Welcome!

“GloverSmith” is a project I started in 2012 to organize and share my research and family stories. It represents the DNA, culture, history, discoveries, and memories that define my unique place in this world. With over 20,000 known ancestors and countless records connecting me to the past through my mother and father, I find it fascinating to be able to follow my family’s history back through time. With so much information at hand, my attention has become focused on discovering our first American family immigrants. With the help of handwritten records and photos, census and land indexes, and the generous information shared by other family historians, I'm attempting to piece together the stories behind generations of people whose blood flows through my veins …and yours.

My work has been painstaking in efforts to be as factually accurate as possible -but there will always be errors, conflicting research, new discoveries and endless revisions. The following pages reflect my best efforts to recognize the kinfolk who helped to define The American Dream for us all.

I have tried to provide a glimpse into the branches of our huge family ‘tree’, while honoring the roots leading back in time, stretching across the Atlantic to places like England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Germany, France, and Holland. I've gathered incredible tales of our early American Separatists, Quakers, Puritans, Huguenots, and other dissenters, of colonial patriots and loyalists, of hardscrabble American pioneers of the 17th, 18th, & 19th centuries along with more than one scalping. I have spent the last thirty years traveling the generational trails back to where the feet of our ancestors first trod American soil, eventually marking the western migration of pioneers to Michigan. Recent discoveries also include a group of pioneer cousins whose Mormon faith led them overland in covered wagons to Utah. With the help of online and print sources, I've been able to gather some of the facts and the folklore of our kin, because both play a part in understanding our family’s history.

Although I dedicate this work to my family past and present, it is also a labor of love intended to hand down to our future generations as a testimony to the shared history we call our own.
