Welcome to the Collver Family site.  It is created to give information to our Collver family members regarding our history, what's new, and to plan another Collver Family Reunion.  We are looking for some energetic "young un's" to plan the next get together -

Origins
Edward Collver was born about 1600 in England and came to America  in the Winthrop Fleet in 1635.  He died in 1685 in Mystic, New London County, Connecticut. 

Generations
The Collver Family Reunion is for the families of Edward's descendant (eighth generation) Alfred Bainbridge Collver born 1819 in Ohio, and his wife, Ruth Rice born 1827 also in Ohio. 

The Picture
The picture above shows Alfred Bainbridge and Ruth Collver.  Back Row:  William Albert born 1855; Orace Gabriel 1854; Henrietta Matilda 1848; John Truman 1857.  Front Row:  Sarah Dewey 1860; Ansel Mark 1850; Adelia Emily 1852; mother Ruth with baby Arthur Howard 1866; father Alfred Bainbridge; Andrew Freeman 1863.  (Arthillo Monroe was not yet born.)

Our Cousin Dennis Collver has created a wonderfully informative website, which I could never hope to replicate - so I recommend you visit http://www.collver.org/collver/ for complete details of the Collver Family, beginning with Edward Collver.
