History is complicated. If you
want to understand the Clovers in Texas you might want to read a
history of the area. If you are not a historian, but want some
interesting reading on early Texas history, try these:
John
Bakeless, America as Seen by
Its
First Explorers,
(Minealoa, New York: Dover Publications, Inc., 1989) This book was
originally published in 1950, but has been republished several
times.
The
Texans,
(Alexandria, Virginia: Time-Life, 1975) You may find this volume in a
lot of libraries. It is easy reading and is full of
fascinating
detail.

Historical
Overview
Texas has had a
colorful past which makes its history better known than the history of
other states. Although the first settlers generally came from Spain,
there were a few Frenchmen who settled in East Texas. Modern day Texas
began to be formed about 1821 when Texas became part of the new nation
of Mexico. Between 1821 and 1836, about 38,000 settlers came
from
the United States. Most of these were from the southern
states.
In the 1830s, emigrants poured into Texas from the neighboring
states. Stephen F. Austin brought the first Anglo-American
colonists to Texas. They settled the Austin Colony in south central
Texas. Several other impresarios soon brought other colonists. Most of
these people were entitled to land and what we know about them can be
found in the earliest land records.
Large tracts of
land were granted by Spain and Mexico between 1716 and 1836. From 1823
to 1830, Mexico established a colonization policy providing land for
immigrants to settle in colonies under impresarios such as Stephen F.
Austin. Each colony had its own land office. All land offices were
closed by the provisional government of Texas in November 1835 due to
the pending revolution.
The battle of the
Alamo was in 1836, and the Republic of Texas lasted until 1845 when
Texas joined the United States. Texas fought on the side of the
Confederacy in Civil War. After the war, there was again a massive
migration into Texas. Although many of the counties of Texas
were
formed very early, and kept excellent records, courthouse fires were
very common. Consequently, the earliest records for some of these
counties did not survive.
For example, Red
River County, where Isaac Clover had land in 1846, lost its earliest
records. Hamilton County where John Clover moved, also had three
separate courthouse fires.

isaac Clover entered Texas about 1822. He was in Wavell's
Colony.
This site explains the role of the empresarios.
Wavell's
colony---General Arthur G.
Wavell, through his attorney, Baron de Bastrop, contracted on March 9,
1826, to introduce from four to five hundred families in a section of
territory on the Red River. The boundaries of the grant were as
follows:
Beginning
at the
junction of the stream called Satecha or Sulphur Fork with the Red
River of Natchitoches; thence with its bank upwards to its source;
thence on a straight line parallel with the said Red River to the mouth
of the River Kiamish, at its confluence with the aforesaid Red River;
and thence with the bank of said river to place of beginning.
Benjamin
Milam became Wavell's agent
for the colony.

Rhonda Clover
alerted me to this book which, despite its title, is actually a set of
land records: Gifford Elmore White, 1830 Citizens of Texas,
(Austin, Texas: Eakin Press, 1983).
This
book includes Stephen F.
Austin’s Register of Families. Under a colonization
law
passed in 1825, records were kept which recorded detailed personal
information on every new entrant. The second part of the book is
Clerk’s Returns and Reports. These are records of the Boards
of
Land Commissioners appointed first in 1838. There is a long explanation
of this database in the book. There is a bibliography on page
242. It also includes all registered voters in 1867. This
book is
available at most FHC. It is part of their Family History
Center
Microfiche Program. See no. 6051297.

Put Clover in to search for these entries.
The first item is
an unfinished land title. Open or download it in .pdf format to see the
original. There are a number of pages here and Isaac Clover
is on
pages 5 and 6. The document is in Spanish. Isaac’s
signature is half way down page 5.
The second item on
this site is the original Character Certificate in Spanish.
It
does say that he came “casado con familias.” Casado
means
married. This is the only proof that I have seen that he was actually
married. The exact translation of all this is an important
point. My Spanish is not good enough to translate all of this
with absolute accuracy, but it does say that he was known as a very
good man, and obedient to the laws of the country and the Christian
Religion and that he came in 1823. If anyone is competent to translate
these two documents, please contact me. I am curious about them.
The following land
grant information is also on the site. I have not included the post
1900 material. On the site, it is listed by county, not by
date.
Note that grantee is the person who earned the right to the land,
patentee is the person who actually received it. Class refers to the
reason the person received the land. I have not been able to find out
exactly what these types of classes refer to although I think they are
all military service in the Texas revolution or the Civil
War.
Remember that Texas at that time had a serious cash flow problem and
basically paid all of its obligations to veterans with land.

that I an give credit. All of the other land is owned by Massengills,
who are no doubt connections of his wife, Susan Massengill. For a

land or tax list. I have not found any other Clover records in
this county and there are no Clovers in the 1900 census in this

interesting tidbits on Isaac Clover in the Texas Revolution.
Click
on the .pdf format file number
to see the actual documents. Note Isaac Clover signed some of these and
that his signature matches that on the GLO office unfinished title
document.
The
first item is a certificate which
says that Isaac Clover is due $50.60, pay for 6 months service as
private from April to October 13, 1836, in Captain Clark’s
company. [Note that this is the service for which he received bounty
warrant 4204, for which his heirs received 640 acres in McCullough
County, and 640 acres in San Saba County.] Some of the other items have
to do with his original claim and others are where Isaac was
a
witness for claims of other people. It is fascinating to see these
original documents and I urge everyone to go and read them.

