"The original surname was Seloivre. The oldest known ancestor is Thomas Isaac Seloivre (1590-1641), a French Huguenot who moved from the Calais area to Middelburg, Netherlands, around 1630. His son and grandson, both named Isaac, came to New Amsterdam (now New York) in the 1680s, where the Dutch influence changed the spelling to Selover or Slover."  <br>,https://forebears.io/surnames/selover#meaning <br>

[edit] UNDOCUMENTED ANCESTRY

We find numerous sources with tantalizing data, but hesitate to adopt their findings when:

  • the lines of descent conflict from one web source to another.
  • documentation & sources are absent or insufficient
  • the sources listed are unavailable to us, so that scope or ambiguity can't be assessed

We offer this page as an ancestral possibility, with the caveat that it is unconfirmed by us.

"The original surname was Seloivre. The oldest known ancestor is Thomas Isaac Seloivre (1590-1641), a French Huguenot who moved from the Calais area to Middelburg, Netherlands, around 1630. His son and grandson, both named Isaac, came to New Amsterdam (now New York) in the 1680s, where the Dutch influence changed the spelling to Selover or Slover."
,https://forebears.io/surnames/selover#meaning
Anna Selover was baptised in 1703, daughter of Isaac Seloover and 3rd wife Judith Waldron whom he married on 1 Jan. 1700. She married Bragon Covert in December of 1723, and they seems to have lived most of their life in Somerset, New Jersey. However, their second and third child were born in New York.

NY; A note in the "NYG&B mss file" details"Anna Selover....dau of Isaac Selover, schoolmaster & choirister of Flatlands in 1695, and Janneken van Wiekenof, wid. of Jan Thyssen. Note: "we have Anna's parents as Isaac Selover and Judith Waldron. (The Covert Family", Fisher, Covert & Patterson, 1979 p 20). Perhaps Janneken

van Wiekenof was a stepmother since this was her 2nd marriage."
