Notes par John Adam Stoever

[] Baptized May 31, 1767. Sponsor John Adam Stoever. (This sponsor was his uncle, his father's brother.) From "A Genealogical Index of Miami Valley Pioneers, Ohio," Montgomery County: Adam, one of the older children, lived near the Preble County line. He d Aug 5, 1851, age 87 years; wife Fannie Dups, (dau. of John) called Fronica, d July 15, 1851, age 91 years; both buried Stiver Cem. for which he gave the land; issue--John, Frederick, Adam, Jacob, Henry, Valentine, Barbara, wife of Martin Vance. From "History of Montgomery County, Ohio," Jackson Township, Churches: Previous to 1810, the Lutherans residing in the Staver neighborhood would assemble in the little schoolhouse near them, where the "Staver Church" now stands, and would there hold their meetings or be addressed by any minister available. In 1809, Adam Staver was the prime mover in the organization of a church, which was the first in the township. There had been previously purchased three and a half acres of ground to be used as a burying ground, and upon this, in 1810, a church was built, tearing down a log schoolhouse that stood there, in which they had been worshipping in union with the German Reformed people. The church was at first a one-story log, but it was afterward covered with clapboards and raised one story. The seats were also arranged in tiers, one above the other, when the church was remodeled. It is still standing, but no services have been held in it since 1871. The first preacher was Andrew Mow; he was followed by Andrew Simon and Andrew Hinkle. The church was then without a preacher, but, hearing of one down the Ohio River 150 miles, a delegation was sent to secure him; he came, but did not stay long. The burying-ground near the church was started in 1806, when the settlers purchased three and one-fourth acres of land and fenced it off for a cemetery. The first burial in it was in the fall of 1807, and now it is well filled with the graves of the old settlers, whose bones rest in the hard-earned land, while their children enjoy the fruits of their labor. The members of the Lutheran and German Reformed faiths were given a quarter of an acre of land by Philip Slifer, and in 1825, built a union church out of logs. It was torn down and a brick one built in 1861 for $500. Revs. Winters and Saul Hinkle were the first pastors. A letter from my Grandmother Goldie Mader Wehneman's cousin, Ada Cook, states that John Adam Staver was the pastor of Slifer's Church. From "History of Montgomery County, Ohio," Jackson Township: (First there is an account of the early settlers in Montgomery County: the Schidelers, the Izors and the Albaughs.) These men were continually writing to the East, telling their friends what a perfect country they had found and the magnificent crops the lands produced, until finally they persuaded Adam Staver to emigrate. He was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1767, and at the time of his emigration, was possessed of two good mills and 300 acres of land in his native state. These he abandoned for an unimproved home in the West, to which he came in the spring of 1806, bringing with him his wife, Fannie Staver (nee Daups) and seven children-- John, Barbara, Frederick, Henry, Jacob, Valentine and Adam. He landed in German Township, Montgomery County, and rented a farm on Twin Creek for the summer, on which he left his wife and children, who fattened the hogs, raised geese, butchered and otherwise prepared for winter, while the father continued his journey up into Jackson Township, where he entered a half section of land and bought a half-section of a man who had entered it, but could not pay the entrance fee and sold his bargain to Staver for $20. In the following spring (having built a cabin in the meantime), he moved his family. He filled a very useful place in society during his life and died, in 1854, at the ripe old age of eighty-seven years. His son Henry is the only one of the children now living in the state. He is on the old farm, having added to it considerably during his lifetime. He has in all 700 acres of very fine farm land; he is a man well presrved, being eighty-seven years old, and still carries on the work of the "place." Though his hair is silvered by the frosts of eighty-eight winters, his eye is bright, his hand steady and his step as firm as men much younger; he has lived a life of moral integrity and is now enjoying the well-merited reward, in the affection of his family, a peaceful old age and a perfect use of all his faculties. In his treatment of friends and strangers, the writer hereof can fully veryify that he retains all the hospitality for which his family is so much admired. His brother John was appointed a Captain in the war of 1812, but before his term of service commenced, the war closed. No others of his family were in the war. This family was the means of bringing into the township the first preacher who ever raised his voice in praise of the "White man's God," in the district now so thickly dotted with churches of all denominations; his name was Samuel Mow; he was brought by Mr. Staver from Hamilton, Ohio; he commenced farming on a quarter-section of land which had been entered for him by Mr. Staver; he preached for the Staver Church a great many years. From "History of Montgomery County, Ohio," (Jackson Township, p. 101): The first mill was a saw-mill on Tom's Run, built by Adam Staver in 1813; previous to that such work was done with an ax. Grave located at Stiver family cemetery near Farmersville, Ohio. Headstone appears to read "John Adam Staver, died August 23, 1851, aged 87 years, 3 months, 2 days." Wife Fronica is buried next to him.
