Jacob, about a half year old, was baptized. His parents are
listed as Klober and his wife. The Witnesses were Adam Maurer and
Mar. Cath. Fort. The next entry is on the same date and lists a child,
Maria Catharina, with parents Jas: Fort and his wife Maria Catharina
Fort.(2)
The records of the church were kept in German. From a linguistic
point of view, the sounds in the English word clover and the German
name Klober are almost indistinguishable. Klober is not one of the most
common German surnames, but it is still in use today. In the AIS
Search One of census and tax records before 1819, the only
Klober/Klobber listed is in Pennsylvania in 1790. There are also
later Clobers in Pennsylvania and Ohio. This, of course, does not
mean that no Klobers were in Salem County, New Jersey.
Nevertheless, it certainly seems reasonable to theorize that the Klober
father in the church record is the Jacob Clover in the tax list.
If so, it would mean that the Klober father was using an Anglicized
version of Klober in English civil records.
Since so few records have survived, corroborating evidence to support
this theory has to be found in the existing tax lists and the church
records themselves. A study of the names in the two records shows
some interesting parallels. During the period from September 1773
to April 1774, there were fourteen other infants baptized. The
following is a list of different surnames of parents and witnesses
appearing in the church records followed by the forms they take in the
Upper Alloways Township, Salem County, New Jersey, 1773 and 1774 tax
lists on the microfilm.
Bauer = Bower
Wolpert/Wulpert = Walport
Sauder = Souter Sturz = Stutze
Kauz = Couts
Fischer = Fisher
Fries = Frees
Maurer = Mower
Schmidt = Smith
Hofmann = Hoffman
The following individuals are found in
other townships of Salem County.
Jas: Fort = James Ford
Heinrich Faber = Henry Fauvor Math: Ross =
Mathias Roos
Johan Georg Bender and Adam Fix bear German Christian names, but have
an Anglicized surname in the church record. It is surprising that 100%
of the persons whose names are found in both the German church records
and the tax lists of Salem County had Anglicized the spelling of their
names to some extent in the tax list. Some of the other persons
may have changed their names so much that they are not recognizable on
the tax list. This may be a result of English clerks dealing with
German names. It is a fact that German Protestant emigrants were
more literate than their English contemporaries. But they were
literate only in German script. Therefore, they were at the mercy
of the spelling of the English clerk.
This comparison of names indicates that most, if not all, of the German
community in Upper Alloways Creek Township in 1773 was using Anglicized
names in English civil records. This is corroborative evidence
that Clover is likely to be the Anglicized form of Klober. If so, Jacob
Klober of the church record is very likely to be the son of Jacob
Clover from the tax list.
The arrangement of the 1773 tax list hints that Jacob Clover might have
arrived in the area shortly before September 1773. His name is at
the end of the list among the names which had not been
alphabetized. There is corroborating evidence within the church
records. Most of the other children’s birth dates are
given. These children were all about one month old. Jacob
Klober was about one half year old when he was baptized so perhaps his
family was not in the area much before October.
It was common for relatives to stand as witnesses at baptisms in German
churches so Adam Maurer/Mower is worthy of scrutiny. He is in
both the 1773 and the 1774 tax lists with horses and cattle, but with
no land. In the tax list from September 1779, he owns 200
acres. In the New Jersey Archives, there is a will record: 19
April 1785. Adam Mower of Upper Alloways Creek Township, Salem
County, yeoman; will of. Son, John, 20 schillings. Son, Adam 30 pounds
when 21. Wife, Margaret, to have what the law allows. Son,
George, my daughter, Mary Candle and my son, Adam, rest of estate.
George has been from me for several years and if he does not return, I
give his share to Mary Candle and son Adam. Exec: William
Dickeson and Adam Soul. Wit: Elwell Moore, Charles Fogg, John
Holme. Proved October 15, 1785. 12 May 1785, Inventory, ₤ 179.8.0
made by John Holme and Frederick Freas.(3) It thus appears that no
relationship to the Clover family can be proven. He may have been
simply a friend of the family.
It is unfortunate that no other link to Adam Maurer has yet been found,
because his obituary notice was in the church record book. He was a
native of the Margraviate Anspach & the village Doeckingen at
Heidenheim by Hanekamm (died and was buried May 1785). All of the
people whose
place of birth is mentioned in the church records were born in
Southwest Germany. (4) Ansbach is Southwest of Nuremburg in
Bavaria.
No further information was found on James Fort’s wife, Maria
Catherine. There is a James Ford in the tax list in the nearby
Mannington Township who may be the same person.
Adam Mauer first appears in the church records in
1758 which does suggest that he had been there for some years before
Jacob arrived.
Copies
of the Friesburg Church Records
Because the following two transcriptions differ, I went to the trouble
of acquiring a copy of the original church record. This, by the
way, took a lot of research to find. I am not all that sure of
exactly what the German record says because the film was not great.
However, it is absolutely clear that there is no Christian name
for the father and there is no Christian name for the mother who is
referred to
only as ux meaning wife. Clearly the second translation which has
worried me so much is so much junk. I find it very irritating
that the unknown author put in material which is NOT in the church
record. I think he took it from another entry but that is not
accurate.

