From Wood, W. Herbert. "Additions and Corrections to the Colver, Culver Genealogy." The American Genealogist. July 1955, p. 143, under Robert Culver:
Robert, ...d, at Schooley's Mountain, NJ...he bought land in Sussex Co. NJ ...1748...It is the deed of John Collver and Sarah his wife of Roxbury, Morris Co. ... to Robert Collver of the same ... 1783 ... calls him of Roxbury ... and same .. Lavinah Saverin ...
We know Frederick's wife was Lavinah Collver, dau of Robert. Here we see that Lavinia Sovereen's father and grandfather were from Roxbury.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In June of 1799, Frederick with his wife, children, and grandchildren immigrated to Upper Canada, settling in Norfolk Co. He would have been in his late 80's.
The party consisted of 12 families from the Schooley Mtn area, which included the Heaths, Clouse, Culver, Searles, and other families.
The Black Walnut pg 153 states in 1793 the Sovereen and Collver families originally from New England, NJ, and New York settled in Windham & Townsend Tsp in Norfolk Co. bringing with them 20 wagons, 40 yoke of oxen, 300 sheep, and a large number of horses, cows etc. Conestoga horses no doubt. See also pg 224. states he was a soldier in Germany, came to NJ in 1750.
From Sovereen Genealogy Notebook, Norfolk Historical Society, Simcoe, Ont. he and his wife are buried near a large stone house (which was originally owned by his granddaughter on Sovereign St. in Waterford, Norfolk Co., ON. Another account states that the Elder was buried 30 feet north of the Dr.Bowlby residence in Waterford.
