(July 1997)

James Lovelady was a minister of the Christian Church (restoration movement, known as Cambellites - Karl Kiser). James and Nancy removed from White County, Tennessee, with other members of their family to Missouri by 1831, where James helped to organize the Salem Christian Church in Platte Co, Missouri. The family was in Victoria County, Texas by 1845, when James and Nancy were on the Board of the First Christian Church. James and Nancy had three children, all daughters.
(1.) Jane (married Jackson Butts on 29 Jan 1835, in Jackson Co., Missouri);
(2.) Sarah (married M. M. Jones and died in DeWitt County, Texas, in 1860); and
(3.) Ann (married A. Lee on 4 Nov 1847, in Victoria County, Texas).
Sadly, all three of James and Nancy's daughters died relatively young. However, they remained on close terms with their sons-in-law.

the following provided by Mary Ehlers, 3665 N. Bond, Fresno CA 93726:
James was born 1790-1800 according to 1840 Census (Platte Co, Missouri), married Nancy; died in Texas after 1880 when he was listed in the household of grandson George Jones in San Saba County.
James was in Missouri by 1831 when he and wife Nancy, with William Bowers and wife Catherine, deeded land to Thomas Linville. (see notes of Nancy Linville Lovelady).

Our local library has "Missouri Miscellany". It is nothing more than a hodgepodge of genealogical items that some publisher threw together into a series of volumes. From Volume I, Woodruff, 1976:
"24 Dec 1831, William Bowers and Catherine, his wife & James Lovelady and Nancy, his wife, to Thomas Linville sum of $120.00, E 1/2 of SW Quarter of Section 36, Township 50, Range 33, 80 acres. Witness: George Manship J.P., Rec 31 May 1832 Jackson County, MO)

This is all there is and probably would not be considered a 'source' as it does not give any other details like a deed would.

Would you please send me a copy of the deed reflected in the following citation and mail to the address indicated in the letterhead. I have enclosed a check for $10.00 to cover the look-up and copy fees.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
______________________
The Salem Christian Church, Platte Co, Missouri, was organized 31 Dec 1837. Among its constituent members were James Lovelady, an Elder, and his wife Nancy. He was a minister of the Christian Church. By 1845 he was in Victoria, Texas, where was on the Board of Directors of the First Christian Congregation with Nancy Lovelady and Jackson Butts. He and his wife Nancy are shown on the 1860 Census (Dewitt Co, Texas)

1820 Smith Co , TN-
James (1797);
1 male under 10;
1 male 26-45 (1775-1794) (James 1797) a bit old
1 female under 10 (1810-1820) this would be Jane, but 1830 census did not show a daughter born before 1820.
1 female 16-26 (1794-1804) (Nancy 1800)

(This is not our James. It is the son of John Lovelady. He was born in 1760 and died in 1837 or so. John was the brother of Thomas Lovelady (John Reedy)

However, interesting that White Co formed from Smith Co in 1806.


1820 White Co, TN - James' father Thomas confirmed there, family profile fits.

1830 Missouri Census - Jackson County

1833: James Lovelady is likely to have some additional interesting details from October 1833 (Battle of Mormons or Battle of Big Blue--Kaw township, Jackson county, MO). I have not had a chance to fully follow the clues. The Mormons had a colony west of the Big Blue and there was violence because the Mormons voted in block and others took exception. A Thomas Linville was killed 31 Oct 1833. (Karl Kiser, 4 Mar 2010)

After 1860:
Letter from Mary (g-daughter) dated Dec 22, 1862 states: "He asked about Grandma & Pap (James Lovelady) he said if he knew where to write to he would write to them.... We have not heard from any of you nor Grandma and Pap."
(Nancy living in 1862)

probably between 1866-1970)
Letter from Frances (wife of George, Mary's brother, g-daughter-in-law of Loveladys) wrote from Red Rock (Central TX) in May (no further date) "Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time."
Mary was in Oak Hill, near LaGrange, TX, Oct 17th '70, per dated letter. (county?)
(This is apparently after the war as it is said that George lived in near Schulenburg in Lavaca Co. at that time, later moving to Central TX. Nancy must have died by this time.)

Jane: married 1835; so she's gone.
Sarah (19) - probably newlywed living with Mara at Stephen's.
Ann married in 1847. If this is Sarah -- then where is Ann? Ann would be under 10 per the 1830 census when she wasn't born yet. This has to be Ann even though it's the wrong age group. That means Sarah isn't accounted for here.

Residence:
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. Perhaps they were living nearby. Frances writes a letter, estimated as 1877, stating she had "not heard from Burleson" She and George were in Red Rock and she stated that James Lovelady had left there - so, not sure who was in Burleson.


