His Christening record in Tiverton, Devon, England is dated 2 May 1732; father is Edward Gover.
"GOVER John Gover, Quaker, later of Calvert Co., then of Tiverton Devonshire, Eng., on Feb. 23, 1750, indentured himself for 5 years to serve as a taylor in Maryland. REF: Guildhall Libery [sic], Record Office, London: Immigrants to America, by Kaminhow." - https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Gover-5
John Gover passed away about 1790.[3]
Attached documents say he indentured himself in 1750 for 5 years, which puts him pre-USA.
The documents also have him as being in Maryland.
Marriage in "St Annes Parrish, Prince George" seems to be a hybrid - Maryland county is Prince George's County; Virginia county is Prince George County, but was not served by St. Anne's Parish (either of them - Virginia had two parishes named St. Anne's).[4] The online tree with the St Annes Parish, Prince George, Maryland marriage location did not appear to have any sources.
