Biography

Grove was born in 1795. He was the son of Elizur Tryon and Lucy Kilbourn.^[1]

He married (1) Abigail Dudley in 1824 in Madison, Connecticut.^[2] They had two children.

The 1830 census shows the household contained: 1 male under 5 (Edwin C.); 1 male 30 - 39 (Grove Anson); 1 female under 5 (Lydia M.); 1 female 10 - 14 (unknown); 1 female 30 - 39 (Abigail). The 1836 minor trust and guardian bond has Edwin, age 7, and Lydia, age 9.

After Abigail's death he married (2) the widow Rachel (Stevens) Treat. Grove and Rachel had no children of their own, but Rachel had five children by her first husband, Dyer Treat, only two of whom lived long enough to remove with the family to Illinois.^[3]
