Dover Township Trustees Records The following is a transcription by Denise L. Rosenbaum, MMC, Clerk of Council for the city of Westlake, Ohio, completed in 2020 of four volumes of handwritten Dover township trustees records from 1831-1880 listed below, which are part of the collection at the Western Reserve Historical Society. Great care was taken to replicate the layout and formatting of the originals, including spelling errors and some random ink marks and stains, with explanations and/or corrections of some names [in brackets] to facilitate research. The spelling of names is based on how they appear in the list of Dover township officials linked below. Illegible or faded text that could not be deciphered was left blank and/or highlighted. Bookmarks were placed at meeting dates and election results for ease of location. Copies of the originals as well as the transcriptions are available in the Council office at Westlake City Hall and on the city’s website at www.cityofwestlake.org. From these volumes, a list of Dover Township Officials 1831-1880 was compiled which supplements and clarifies some discrepancies in the list of Government Officials of Dover ~ Westlake, Ohio 1811-2011 that was published for Westlake’s bicentennial. An addendum to the latter based on these clarifications updates that list. Please contact Denise L. Rosenbaum at 440-617-4053 or [email protected] with any questions.
