Elizabeth Collinson "Lizzie" Stevens was the daughter of Francis Stevens and Sarah Jane Collinson. She married John James Grover, the son of John/James and Jane M Grover, in about 1873.

On the 1860 Sunderland P.O., District 3, Calvert Co., MD census, I found farmer and planter Francis Stephens, 55;Sarah Stephens, 43; farm hand William Stephens, 19; farm hand Francis Stephens, 17; Mary Stephens, 15; Sarah Stephens, 13; Ann Stephens, 11; Elizabeth Stephens, 9 and Allice Stephens, 7, all MD born.

On the 1870 District 3, Calvert Co., MD census, I found farmer Francis Stevens, 65; Sarah Stevens, 50; farm laborer Frances Stevens, 27; Elizabeth Stevens, 18 and Alice J Stevens, 15, all MD born.

On the 1880 Dist. 3, Calvert Co., MD census, I found farmer J. J. Grover, 35; wife Elizabeth Grover, 23; daughters or son: Sarah J. Grover, 6; Mary S. Grover, 4 and Andrew Grover, 1, all MD born.

Lizzie Grover dies on 1 Nov 1893.

On the 1900 Dist. 3, Calvert Co., MD (very hard to read) census, I found farmer John J Groves (?), 54, born Nov 1845, 28 or ? years married, has 10 kids; daughters or son: school teacher Mary S, 22, Nov 1878; Andrew W, 21, Jun 1879; Alice ?, 19, Jun 1881?; Lillie C, 17, J_? 1879, Russell L, 13, Mar 1887 and Lola E, 10, ? 1890, all MD born (very hard to read script). (On the same page is Robt F Griffith, 38 and James H Griffith, 35.)

Inside the current 1923 Mt. Harmony M. E. Church rostrum, is a dedicated stained glass window. It says "In Memory of John James and Elizabeth C. Grover By their children." The top has a cross, bible and crown. MD Historical Trust Historic Properties, Mount Harmony Methodist Episcopal Church, #CT-355 (LSP). See photo of husband's site.

Two family photos on right DO NOT REPRODUCE:

1) The Cabinet Card Photo album page surrounding photo says: "Elizabeth Grover "Aunt "Lizzie" sister of Sarah E. (Stevens) Wood & Mother of M.S.G. Wood "Aunt Mamie." Taken at Paris Studio, S.W. Cor. Baltimore & Charles St., Baltimore, MD.

2) This early photo called a tintype (on metal) is in my Wood family album. It says above the photo, "Aunt Lizzie Grover."

She has a monument and a flat grass marker, see transcription below.

The Grover farm was just a mile up the road from the Church per MP.
