Notes

The following appears to have been compiled by Margaret Beaty Selover Ziesenhenne in July 1984, based on information extracted from Selover-Slover Family, Second Edition, 1681-1968, Mabel Jacques Hadler, 5917 Myrtle Ave., Long Beach, CA 90805, 1968.

P. 1, Section 1: The Selovers were French Huguenots who sought refuge in the Netherlands. The name seems to have been spelled Seloivre in the French form. Upon marriage to Dutch wives, who found the name difficult, the spelling became Seloover and Sloover. When New York was no longer Dutch, the English had trouble with both spelling and pronunciation and it became Selover and Slover. Some branches retained the Seloover spelling, others used Sellover and some even accented the first syllable by spelling it Sealover.

....... Earliest record, Bibliotheque Wallone, Letde, 10 July 1951; Pieterskerhoff, 40: (from extensive card system) No. 4, Isacq Slover (or Selover). We found such a name. An Isaac Selover and his wife Susanna Sohier, coming from Groede, joined the Church of Middelburg in October 1673, signed Th. Maryt, for Librarian.

....... Rijesarchief in Zeeland, No. C644 9 August 1951, Middelburg: 25 April 1670 mention is made of Isaac Seloivre, coachbuilder, Alderman of Breskens (nabour place of Groede) (inventaris recterlijke archieven Zeewsch-Viaanderen No. 2153). 4 Aug 1670 a marriage-contract ... between his daughter Sara with Heyndrick Antheunias Fioen (Mother); Susanna Sohier. ......... Isaac Seloivre .. died between May 15, 1681 and 25 April 1682; Isaac ... & Susanna ... had the following children: 1. Isaac the Younger; 2. Susanna, married Jan Dermont; 3. Sara; 4. Abraham; 5. Elysabeth. Isaac, Jr. was named schoolmaster at Schoodijke on 26 May 1673; a former schoolmaster on 27 July 1684.

....... Sohier: ... article in Dutch magazine of 1883-85 ... (Genealogical Heraldic Society Monthly ... All the Sohiers of Netherlands were descended from Hugues and Adelie de Torote, of Warmenhuysen. ... a number of them lived at Middelburg, but no relationship to Susanna Sohier has been found. The Genealogical Library at Salt Lake City show Sohier family traces back to Emperor Charlemagne. Isaac Selover, born probably in Zeeland, son of Isaac Selover and Susanna Sohier ... was living in Flatbush as late as 1715 (NY) ... probable that Isaac left Holland shortly after the death of his father ... on tax rolls of Newcastle, Delaware from 1683-1687.

Per Mr. Slover's introduction, the history was excerpted almost verbatim from Mabel Jacques Hadler's, 1968 volume on the Selover-SLover Family. The document the following was excerpted from (Mr. Slover's) is a photocopy of the history in the hands of "The Northwest Arkansas Genealogical Society," and is numbered G-462.

Isaac Selover ...

seems to have married his first wife,

Hester Van Leuvenigh

before coming to American and the first child, Susanna, may have been born in Holland. At the Hall of Records, Annapolis, we find a statement that Hendrick Van Leuvenigh was a brother-in-law of Isaac Selover.

Records of the New Amsterdam Reformed Dutch Church (N.A.R.D.C.) contain Isaac's second and third marriages. A translation of these records is as follows: "Isaacq Selover, schoolmaster and assistant pastor at New Amersfoort, widower of Hester Leena (Van Leuvenigh), and Jannekan Van Wilkenhof, widow of Jan Thyssen, the former of New Amersfoort, the second living here, Jan. 23, 1695."

"Isaacq Selover, widower of Jannekan Van Wilkenhof, and Judith Waldron of New York, Dec. 26, 1699." She was Baptised Dec. 22, 1675 New Amsterdam R.D. Church with Herman Smeeman (second husband of Annetje Daniels, Judith's paternal grandmother) and Gertrude Schuler as sponsors.
