Jacob Clover of Monroe County,
Illinois
Jacob Clover married Catherine Harness, the daughter
of Leonard
Harness.
There does not appear to be a marriage record for them in the
area. The earliest marriage records for St. Clair County date from
1791. There was a marriage record for her sister Sally in
1800 in St. Clair.
He left a will and there is a photocopy of this will on the Jacob Clover Will page. Unfortunately, he did not list his children in this will so it has been necessary to prove them by other means.

* Pat Vaseska has been working on this cemetery which has just recently been found. The cemetery is in terrible shape and previously unknown. Most of the cemeteries in the county have been destroyed by the county government when they wanted to widen roads, etc. That is why just finding a couple of tombstones is such a big deal. Most of the cemetery is now broken bits of stone.
