The shop was located on the East side of North Elkhart Street. North of the Bank. While there is no sign, a striped Barber's Pole call be seen out in front of the shop.-
The family picture at left shows Levi & his wife Permilla in the front row, and in the back row their children (1-r) Leroy ("Tete"), Della, Hattie, and Charlie ("Charl'') Grove. The Picture is presumably taken at the side of the Barbershop tto have served as the family home.

Information about John and Mary (Brown) Grove taken from "THE GROFF BOOK: Vol. 1 A Good Life in a New Land" by Clyde Groff, Walter Groff, and Jane Evans Best, (Groff Hist. Assoc., Ronks, Pa. 1985). Information about children of John and My G e taken from "HISTORY OF SHEPHERD AND RELATED FAMILIES" by Frank Shepherd (Indiana State
Library, Indianapolis, IN, 1943)
John Grove served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. Peter Helpenstine's Company. This is used as his proof for the DAR/SAR lineage. He is listed in a Payroll of Dunmore's War, recorded in 1775. These are referred to as the Rom, and "to a man", almost every soldier on the payroll list signed up for service in the Revolution. I have been unable to locate any other military records, so he may have served in the militia in Romney, Hampshire County VA, (now present da y W. VA.). His first son Jacob was born in Hampshire County John and Mary (Brown) Grove were living in Fayette County PA before 1786,
as reported in a journey by William Brown and Thomas Shepherd that year. The trip was made from Shepherdstown, W. Va. to Wheeling and back again. It mentions that they went to visit John and Mary Grove. (Details contained in "Duke-Shepherd-Va n Metre Families" by Smyth, book at Ft. Wayne, In) Land deeds call John Grove a tanner. He
owned several town lots, and may have had a tannery business at those locations. Shortly before his death he sold his land to his father, Jacob Grove, in Sharpsburg, MD. John pre-deceased his father, and when his father died a few years later , he left John's share of his estate to John's children.

prepare yourself to follow me"
"DESCENDANTS OF HANS GRAF" by Lindsey M. Brien (handtyped book at
Allen County Public Library, Ft. Wayne, IN, 1966) "Jacob Graf, oldest
son of Hans Jr...was a physician and man of prominence in the locality
in which he lived. He came to Maryland in 1765 and signed the Oath of
Fidelity and Support to the State of Maryland in 1778. He also in
1780 lent the sum of $500 for the use of the State of Maryland (See
Md. Archives, Vol XLIII, p. 520)" (The following is also contained
in the Brien book--a letter from Mary French to Kate W. Grove, Sep.

the Hans Graff family. I have had several sick spells and I can't
recollect like I use to but I can recollect hearing my father say that
my grandfather (Jacob Graff) was is the Revolutionary War the whole
seven years of my Uncle John and Peter were out the same time. My
father (Henry Grove, son of Jacob Grove/Graf) was learning trade at
Little York, he learned Whites smith trade. He made all kinds of
instruments for the war. I have heard him say that the hardest battle
was on Graff's run and that they could walk across on the dead men.
The battle was 9 miles from my grandfather's mill and grandmother
tended the mill...Hans Graff fled from his home on account of
religion...They were a religious people called the Mennonite, they
were persecuted and came to America where they could worship God in
their way. My grandfather, Jacob Graff, was a Presbyterian and they
all descended from the Mennonites. My grandfather sold his
possessions ans bought in Hagerstown and bought a mill 8 miles from

and William Brown in 1786 when they visited the region west of the
Alleghany Mountains, where John Grove and his wife Mary Brown Grove
had settled,..."( letter M.M. Hopwood, Apr. 19, 1907) It is unknown
if this is William Brown, Mary's father or brother. The Thomas
Shepherd would probably be her uncle.