Census:
Frances living in Red Rock, dates her letter simply "May." Guessing this is about 1877. She writes to Susan Bounds Butts
"Pap started down to Lavaca about two or three weeks ago. He went by Mary's. I expect he will stay there some time. I got a letter from Mary the same day I got yours. She was well and doing well."
Leonard surmised Mary was in Burleson, but that would not be enroute from Red Rock to Lavaca. Perhaps this was after Nancy died, or perhaps it was after Mr. Norton died. Mary might have still been living near LaGrange.

Notes:

{Note: Information on the parents and grandparents of Thomas Lovelady was furnished by Sharon Long; JGustaf114@aol.com}

The following furnished by: Mary Ehlers, 3665 North Bond St, Fresno, CA 93726
Thomas' children are recorded in deeds in White Co, Tennessee. Based on age and residence, Thomas was possibly the son of either John or William of Greene Co, Tennessee. Although we have not proven any link of the two families, the naming parn of Thomas' family follows most closely the pattern of William Morgan. David McDonald, who researched Thomas Lovelady's family in the 1980s provided much of this data, most of which is verified by vital and census records. Much of the Bounds information was taken from Ruth Dryden's "Bounds Genealogy."
Thomas Lovelady was born about 1767 and died 1826-27 in White Co, Tennessee. On 18 Oct 1872 (sic) he married Jane Wear in Greene Co, Tennessee. She was the daughter of John Wear (of Robert) and Nancy Moore (of Moses.)
In 1788 a Thomas L-o-v-e-l-a-t-y served in the militia from Waldens Creek and the West Fork of Little Pigeon under Col. George Doherty on an expedition against the Chicagamuaga Indians.
(related article: http://carrollscorner.net/HendersonIndians.htm)

William Lovelaty, Joseph Lovelaty and Curtis Mills wen the same militia. In 1799 Thomas Lovelady with William Lovelady and perhaps Jesse Lovelady, signed a petition of the inhabitants south of the French Broad asking the General Assembly for relief from land and taxation problems. He was on the Sevier Co, Tennessee, tax list the same year.
Served in War of 1812 for Tennessee. Enlisted 12/10/1812 under Col. Thomas Benton, Capt. Benjamin Hewitt. (from Kirby Wilson)
Together with his partner Thomas Bounds in 1810 Thomas Lovelady acquired many acres of land in White Co, Tennessee, much of it on Falling Waters, which is now in Putnam Co. In 1812 Thomas Bounds deeded 109 acres on Pigeon Roost Creek to Ts Lovelady, who was taxed on that land until 1826. On the tax lists, Jane is listed in 1827, Jesse in 1825, and Thomas in 1828. On 29 March 1831 Thomas Bounds deeded 203 acres of land in Falling Water to Jesse Lovelady for $1. This deed included the Lovelady farm and dwelling. On 6 June 1832 a deed was recorded in Jackson Co, Missouri, between Jane Lovelady of White Co, Tennessee and the heirs of Thomas Lovelady, including their spouses. These same heirs later deeded back their shares to Jane Lovelady. On 1 Aug 1837 Jane Lovelady sold Thomas Lovelady's property in White Co, Tennessee to Joseph Farris, husband of Margaret (Mills) Farris. Margaret was the granddaughter of Ann Lovelady and Curtis Mills who married in 1784 in Greene Co, Tennessee. The Lovelady Cemetery is located off Cookeville Road to Sparta at the right of Pigeon Roost Creek. Thomas is probably buried there, but his headstone has not been found.

NOTE: There was a Nancy Maden m Nathaniel Cox 20 Aug 1839, Lincoln Co., MO, possibly his daughter's 2nd husband, or perhaps a grandchild?

Other information
This comes from a letter from a grandson of John Lovelady, from Cave Creek, Newton County, Arkansas written to John W. Bowens, author of an 1892 History of Smith County, Tennessee, and quoted in his book. The book, apparently typed and "self-published" is a classic on the county and is available at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.

John* married Sarah* Morgan(?) about 1760. Sarah* was born about 1740; died after 1790. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military: Between 1775 and 1783, Revolutionary War, Smith Co, Tennessee

Notes:

Some researches show Sarah Morgan as spouse; however that appears to be conjecture only and so far, no found basis. (see note of husband)

Name:
Some researchers show her to be Sarah Morgan but it was only put forward as speculation by researcher Dave McDonald and others. It is not verified or substantiated.
From Karl Kiser: The early ancestors are a mystery. John is a good possible father of Thomas. I do not know his wife. I have seen Sarah Morgan but never good documentation on the marriage.
Note: He had a daughter named Sarah and a son named "Morgan," so until further is learned, will stay with Sarah Morgan.

