Hi Bob,
i was born here in Ct, and Simsbury is in Hfd. Cnty alright, but as for Dover, have you checked out NY? My mom's people came from Dover, dutchess (Cuchess) Cnty in NY state. Back then, i believe the boundaries were different.
I know that somewhere in the time, there was this great area where NY, Ct an dpart of Ohio and some of the west end of Mass were grouped, as was Me, NH and Vt until borders were changed.
I have found this with several of the ancestral names on both my mom and dad and first husbands people.
I don't recall ofr know of a Dover in Ct. I worked for the phone com. for years and can't remember one here. Of course there could have been a name change way back, but it's a thought for further exploration, if you get stuck.
Good luck and happy hunting.
Ginny

Ferguson b abt 1618 at Simsbury or Dover, Hartford county, and Thomas
Ferguson b abt 1620 in Dover.
