Nehemiah Dey Grover, son of Mahlon and Katherine (Dey) Grover, was born in Middlesex county, New Jersey, March 4, 1843. He enjoyed the advantages of a good education in the Mapleton school, and at a suitable age turned his attention to farming, having gained much practical knowledge from the assistance he had rendered his father. His first field of activity was in Middlesex county, and later he removed to Mercer county, New Jersey. He has been farming what is known as the Murphy farm for the past fifteen years, a place consisting of one hundred and eighteen acres, and his thorough work and practical methods have made this a very successful undertaking. His crops are among the largest per acre of any in the county, and this may be ascribed to his own indefatigable efforts. He keeps well abreast of the times, and is always ready to give any invention or improvement a fair and impartial trial, and if he finds it practical and either time, money or labor saving, he is the first to adopt the contrivance. He is a member of the Penn's Neck Baptist Church.