Some researchers are showing a wife Agnes Merchant.
This union is not correct.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military: 1780, Battle of Kings Mountain, Cherokee Co, North Carolina

Notes:

Early in the spring of 1800 John Wear, Nathan Wilkinson, and others including Obediah Lovelady journeyed in small boats from Fine's Ferry on French Broad River at the mouth of Nolachuck River destined for Boone's settlement on the Missouri River. Generally the Indians were friendly and helpful, but towards the end of their journey they encountered hostile Cherokees who were waging war with the Kikapoo. They were led by John Watts who gave John Wear the same protection he had given to Robert Wear and the party landed safely at Fort Massac about the first of May and continued on to the Mississippi River and settled near the swamps in the vicinity of Old Jackson. They were immediately taken sick with fever. Many of the party died among them Nancy Moore, John Wear's wife, and his son John and the rest only survived due to the care given them by the Indians.
On his application for a Revolutionary War pension, John Wear gives his birthdate as 12 January 1741. John Wilkinson says that John's wife Nancy Moore, the daughter of Moses and Jane Moore. She died on their ill-fated trip to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in 1800.
--------
John Wear states in his Rev. Was pension application that he entered the army from Greene Co NC (later Tennessee) in January 1781, spending 3 months in Capt John Sevier's company, "in pursuit of the tories'; three months in Capt. Wm. Tate's company in the siege of Yorktown and the capture of Cornwallis; four months in Capt. Moses Moore's company; and the last two months under Col Sam'l Wear (his brother) against the Cherokee Indians. After the war he lived in Cape Girardeau briefly, Christian Co KY, and finally Sevier County, Tennessee.

1792 was the security for his daughter Jane's marriage in Greene Co, Tennessee.

Military:
Revolutionary War soldier

John* married Rebecca Nancy* Moore about 1765 in Rockbridge Co, Virginia. Rebecca (daughter of Captain Moses* Moore and Jane (..) Moore) was born about 1745; died in May 1800 in en route to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Nancy Moore, according to various family records was one of three wives of John Wear. She was the daughter of Moses Moore, quite likely the same Capt. Moses Moore in whose company John Wear served four months in the Revolutionary War. It is believed that John Wear's second and third wives were Margaret and Diana.

Nancy's name is also given as Rebecca in Notable Southern Families where it states:
"Mary Thompson died in 1797 and Samuel married Polly (Mary) Gilliand a few years later. Polly was the daughter of John and Margaret Gilliand. Margaret Gilliand was a daughter of Moses and Jane Moore and sister of John Wear's wife Rebecca."
In support of this, they did name a daughter Rebecca. On John's application for a Revolutionary War pension, John Wear gives his birthdate as 12 January 1741. John Wilkinson says that John's wife Nancy Moore, the daughter of Moses and Jane Moore.

Died:
Early in the spring of 1800 John Wear, Nathan Wilkinson, and others including Obediah Lovelady journeyed in small boats from Fine's Ferry on French Broad River at the mouth of Nolachuck River destined for Boone's settlement on the Missouri River.

from Karl Kiser: Thomas as John's father is assumed because he is the person who arrives in western NC about 1750 but I have family stories of brothers immigrating to America which may confuse the issue.

from Gayle Coberly (coberly@apex2000.net) - via Sharon Long

Among the first white settlers at Barnegat New Jersey was a Thomas Lovelady. There is an island in that area named Lovelady. The will of John Wright of Burlington County, New Jersey was inventoried by the executors on July 2. 1736 and named on a list of dubious debtors was Thomas Lovelatty "who ran away". (Calendar of NJ Wills and Adm. 1730-1750 Cononial History of the Sate of NJ 1st series Vol.II pg 549. In 1735. Thomas Lovelatty, Esq. appears on the ledger of Partridge's Store in Hanover Co.. Va. Thomas Lovelatty, Esq. appears in North Carolina records in 1749 when on the 11th day of October he was qualified as one of the Justices of the Peace for Granville Co., NC. In 1752 he was appointed Vestryman St Matthew's Parish, Orange Co.

