Marriages from South East Missouri Counties.
www.vienici.com  This is a wonderful marriage website which includes Jefferson County as well as some other counties.

And they do regular updates so don't assume that I have all the Clovers here.  Thanks to Gary Null for pointing this site out to me.

ENCYCLOPEDIA Of  THE HISTORY of ST. LOUIS
A Compendium of History and Biography for Ready Reference
VOL I – 1899
The Southern History Company
Pages 412 – 413

    Clover, Henry A., lawyer and jurist, was born March 13, 1824, in the city of New York, son of Lewis P and Bridget Clover.  He was educated at Forest & Milligan’s School, and at Columbia College of New York City, and in the early spring of 1844 came to St. Louis.  He arrived at the time of the flood of that year, when steamboats landed at the second floors of warehouses on the levee, and steamboats made trips to the bluffs in the American Bottoms.  Soon after his arrival, he became deputy clerk of the circuit court, when John Ruland was clerk of that court, John M. Krum, circuit judge, and William Milburn, sheriff.  There was but one judge of the circuit court at that time, a court of common pleas being also n existence, with Peter H. Engle and later Montgomery Blair also captain of the uniform militia company called the Montgomery Guards – on the bench in that court.  He had studied law before coming to St. Louis with the firm of Graham & Samdfords, a very prominent New York law firm, and after serving as a clerk of the court for two or three years he was admitted to the bar and began the practice of his profession, which he has continued up to the present time, except while serving on the bench.  He has appeared as counsel in many noted cases and has long been known as one of the accomplished, capable and high – minded lawyers of St. Louis.  In the spring of 1849, memorable as the year in which St. Louis suffered from an epidemic of cholera, and was also visited by a great fire, he was elected city attorney on the Democratic ticket.  In 1850, he was nominated for the same office by the Benton wing of the Democratic Party, but was defeated by reason of the split in his party.  In 1852, he was nominated on the Democratic ticket for circuit attorney, and made the race for that office against James R. Lackland, who was the Wig nominee.  Mr. Clover was elected by a handsome majority at the end of a hotly – contested campaign, and served until 1856, when he was elected member of the General Assembly of Missouri, on a general ticket, which bore the names of such men as Francis P. Blair, B. Gratz Brown, Samuel Breckinridge and others, who achieved unusual distinction.  At the end of the first session of this assembly, Mr. Clover resigned from the Legislature, he having been nominated and elected judge of the criminal court of St. Louis County.  He held this office seven years, and was then appointed by Mayor James S. Thomas city counselor.  In 1865, he was elected a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention of that year, in which he served as chairman of the committee on judiciary.  As chairman of this committee, he reported and procured the adoption into the Constitution of what was known as “The Ousting Ordinance.”  He opposed what was known as the test oath clause of the Constitution adopted, and for this reason did not attach his signature to that instrument, which has passed into history as the “Drake Constitution.”  In 1865, he was commissioned by Governor Fletcher judge of the Supreme Court, but declined the appointment.  The position of delegate to the Constitutional Convention was the last public office, which he held, his entire time and attention having since been devoted to professional labors.  Originally, a Democrat, he became a “Free-Soiler,” and subsequently a Republican, and has affiliated with the last-named political organization since Fremont’s candidacy for the residence, in 1856.  Judge Clover married, in 1850, Miss Bettie Bohannon, of Jefferson City, Missouri.  


       Rhonda Clover sent me the following two items which are certainly tantalizing. Remember that Arkansas was part of what of the Missouri Territory at that time. Following the Louisiana Purchase, negative rumors circulated about Governor Wilkinson. The residents of the St. Louis area showed their support for Wilkinson by sending letters to the president. This collection is called the Wilkinson Memorial. The residents who signed the letters lived in St. Louis, St. Charles (SC), St. Ferdinand (SF), and Ste. Genevieve (SG). In addition, residents from Cape Girardeau and New Madrid areas of the Louisiana Territory are included; however, Cape Girardeau and New Madrid residents are not indicated by a location designation. John Clover signed but no location was given suggesting that he was in the Cape Girardeau or New Madrid area about 1805. http://stlgs.org/DBgovernmentCensusMoTerritory1805.htm


  
     The signature of John Clover was in section 11 of the list of signers of the 1810 petition of land owners who feared losing their land because of the legal changes after the Louisiana Purchase. The entiire record was on line at one point but the link is now broken.  I cannot find it again.  If anyone has access to the actual records, please let me know.
The lists, containing 986 signatures of Missouri Pioneers in the year 1810, copied from the Territorial Papers of the United States, Vol. XIV, Louisiana-Missouri Territory, 1806-1814, pages 382-397. Compiled by Clarence Edwin Carter, U.S. Gov. Printing Office, 1949.