This record consists of a photostat copy of the original on the right

Note that the Klober entry is the second one from the top.

The first column is the name of the parents. The second column is
the name of the child, date of birth, date of baptism, the third column
is hte witnesses.
Note that there is no first name of the father. It says -----
Klober & ux[on line below] Ux means wife. I can't
really read what is in the second column but I am assuming that the
printed transcription is correct, that the child Jacob was about a half
year old and that he was baptized 31 October 1773.
The first letter of Klober looks more like an R to the modern eye.
However, look at the examples of German Gothic Script on this page. http://www.mun.ca/rels/morav/pics/tutor/mscript2.html
This is not written in actual Gothic Script. But some
of the capital letters look more like Gothic Script than the tax list
which appears to have been writtten by an English scribe. You will see
that there is very little difference between a script
capital K and a script capital R. However, the following letters are
obviously ~lober You can't start a word with an RL~~ This is not
a pronounceable sound in English or German. Therefore the first letter
has to be a K.

Herman G. L. Drews, translator, Records
of Friesburg Emanuel
Lutheran Church, Friesburg, Salem County, New Jersey 1749-1851,
(Woodbury, New Jersey: Gloucester County Historical Society, 1984), 18.
As far as I can tell, looking at various entries,
this transcription is accurate. Note that it does NOT agree on
many of the entries with the other transcription.

I researched and wrote
this article in 1998. Since then, I have continued looking
for further information about this group in Salem County and have
not found it. One of
the things that I did was write to the Salem County Historical Society
and ask them if there were any additional church records. They
sent me a page from a manuscript with another transcription of the
same
Friesburg church records. It is confusing because it does not
match the
ones from the above published page or the original church
record. There is no
indication as to what the numbers ahead of the names stand for or refer
to.
No. 119 Thomas Klober, —Margt,
–Jacob, bapt 31 October 1773
No. 381 Thomas Klober, Margt,
–William b. 11 February 1781.
These entries are on two separate
pages. The manuscript does not say what the b. stands for but
there are some other b. and also bapt. on the page.
It is obvious to me that this
translation is not accurate. The church record does NOT have
a father or mother's first
name in the actual record.
I
went back to
Orlando to look at the book I originally used. This book seems to
be a much more complete transcription. This book has a Thomas
Rhoder instead of Thomas Klober for the second entry.
The entry in the book reads:
page 23: Thomas Rhoder and wife Margareta, mother, English and not
confirmed but the sponsors pledge likewise as in no. 6 [To bring the
child to church.] William born October 11, baptized April 29th [1781]
Sponsors: Andreas Kraemer and Mrs. Susanna Sauder. The book says that
12 children, including William Rhoder, were baptized on 29 April 1781
by Johann Christoph Kunze.
The published book contains
much more information and looks to be much more reliable.
Unfortunately, the 1781 tax records of Upper Alloways Township did not
survive. There is no Rhoder or
Rhodan or anything similar in the 1783 tax list. I can
certainly tell you that there is no Thomas Klober/Rhoder in 1773 in any
township in the county which survived.
Basically, I think the error
arose from someone who was trying to add information to the
transcription and made an error. This is a sad example of good
intentions gone bad.