During the period (1753-1767) a road was laid out from Lovelatty's Mill on the Dan River to Salisbury. (The Rowan Story by James S. Brawley from Pat Clemons)

The minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of Rowan County show:

1753 Thomas Loveletty was member of the court and was appointed Commissioner in Wm Carrol's district.

1754 3 July Thomas Lovelatty witnessed the Rowan County deed of Robert Jones. Jr.. to Anthony Hampton. (Abstracts of Deeds of Rowan Co NC by Jo White Linn p4)
1754 9 Oct 1754 A land survey for Thomas Lovelatty of Orange County, NC. (see May 11, 1757 below) chain carriers were William Lovelatty and Marshall Lovelatty.
1755 13 March This land is identified on a deed of Wm. Churton as being on Great Troublesome Creek and the North Fork of the Haw River. His land "to begin at Loveletty's corner".

Miles Y Bridges, a professional genealogist who searched North Carolina records for a group of Lovelady researchers in 1981, states, "It appears that Thomas Lovelatty lived generally within a few miles from Reidville. N.C. in the present day Rockingham County. This would have placed him at the time of formation of Orange County appoximately on the Orange-Anson County line which became Orange-Rowan County line in 1753."

Caldwell County was formed in 1841 from Burke and Wilkes Counties. Burke was formed in 1777 from Rowan County. Apparently the Broad River referred to in these deeds was the "Second Broad River" and is now the Catawba.

See "Accounts of the store of Thomas Partridge & Co., Hanover County, VA 1734-56" by Richard Slatten and James Bagby in Magazine of Virginia Genealogy. There are family stories which refer to several brothers coming to America and that they may have been indentured servants (see the "ran away" quote in the NJ records.) Although it is a reasonable assumption there is no proof that all Lovelady's (Marshall, John, Thomas Jr., etc.) are directly descended from this Thomas (NC 1750.)

Note: The majority of the information for Lovelady Generation #1 and beyond comes from a variety of posts found online. These should be checked carefully against any available documentation. This line begins with Thomas Lovelady who appears in western North Carolina before 1750. His grandson, John Lovelady, Jr., marries into the Hughes line (Clarissa Hughes.) Members of the Wear line married into the Lovelady line.

The index shows 17 entries for LOVELATTA, LOVELATTY, John, Marshal, Moses, Thomas, Thomas Jr..The earliest reference we have of Lovelady in America is Lovelady, a village south of Old Barnegat Light in New Jersey, Ocean Co, New Jersey, named after its original owner who tradition says, was a well-to-do Englishman of the early 18th centry. Tradition aslo suggests that Loveladies Island in the same area was named for a person who received it as a grant from the King of England. Barnegat derives its name from the inlet, which was originally called Barende-gat by the Dutch discoverers on our coast. Barnende-gat, meaning an inlet with breakers, was subsequently corrupted by the Engilsh to Barndegat and finally to Barnegat. Among the first white settlers who settled at Barnegat and vicinity, were Thomas Timms, Elisha Parr, Thomas Lovelady, Jonas Tow, and a man named Vaull. The first settlers seem generally to have located on the upland near the meadows, but the nearby island has the name of Lovelady. Many will point out that none of the first settlers of Barnegat tarried for long except Jonas Tow (he built a house as early as 1720), who it is said, died before he could get away. Some of the early settlers were salt- makers, indicating salt marshes which also bread mosquitoes. Perhaps this was the reason they did not linger long in the area. The will of John Wright of New Jersey Burlington County, New Jersey, was probated in 1732. There were numerous debts owed to him. On 2 Jul 1736, the executors produced an inventory of the estate. On the list of dubious debts was Thomas Lovelatty "who ran away." The next chrological mention of Thomas Lovelety is in 1735 when his name appears on the ledger of Partridge's Store in Virginia Hanover County. His name appears on the ledger of Capt. Charles Hudson "pd Thomas Lovelety 1 sack of salt". Thomas Lovelatty Esq. first appears in North Carolina, Granville County, in 1749 when on the 11th day of Oct the justices of Granville County were ordered to qualify him as Justice of the peace for the County.

Notes:

Robert Wear was of the first generation of his family born in this country. His father was a native of Ireland, but was educated in England. A silversmith by trade, he came to America "at a very early day." Robert Wear and Rebecca Carrell were married in Bucks Co, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Rockbridge Co, Virginia. Their three children, John, Rebecca, and Samuel were married there. In 1779 they moved to Washington Co, Tennessee.
During the time of the Cherokee War they moved with their son Samuel from Green Co to Sevier Co and made their settlement and fort on the west fork of Little Pigeon River in a cove which became known as Wears Cove. They were not more than 20 (mil?)es from the enemy Indian towns on the Little Tennessee. The Indians knew the country so well that they could easily pass through and invade the weaker settlements or ambush the hunter. John Watts, a famous Cherokee warrior, the Corntassel and other warriors harassed the settlers for several years. Finally Col John Sevier and Co. Samuel Handley raised a volunteer regiment and marched against the Indians. They made peace at a council held at Telico in 1796.
Robert Wear was a strict Presbyterian and he was true to his faith. He loved all men and was not an enemy to the Indians. John Watts could have killed him many times but did not because "he do good to everybody, and why should anybody hurt him" His wife Rebecca also was held in high esteem. She was Mama Wear to all her neighbors and friends. They died 1790-1800 and are buried side by side in the old graveyard near the old fort in Sevier County.