        These two records are tantalizing because they tell us that a John Clover was west of the Mississippi River by 1805.  We know that the John Clover and Tabitha, his wife, signed a deed in Monroe County on 17 July 1818.   Did he move back to Monroe County after 1810?  Is this another John Clover? At the present time, I do not think any conclusions can be drawn.  Nevertheless, it suggests that we need to do more research in these areas.

Couple Celebrates 60th Anniversary By Reenacting the Reception
By: Karen Cernich
07/29/2009
        James Weiskopf and Dorothy Clover were married May 7, 1949, at St. Francis Borgia Church in Washington. After the ceremony, the family met at the Kohmueller House for a chicken dinner reception.  Sixty years later, the family returned to the historic homestead to celebrate Jim and Dot's anniversary the same way. A chicken dinner was served and the couple, seated under an arbor on the lawn, renewed their vows.
        The Kohmueller homestead is special to Dorothy's family because they lived there for four years from 1947 to 1951. A Dewey and Lydia Clover rented the house from the Kohmuellers. Lydia and Mrs. Louis Kohmueller were cousins. The idea to celebrate the Weiskopfs' 60th anniversary at the homestead where they had their reception came up after the couple were driving around "their old stomping grounds" with their son, Jim, and his family as a way to encourage them to tell "their story."
        "They grew up in Franklin County and met when my mother and her family lived in Washington," recalled ?. "They were married at St Francis Borgia and we found out that day that they went back to this house and farm for the chicken dinner after their wedding. We thought it would be nice to 're-create' that event."
        The Weiskopfs lived most of their life in Bel Ridge but several years ago moved to Lake St. Louis. They have six children all married, 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren:
        Debbie (and Dean) Lawler from Bel Aire, Md., and their three children, Shannon, Brandon (Kerri and their daughter Kailyn) and Shane Lawler; Connie (and Tom) Prendergast from St Peters and their two children, Jeff Prendergast and Erin (and Stan) Ponder; Diana (and Bob) Kester from St Charles and their two children Sarah (and Andrew) Brubaker and Charis Kester and her daughter Ellie; Jim (and Mary) Weiskopf from Ferguson and their two children, Eileen and Michael Weiskopf; Monica (and Jim) Barnes from St Charles and their two children, Ryan and Michaela Barnes; and 
Brad and Anna Weiskopf from Chesterfield and their two children, Isabella and Nicolas Weiskopf.
        About 100 people attended the anniversary celebration. Some came from as far away as Baltimore and Alabama, but most relatives still live in the Franklin County area. In addition to celebrating the Weiskopfs' anniversary, many of the relatives enjoyed getting a tour of the Kohmueller house, which is under the care of Washinton Preservation Inc. Dorris Keeven-Franke, president of the nonprofit group, gave relatives a tour of the circa 1878 home, which has been carefully restored to its original design.
        A couple of the Clover family relatives who lived in the house shared their memories of the property as well.  "I remember how we had to walk through the woods to get up to Fifth Street," said Ruth (Clover) Marquart. "And if it rained, you couldn't get to the house because the road in was a dirt road.
        "I had a date once and when I told him I would walk home, he said, 'No, I'll drive you.' I told him he was going to get stuck, and he did."
        When the Clover family lived in the house, they slept upstairs, said Marquart, noting the space was unfinished. "In the winter, there was no heat and all the nail heads would frost over . . . we didn't sleep in much."  Looking at the house today, the Clovers commented on how some things were the same and others, different.
        "The smokehouse is changed, and the lake wasn't here - that was all field," said Betty (Clover) Stuesse. "We always entered from up there where the Y is now."
        It had been years since the Clovers were back at the Kohmueller homestead, and Dot (Clover) Weiskopf had forgotten how small the home really was. "When I look at that house, I don't know how my parents had enough room to cook the food and serve everyone (for the original reception in 1949)," she said. "It's really just the two rooms, because we didn't serve anything outside.
        "If Mom and Dad could realize this became an historic site, they wouldn't believe it," she remarked. "It was really pretty rustic when we were here."
        The Weiskopf anniversary celebration was the first private event held at the Kohmueller homestead, and Keeven-Franke said she hopes more people will consider it for other activities.
