      !BIRTH/MARRIAGE/DEATH: Killingley, Windham Co, CT, Deeds; Killingley, Windham Co, CT, Congregational Church Records; "Ancestry and Genealogy of our Thomas Grover Family," by Joel P. Grover, Enlarged and Revised, 1966-7, published by compiler;

      Benjamin Grover
      There seems to be another Benjamin Grover who was born in 1704 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts whose data and information was mixed up with Benjamin Grover born in 1722 in Killingly, Windham, CT.

      The former, born in Massachusetts was apparently married to a Mary Shailer and also to a Mary Milbury. With so many "Marys" it's definitely confusing.

      I changed the birthdate of the Benjamin Grover (KG8T-BVS) to 1722 and birthplace to Killingly, Windham, Connecticut because this Benjamin had the same temple dates as shown on my original family group sheet. But research needs to be done to add the other Benjamin Grover born in Massachusetts and to delete or connect Sources to right persons.

      Hope I didn't upset anyone; just trying to clean up what seemed to be a bit of a mess. Evidently the two Benjamins got combined somewhere along the line. There is probably room for discussion and more digging to make this more accurate with additional information. I'm certainly open to be persuaded otherwise with additional information.

      Mary
      Benjamin Grover did not marry this Mary (Shailer). He may have married a Mary but not this one. This Mary was married to Noah Emery and then Thomas Stearns. Please remove.

      response: I agree. I removed her and replaced her with Mary Barrett, the original wife shown as the wife of Benjamin Grover who was born in 1722. They were sealed on 20 March 1964 in Salt Lake Temple.
