?? STOVER-MARTZ-EISENHOWER RELATIONSHIPS ??
I am using this forum to try to establish that Delia Mildred
(Minnie) Martz, born 29 Jun 1860, was an aunt by marriage,
to the President.More specifically, she married a man
surnamed Stover, who was an uncle to President Dwight David
Eisenhower(DDE).
The mother of DDE was Ida Elizabeth Stover (1 May 1862 to
11 Sep 1946), born in Mt. Sidney, Augusta County, VA and
died in Abilene, Dickinson County, KS.Her father was
Simon P. Stover (28 Sep 1822 to 11 Dec 1873), born & died
in Mt. Sidney, Augusta County, VA.Her mother was
Elizabeth Ida Link, born 1822 in VA.
Using the 1860-80 censuses for Augusta County, VA and a
little additional info from ancestry.com, I have been able
to identify the brothers and half-brothers of Ida Elizabeth
Stover Eisenhower(1862-1946):
Jacob Wain Stover, born 24 Aug 1853, Augusta County, VA
died 20 Nov 1901, Seattle, WA
in 1879, he married Philome ????? (born ~1859)
Charles W. Stover, born ~1855, married Anna or Annie J.
Joseph W. Stover, born ~1857
Simon Christian Stover, born 16 Oct 1859
Milton Theodore Stover, born 28 Oct 1864
missing from 1880 census
Luther R. Stover, born ~1871
Samuel D. Stover, born ~1874
To be an aunt of DDE, Delia Mildred (Minnie) Martz
(born 1860) must have married one of them.I have been
unable to establish that any had a spouse with given name
Delia, Mildred or Minnie.
Any helpful info (positive or negative) will be appreciated.
