After the war was living near Schulenburg in Lavaca County. From there, in connection with the Bosworth family, we find him living up in Central Texas, Red Rock, Pettytown, maybe San Saba, and finally Stephenville.
Letter with no year, written by Frances in May from Red Rock states that "Pap" (James Lovelady) "started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time." Must be written after Nancy died.

Mary writes, "I knew Pa and George did not want to hear from me for they knew where to write to me and the knew I did not know where their Post Office was. I have written to Pa three or four times and he has never replied. I cannot bear to give up the boys but I guess they have forgotten me, or want to.'
"Mary writes, "I had lost all trace of Pa's and George's whereabouts. I had written to Henry Shapes to know if he knew where Grandpa was. I have not received an answer."
"Mr. Dabney and Brother came by on their way home from Lyons where they had been holding a meeting. He said they had seen Grandpa and George."
Lyons is in Burleson County, but this only indicates there were at a meeting there.
George is not found in 1870 census, nor is James Lovelady, and apparently the family does not know where they are.
