I came across this by sheer fluke - and Gerrit Dubois and Hannah Cooper are my great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents. I live in British Columbia, Canada. I've been trying to work on my genealogy for many years, and would be very grateful for any more information about the house Mrs. Duviver would be willing to pass on. Thank you! Nancy Wow!

]]> Comment on Dover Stone Church by Alicia Crisp by Heather Palmer http://ferrisre.com/2008/dover-stone-church-by-alicia-crisp/comment-page-1/#comment-168 Heather Palmer Wed, 01 Apr 2009 18:04:26 +0000 http://ferrisre.com/?p=63#comment-168 I believe if your "friends of the Dover Stone Church" want to get a better picture of all that is and was around Stone Church you should speak with a Palmer. The property was owned and farmed by the Palmers for many many years. The Palmers had a rich history in Dover and were also the ones who donated "Palmers field" to the town. I'm sure there are alot of interesting details you could be filled in on. Stone Church was my backyard and I myself remember catching crawdads from the brook, poking the snapping tutles with sticks while sitting on 'sharks head rock' and camping in the hills, telling scarry stories of the pack of wild dogs that were rumered to run the area and sledding down the hills in winter. There are also a few more caves up in those hills besides stone chruch. The row of trees that formed the chruch aisle began the path, sadly it looks as though its now missing, but was considered part of 'the stone church'. Also, the above cottage you show on your websight I believe was my great grandmothers home. I have only tried once to return to Stone Church, many years ago, but was turned away from the owner even after I told him who I was. His lack of recognition for the Palmer name and lack of respect for all the years The Palmers cared for and protected Stone Church angered me and I never returned to my old back yard playground.

I was one of the first people to purchase a home at Dalton Farm. I am a member of "The Founders club", the photo used to hang in the clubhouse, I'm not sure if it's still there. I had the pleasure of "Touring" dalton farm in a jeep with Ann Dalton herself, before any of the property had been touched for construction. What a beautiful farm it was!!!! The views and the acres of open green pastures was AMAZING. I remember the old barns there by the clubhouse, the coach houses too, ann explained all about them. She was sad that they had to be removed for construction, but they would need to go, there was no way around that she said. Ann dalton is an amazing woman, so sweet, so kind, so generous, I was sad that she was forced out of the project. She took such pride in Dalton Farm, she told me she had to do everything right, after all, it had her name on it. Ann wanted to keep all the open green areas between the cluster neighborhoods. I miss Ann and dalton farm too!! Thank you. I was one of the first people to purchase a home at Dalton Farm.