Notable Southern Families:
COLONEL SAMUEL WEAR AND THE WEARS

The father of Elizabeth Wear who married Robert Armstrong
the Third, was Colonel Samuel Wear. The first Wear whom we
know definitely is Robert Wear, the father of Samuel. The family came from Ulster Province, Ireland, and was Scotch-Irish. Robert Wear's wife was Rebecca.

The Wears reached Augusta County, Virginia, by way of Pennsylvania and Frederick County, Virginia, like many other emigrants. The name Wear was originally de Vere which betrays the Norman origin and it can be traced in that form for hundreds of years. It is variously spelled in early histories Weir, Wier, Wear, etc., and this variation causes confusion, but Robert Wear, ancestor of the Virginia -
Tennessee family and his son Samuel Wear spelled their name Wear and both were men of education and have left written proof of this spelling, though Ramsey's Annals and other volumes in giving Colonel Wear full credit for his important service in the Revolution and early history of Tennessee spell his name Weir. He was Clerk of the State of Franklin, a signer of the Constitution of Tennessee and Clerk of the County of Sevier and signed his name literally hundreds of times.

In April 1719 a Robert Weir was one of the settlers in Nutfield, near Haverhill, Massachusetts, but in New Hampshire, under the leadership of James McKeen. It is possible that this Robert Weir was the father of Robert, whom we afterwards have located in Augusta County, Virginia.

The settlement of Nuffield was thought to be in Massachusetts, but the General Court of May, 1719, decided it was in New Hampshire. James Gregg and Robert Wear, in behalf of the Scotch Irish at Nutfield, asked the Governor and Court assembled at Portsmouth, N. H., for a township ten miles square. They and others obtained a deed from Colonel John Wheelwright. Londonberry, N. H., was then incorporated June 1722. Robert Wear's name appears on petition. The
town in December, 1719, voted to grant a lot to each of the first comers "which is the number of twenty." Robert Wear is one of these.

To Robert Wear and his wife, Martha, a daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 1723.

Bolton gives the settlers of Londonderry, N. H., in 1722, and among the names are several of interest to people reading this volume, for instance, Robert Armstrong, James, John and Robert Doak, Robert Wear, etc.

[note ~ss: These Doaks of N.H. do not appear to be of the same line of Doaks represented in this file who immigrated to Pennsylvania and later to Augusta Co. More about the N.H. Doaks here:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jacquelinesr&id=I21338 ],

Robert Weir, or Wear, probably this same Robert, was Commissioner in Antrim County, Antrim, Ireland, in I717.

In 1752 a deed is recorded to Robert Wear and John Cunningham, of eight hundred and thirty-three acres in Borden's Tract, Augusta County, Virginia, and in 1754 Borden's executors deeded two hundred and forty acres to Robert Wear. So we have the family of Robert Wear and his wife Rebecca settled in Augusta County close to the year
1750. There their children were born, including Samuel Wear, who was destined to become a distinguished pioneer of the new state of Tennessee, John Wear and probably other children whose names have not been preserved. Robert Wear was still living in the year 1789. Samuel Wear was born in Augusta County, Virginia about the year 1753.

Robert* married Rebecca* Carrell about 1740 in Bucks Co, Pennsylvania. Rebecca* (daughter of James* Carrell, Jr. (eldest) (immigrant) and Diana* Van Kirk) was born on 25 May 1725 in Bucks Co, Pennsylvania; died in 1790 in Sevierville, Sevier Co, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

from John Reedy (1/31/05)
In regards to Moses Moore, and I'm not positive that this is our guy, but he is the only one that makes sense from a standpoint of time and place (to be a daddy to Nancy and to be in Augusta Co. VA) from Lyman Chalkley's "Chronicles of the Scots-Irish in Virginia", Lyman Chalkely, 1912, Moses Moore was a prisoner taken at the Jackson River in May, 1758 (by the Indians), and later in Augusta, Administration of his estate in Aug and appraisers in Nov, 1758 would seem to point out that he died, probably as a soldier at the end of that war. There is no mention of his wife Jane, (as supposedly given) nor any mention of a daughter Nancy.

Moses* married Jane (..) Moore about 1740. Jane was born about 1710; died after 1748. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
