Notes |
- This writer was unable to find any documents showing John as the father of Elizabeth Grove, although several published genealogy reports indicate John as her father. All of these published reports are missing any other information about Elizabeth's parents or ancestors. If John was Elizabeth's father it would still be a guess about where he came from.
Located were three Census reports for John Grove.
1820 Census Warren County, Tennessee shows a John Grove who would have been the right age 26 - 45. It states the following people in the John Grove home: 1 female 26 - 45 (probably his wife) 2 males under 10, 1 male 10 - 16, and 3 females 10 - 16 (Elizabeth was 16). This Census also indicates John Grove was engaged in agriculture.
1830 Census Warren County, Tennessee shows a John Grove who would have been the right age 50 - 60. It states the following people in the John Grove home: 1 female 50 - 60 (probably his wife) 1 male 20 - 30 and 1 male 10 - 15. Since Elizabeth and Audley married and had children in Warren County, this John Grove could have been Elizabeth's father.
1840 Census Warren County, Tennessee shows a John Grove but he is only 30 - 40 years old.
This could not have been Elizabeth's father. Elizabeth would have been 36 in 1840 as indicated on other Census reports. This John Grove would have been the right age to be a brother. It is interesting that this Census shows George and Joseph Harrison, who were Elizabeth's brother-in-laws and sons of Thomas S. Harrison Sr. Their information is just a few lines from John Grove and were probably neighbors. If the John Grove from the 1820 and 1830 Census reports was Elizabeth's father he could have passed away by this 1840 Census being 60 - 70 years of age.
