William Wallover

Q: Is it William H. or William R. Wallover?

William is the son of Peter Wallover and Margaretta Walton Wallover. He is listed in different sources as "William R." Wallover and "William H." Wallover. I have been going off of an idea that William R. is correct, and that it could possibly stand for "Russel" or "Russell", which might indicate that his maternal grandmother's maiden name may have been Russell. (Margaretta Walton, daughter of William Walton and possibly ____ (Mary?) Russell.)

What I know about him:

Marriage: 5 Dec 1822 to Harriet Mervine

The following link lists William R. Wallover's marriage to Harriet Marwine (also Mervine, Merwine).

Later, Harriet marries Jonathan Stott. I have found at least one daughter, Anna Eliza Stott.