Alice Boggs, the
librarian at the Salem County Historical Society, told me that there
were no Clovers or Klobers
in manuscript no. 2 of the German Presbyterian Church of Hopewell.
This Hopewell is probably the one in Cumberland County. The
originals of the Friesburg Church Records have been microfilmed and are
available on loan at any Family History Center.
Other
Clovers in Salem County
Plim Clover
Plim moved later to
Philadelphia and was apparently an African American Clover. He did not
live close to Jacob Clover. I wondered if he might have
originally been one of the slaves of Peter Clover, son of John Peter
Clover. He is known to have freed some of his slaves.
While searching each of the tax records for all townships for Salem
County, another
Clover was located. In the Pilesgrove Township 1797 tax list and in an
undated list which appears to be for 1798, there is a Plim Clover who
is a householder. In each list, he owned half of a covering horse
[stud] and was paying 10 shillings tax. There are no other
Clovers in any of the tax lists of this township and he disappears
after 1798. Presumably he moved on to Philadelphia because there
is a Plim Clover listed there in the 1820 Philadelphia census. He
was listed as a free “colored” person in 1820. Many of the
Salem County tax lists have separate listings for “negros.”
Pilesgrove Township does not have a separate listing or any indication
of race, but this is very probably the same person. [See NJ Miscellaneous records for what
appears to be his appearance in the will of his father in law.]
Plim also appears in the Philadelphia probate records. See the
Pennsylvania Probate Record page. However, I find it hard to
believe that he is connected to Jacob. Since Jacob never owned
land, I don't think he had enough money to own a slave.

Cleaver/Clover in Salem County Records
A set of Cleavers
was also found who generated considerable confusion. The Cleaver
family’s name is variously spelled Clover, Clever, Cleuer,
Cloaver, Cleaver, and illegible Cl--er. They are not in the same
geographic area as Plim Clover. Several of the lists on which the
Cleavers appear had other, separate sections for “free
negros.”

