| Notes |
- "Unfortunately, some years ago, an inexperienced researcher read this [1764] deed and decided that the reason it was odd was that Philip's wife was a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Shepherd. Since then, this myth has taken on a life of its own and appears in the International Genealogical Index, the Ancestral File, early issues of the Clover Family Exchange (which I did not publish), and every possible place you could possibly find a Clover family tree. However, there is absolutely no proof that Philip was married to one of Shepherd's daughter[s]. In actual fact, Thomas Shepherd's will, dated 23 March 1776, and the will of his wife, Elizabeth Shepherd, dated 10 July 1793, identify their children. The Shepherd family was an important one in the area and has been extensively researched. All of his daughters are accounted for and it is physically impossible for any of them to have been married to Philip Clover. ... The first names of two of Philip's wives are known, but their surnames are not. On 16 September 1773, Philip and his wife, Elizabeth, sold 15 acres. ... So we know that in 1773, Philip was married to an Elizabeth. Note that this does not prove that she was the mother of anyone in particular. However, she is the most likely candidate. There is no clue as to her actual surname. ... Sometime between 1780 and 1781, Philip remarried someone with the first name of Susannah. Her identity is not known." (June Clover Byrne, "Philip Clover of Frederick County and Berkeley County, Virginia") [1]
