Ray,

I have researched numerous relatives in Hanover (Twp), present
Dauphin & Lebanon Counties, listed by Rev. Stoever.

Furthermore, if one looks at the residences Rev Stoever lists
for the marriage partners of those he places in Hanover, these
spouses cluster around present Dauphin & Lebanon Counties,
not Hanover, York Co, PA or anywhere in Maryland.
