In 1754, Bedford County was formed from Lunenburg and Albermarle, and
in 1786 Franklin Co was formed for Henry, Patrick and Bedford.
There are many Stover Wills in what was DUNMORE Co, FRANKLIN CO, BOTETOURT
CO, AUGUSTA CO, FREDERICK CO, and ORANGE CO. These counties are for sure
the counties where STOVERS lived in Virginia.