There is no Cl??ver in later lists in
this township.
The following New Jersey
Cleaver/Clever marriage records were also found. The marriages are
important to note because they show up in some books as Clover
marriages.
William Clever of Delaware married Ann
Grier of Elsinboro Township, 6 October 1795, (Salem County, New Jersey)
Clayton Kelly married Elizabeth
Clever, 21 October 1802 (both of Salem County) (Salem County, New
Jersey)
Samuel Wright married Mary Clever 16
April 1803 (both of Salem County) (Salem County, New Jersey).(5)
John Clever married Jemima Draper 11
November 1780 (Cumberland County, New Jersey).(6) Jemima Draper was
from Salem. A Jemima Clever, formerly Draper, is listed in the minutes
of the Salem Monthly Meeting [Quaker] as being expelled from the
meeting on 7 August 1781 because she had been reported for “going
out on marriage”.[Marrying outside the Quaker faith].(7)
These
Cleaver/Clever’s often show up in indexes as Clovers. Note
that Peter is actually listed as a Clover in 1789. However, it is
clear that this is the same person who is listed all along as a
Cleaver/Clever. William Cleaver appears to have moved to Delaware and
to have come back to marry a neighbor from Elsinboro Township.
This Cleaver group
is particularly worth noting because the AIS Search One index has a
Peter Clover listed in St. Georges Hundred, New Castle County in
Delaware in 1790. However, close inspection of the indexes shows
numerous references to the above named Cleaver/Clever clan in New
Castle County, Delaware, starting about 1790. New Castle County,
Delaware is directly across the Delaware River from Elsinboro Township.
These references to Clovers in early Delaware tax lists and the Peter
Clover in Salem County in 1789 are more likely to be Cleavers than
Clovers.
I have copies of bible
records for this group if anyone is interested. There is no connection
to any Clover that I can see.
Jacob Clover Gone West?
On the trail of Jacob Clover
The question immediately arises as to whether Jacob Clover was also a
Cleaver instead of a Clover. But there is no reason to believe he was a
Cleaver. He was living in a different area surrounded by Germans and
attended a German Church which has no record of the Cleaver clan. The
Cleavers were in other churches.
Moreover, a search of the AIS index through 1820 shows no Jacob
Clever/Cleaver at all, much less one with approximately the correct
birth date.
A search for a Jacob Clover is much more productive. There is a Jacob
Clover in Jefferson County, Kentucky in the tax records who may be the
Jacob Clover of the Salem County, New Jersey tax lists.
The following records were on LDS Film # 0008050 Jefferson County,
Kentucky Tax Lists 1789-1801.
1789 Jacob Clover, 1 white male over
21, 1 white male over 16 & under 21, 2 horses & cattle
[published transcriptions also list a
Henry Clover in this and later years, but he is actually Henry Clower]
1790 Jacob Clover, 1 white male over
21 [Marked 1789 in different handwriting, but likely 1790]
Year not clear, possibly 1791: Jacob
Clover, one horse
1792: Jacob Clover, 1 white male over
21, 2 over 16 under 21, 2 horses, 9 cattle
1793: Jacob Clover, 1 white male over
21, 1 over 16 under 21, 2 horses, 13 cattle
There is no Jacob Clover in later tax
lists. Jacob is not shown as owning land in any year.
It is highly probable that the white males 16-21 in his household are
his sons. Since he did not own land, it is not likely he had farm
hands living with him. The young men seem to come and go, but
they may be working for other people in the area. It appears that he
has one son born 1768-1773 in 1789, 2 sons born 1771-1776 in 1792, and
1 son born 1772-1777 in 1793. It is not clear how many sons he actually
had from the tax lists. However, a Jacob Clover born early 1773
from Salem County, New Jersey would seem to fit nicely into these
records.
Copies of these Kentucky tax records are at: Kentucky
Tax Lists
These Clovers in Kentucky left behind few records. They did not
leave marriage records and again did not own land or leave probate
records. In fact, the only records of their sojourn in Kentucky
found so far are the tax lists. It is not known when they arrived
in Kentucky because Kentucky tax lists don’t start until 1789. It
happens that George Rogers Clark lived with his father, John Clark, in
the same tax district as Jacob Clover.
Lt. Col. George Rogers Clark and his frontiersmen captured Fort
Sackville from British Lt. Governor Henry Hamilton and his soldiers on
25 February 1779. The heroic march of Clark's men from Kaskaskia [later
the county seat of Randolph County, Illinois] on the Mississippi in
mid-winter and the subsequent victory over the British remains one of
the great feats of the American Revolution. Fort Sackville was a
British outpost located in the frontier settlement of Vincennes.
More information on this event is available at:
http://www.nps.gov/gero/
Large numbers of settlers were induced to immigrate to Illinois by the
glowing descriptions of the country given by these soldiers. A typical
settlement of these settlers was located in 1786 in what is now Monroe
County, Illinois. The settlement acquired new emigrants in 1793. The
land in the East was much more expensive than the same quality land out
west. In 1806, $3 per acre was the maximum price in even the settled
parts of the Indiana Territory, while $50 per acre had been paid for
choice Kentucky land. (8) The Indiana Territory would have included
what is now Illinois in 1803. For those without land, as Jacob Clover
was, the call of cheap land must have been strong.
On
this site,
Research Report on Clovers in the Federal Census 1790 through 1820,
there is an article on Clovers in Censuses before 1820. Note the
Jacob Clover in Monroe County, Illinois in 1820 who is over 45 [born
before 1775] with several young children. Monroe County, Illinois
was formed from Randolph County and St. Clair County in 1816. The
following was found in the 1810 census of Randolph County, Illinois,
page 25: J. Glover 11010-11010-00. This census would make him 26-45 in
1810. [born 1765-1784].
Unfortunately Jacob
Clover of Monroe County, Illinois died in 1821 and none of his children
lived until 1880. So far, no direct evidence that he was born in New
Jersey has been found. The Clover group was in Illinois by 1795 because
Jacob, William, and Adam Clover appeared with Leonard Harness on a
General Turn of Militia List.(9)
At the present time
the connection between the Jacob Clover of Monroe County, Illinois, and
the Jacob Clover/Klober born in Salem County, New Jersey in 1773 is
purely theoretical, but certainly appears to be likely. The lack of
extant records makes total proof very difficult, if not impossible. For
more information on Jacob Clover see Jacob
Clover Senior
Note from Michael Clover:
As to the theory of the Salem County, New jersey Clover's being
actual Klober.
Franz Klober year 1776 age 24 who deserted the British forces. He was
part of the Hessen-Hanau mercenary troops. He may have had relatives
already in New Jersey, being the Klober's or Clover's? This is
from ancestry.com under Passenger& Immigration Index list,
1500s-1900s
