If you do not find your Clover on this site, please contact June Clover Byrne, Editor of the Clover Family Newsletters, at junebyr@yahoo.comThis report is copyrighted 2006 by June Clover Byrne. I am putting these pages up as fast as I can. I tend to work in areas which readers have requested. So if you are looking and don't find your person, ASK!!
Clovers in US Wide Databases
United States Tax Records Prior to 1829. Use this for areas where early censuses were destroyed.
United States Federal Population Censuses from 1790 to 1820 This database has the extracted records of Clovers in all of the states which survived. It does not include tax records which are have been used to reconstruct censuses that were lost.
Errata Records in US Federal Population Censuses from 1790 to 1820 This database details entries which have been indexed as Clovers by various sources, but which I do not believe are Clover records for various reasons. Some specifically have other names. Some say Clover, but I suspect it referred to a Glover, or some other similar name. I have included them here because it is impossible to say for sure and because they appear in indexes erroneously.
United States Federal Population Censuses from 1830 to 1840 This database has the extracted records of Clovers in all the states which survived. It does not include tax records which have been added to some databases.
United States Census Mortality Schedules. These were taken along with the regular census from 1850 to 1900. All of 1900 was destroyed by the census department. Some of the rest did not survive.
United States Immigration Records Since we are primarily concerned with early arrivals, there are few records here.
United States Passport Applications This happens to include birth dates and places.
United States Military Records Please also check the states. Your Clover could be listed either place.
Clovers in Lineage Societies This is a subset of military records. They include all DAR records I have found so far.
United States Native American Research
Black History Month 2007 This database was donated to celebrate Black History Month. It includes many African American records.
Early Newspapers
At one point I had access to a number of very early newspapers through Godfrey.org which no longer provides access to it. I searched the following:
The Pennsylvania Genealogical Catalogue [mostly Chester County (1809-1870)]
The Pennsylvania Newspaper Record: Delaware County (1819-1870)
African American Newspapers: The 19th Century [800+ mentions of Clover seed, white clover, clover mills, red clover, etc. It is possible there is a Clover person in this. I did not fully search it.]
The Civil War: A Newspaper Perspective included three newspapers from November 1860 - April 1865
This database contains the full text of major articles gleaned from over 2,500 issues of The New York Herald, The Charleston Mercury and the Richmond Enquirer, published between November 1, 1860 and April 15, 1865. The only Clover entry I found was:
May 6, 1864 The New York Herald
Henry A. Clover, Miss[ouri].
THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
To be Held at Cleveland, Ohio, to Nominate Candidates for President and Vice President.
We earnestly invite our fellow citizens to unite at Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday, the thirty-first of May current, for consultation and concert of action in respect to the approaching Presidential election.