26220 Mrs. Elizabeth Clover,
Navarro Book 3
I
had not been able to find an
Elizabeth Clover whose husband was in the Civil War on the side of the
Confederacy. The service would not necessarily have had to be
in
Texas for her to apply for a pension in Texas. After some
research, I found this site with an Elizabeth Glover in Navarro
County:
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~txnavarr/markers/elizabeth_camp_glover_mother_of_confederate_reunions/index.htm
My suspicions were immediately aroused because I have had serious
problems over the years with incorrect Glover/Clover transcriptions.
Looking at this plaque, you can see that Elizabeth Camp Clover was the
widow a LT COL Thomas Glover, who served in Georgia.
Elizabeth Camp Glover, 1829-14 April
1915, is buried
in Oakwood Cemetery, Section U Row 1, Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas.
She is buried next to A.C. Johnson and Augusta Johnson. She was the
widow of LT COL Thomas Glover who died 1864 at the Battle of
Winchester, Virginia. She is called the Mother of the Confederate
Reunion for organizing the first reunion at Campbellton in old Campbell
(now Fulton) County, Georgia. Her obituary in 1915 states that she had
lived with her daughter Mrs. A.C. Johnson in Corsicana which is in
Navarro County for 27 years. Thanks to Rhonda Clover for searching
through this stuff. Navarro County has an excellent website
on
the Civil War. I feel sure that our Clover would be listed on
their site if she was really a Clover.

The original
entrance certificates were in Spanish and were of various

Isaac Clover’s is listed as type F. Type F would have read:
I, the undersigned,
certify that the foreigner ________ is a man of good morality and
habits, married (or single) _____, obedient to the laws of the country
and to
the Federal and State constitutions, and generally known as a good and
industrious man.

__Date____ ,
1835 (Names
of
witnesses)
In the introduction
to this book, the additional information is given that families
introduced by an empresario were given a labor of land (177.12 acres),
if engaged in farming alone, but the grant was increased to a league of
land (4,428.4 acres) if they also raised cattle. Most
families
engaged in both occupations. Unmarried men would receive one
1/4
of the land allowed married men were, but were allowed the full amount
upon their marriage, unless they married a Mexican woman, in which case
they received a premium of one-fourth more than other settlers.
Families who were not introduced by an empresario, but came on their
own accord, received a premium of one labor. Unmarried men
who
came of their own accord, would receive one-third of the land allowed
married men. Settlers, who had come prior to the law, were granted
augmentation grants, to bring them up to the amount of land authorized
under this section of the state law.
You
can see the original Character
Certificate on line at the Texas State Archives. See more on this
subject under land records. This does not mean that Isaac
Clover
entered Texas in 1835. Note that his character certificate says that he
entered Texas in 1823.

Rhonda
Clover sent me this. It
appears to me from the description that this is at least partly in the
area which was called Miller County, Arkansas in 1830.

Wavell Colony Register
Clover,
Isaac 30
The
Wavell Colony Register is a list
of 122 families that were registered in Arthur G. Wavell's Colony
during the years 1826 to 1830. The boundaries of this colony began at
the junction of Sulphur Fork and the Red River at Natchitoches upward
and ran parallel with the Red River to the mouth of the River Kiamish
and back to Sulphur Fork. The Wavell Red River Colony never came into
its own. A lot of these early settlers received land grants in the area
and in other places in Texas, and Arthur G. Wavell returned to England.
Empresario
Contracts in the Colonization of Texas 1825-1834
Wavell's
colony---General Arthur
G. Wavell, through his attorney, Baron de Bastrop, contracted on March
9, 1826, to introduce from four to five hundred families in a section
of territory on the Red River. The boundaries of the grant were as
follows: Beginning at the junction of the stream called Satecha or
Sulphur Fork with the Red River of Natchitoches; thence with its bank
upwards to its source; thence on a straight line parallel with the said
Red River to the mouth of the River Kiamish, at its confluence with the
aforesaid Red River; and thence with the bank of said river to place of
beginning.
Benjamin
Milam became Wavell's agent
for the colony.
A
lookup volunteer checked these Red
River County books for Rhonda Clover and found no Clovers in the first
two.

of Land in Red River County having emigrated in the year 1822. If I
understand correctly, this board verified that these emigrated to Texas
and were eligible to certain amounts of land. They were given these
grants for being early emigrants, fighting in various battles of the
Texas Revolution. Texas had no money so paid the fighters in
Land
Grants. They could take these Grants or Certificates anywhere
in
the state and claim or settle on the land, have it patented and it was
theirs. According to the explanation above, this amount of land would
