This copy of a photo of Philip Clover is a gift from Pete Ostergard. I am delighted to have it to share with you. Note the information on the back of the picture. It is slightly confusing, but it says that Philip Clover, born 6 June 1795, died 12 April 1888, was the grandfather of Francis E. (Clover) Jefferson. Thomas Harrison Jefferson was her husband and Henry Hall Jefferson was her son. Mildred (Jefferson) Ostergard, born 6 May 1910, was the daughter of Henry Hall Jefferson. Mildred was Pete's mother and he found this picture among her things.
Back of picture
Some of the following names and dates are taken directly from the research of Robert Frampton. If it is from another source, it is so marked. Frampton only listed the first seven children. I am not sure, but wonder if he was only given the children of the first wife since Frampton was really following the Clugh family.
Philip Clover born 6 June 1795, died 12 April 1888, at Mechanicsville. His dates are on his tombstone in Old Seceder Cemetery. Philip married (first) 26 March 1818, Fannie Clugh, born 2 January 1795, at Churchville, Pennsylvania, died 28 December 1837, at Mechanicsville, Pennsylvania. Philip married (second) Isabella Cathcart. Her tombstone in the Old Seceder Cemetery reads: Isabella Clover, wife of Rev. Philip, died 18 September 1886, age 68. Fannie was also buried in the Old Seceder Cemetery, but there are no dates on her stone.
I have considerable Cathcart information on the Cathcart page. I also have a lot of Clugh/Frampton information which is on the Frampton page. See the links above.

Philip Clover's House
Caldwell's Illustrated Historical and Combination Atlas of Clarion County, Pennsylvania, 1877, page 29. Thanks to Deb Ciroli for this. I have only scanned the part of Limestone Township which shows the Clover places. The P. C. Clover should be Philip C. Clover, son of Philip Clover, son of Philip and Mary Cooper. The Philip Clover house is probably the father of Philip C. Clover. This Philip Clover died in 1888. If anyone knows this for sure, please contact me.

John Holden (deceased) was born at Dowlingville, Pa., August 22, 1825, a son of Stephen and Polly (Shields) Holden. When but eight years old he began to assist his stepfather in clearing up a farm, and received but little education. He was married November 22, 1849, to Lucinda C. Clover, daughter of Philip and Fannie (Clugh) Clover. Mrs. Holden was born October 25, 1832. Eight children have blessed their union: Stephen C., now of Montour, Iowa, born April 25, 1851; Philip R., born February 5, 1853, died September 26, 1856; Emma L. (Mrs. I. H. Milliren), October 3, 1855; Corydon J., August 19, 1858, died October 19, 1886; Hyla J. E. (Mrs. L. B. Leflay), November 18, 1861; James E., June 16, 1863, died August 16, 1863; Fannie B. (Mrs. W. H. Biles), March 27, 1868; Evan C., May 6, 1874, died August 24, 1874. In the spring of 1853 Mr. Holden sold out and removed to Pepin, Wis., where he built the third house in the village. Soon afterward he purchased a farm on which he resided most of the time until 1876, when he sold out and removed to Tama county, Iowa. Returning to Pepin in 1878, he purchased another farm in sections eleven and fourteen, township twenty-three, range fifteen. In 1887 he returned to the village of Pepin, where his death occurred February 25, 1889, after a lingering illness.
Mr. Holden was a miller by trade, which business he followed for a number of years in Pepin and Kinnikinnick, Wis., where the family lived in 1866-67. For several years previous to his death he worked as a mason and bricklayer, and erected several of the best buildings in the village and town. In politics Mr. Holden was an active republican, although never aspiring to hold office. He was for thirty years a member of the Methodist church. Industrious and strictly honorable in business, he led a peaceable, unostentatious life, which won the respect of the whole community in which he lived.

Children of Philip Clover and Isabella Cathcart
8. Frances Clover, born 27 July 1840. Did not marry.
9. Robert Grant Clover, born 6 August 1842, died 1918 in Indiana. He married (first) ? Riddle, (second) ?.
10. Philip Carrier Clover 1846-1919
11. Winfield Scott Clover, born 20 June 1849. He married Sarah Catherine Downs.
His first name is a problem to read in the documents in which it appears. However, Rebecca (Clover) Port, Philip's niece, named a son born 1852, Winfield Scott Port. I looked up Winfield Scott in Wikipedia and discovered that he was famous general and a national hero after the Mexican American War 1846-1848. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winfield_Scott Consequently, I believe that his name was Winfield Scott Clover.
12. Clara Anna Clover, born 31 July 1851, married Cephas Jacox
13. Hiram Holden Clover, born 26 July 1853. He did not marry. Tombstone in Seceder Cemetery reads: Gone Home, Hiram H. Clover, son of Philip and Isabella. Dates are now obscured by old stone. Published reading of cemetery has Hiram H., son of Philip and Isabella born 26 June 1853, died 21 March 1878. [National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Volume 36, 1948, page 83. "Inscriptions from Old Seceders’ Cemetery, Clarion County, Pennsylvania," Copied by Mrs. John F. Kuhns and Miss Miriam Kuhns, 170 E. 35th St., Erie, PA. ]
Thanks to Deb Ciroli for this photograph of his tombstone.
August 2010 note Dave Craig sent me a picture of the tombstone which he had repaired. Thanks to him from all of the Clovers.
14. Nancy Rosella "Rosa" "Rosie" Clover, born 16 January 1859, married Oliver Burns
15. Ida Bell Clover, born 1 March 1865, married Josiah Craig Morrison.
Frampton said in a 1926 letter that Philip had 16 children. I don't have a record of the other one.
