Notes:

Due to a land sale of James Jr that John Reedy found and a 1820 census for James Sr, we think that James who went to Collins Co, Texas, was indeed, James & Nancy's son. I assume that Amos also had a son James since there was a confusion of the two.

from Karl Kiser (3/2/10) James Lovelady jr is not a son of James Lovelady sr (Nancy probably Linville?) according to Wilma Moore. She researched the issue and concluded that James jr is the son of Amos son of Marshall. The use of sr and jr can also mean older and younger rather than father and son. James sr would then be a second cousin to James jr.

note, through all the letters and research of the three Lovelady sisters, and James and Nancy, nothing indicated there was more than the three girls who all died as young women.

Article by Wilma Moore that Karl referred to is attached.

In Reply to: William Lewis/Catherine Travis by: Myrl Ross

I am Teresa Lovelady Partlow. I'm from Kenneth Ray Lovelady b:1932, Earnest Milford Lovelady, Pleasant Travis Lovelady b:1852, James Lovelady b:1816 (husband of Catherine Travis). I've tracked my Lovelady line through Texas, Platte Co. MO, White Co., TN, Greene Co., TN and North Carolina. I have more info back home in Salt Lake City in binders. Let me know if you're still working on this line and I'll send what I have. Merry Christmas.

===============



Name:
He is sometimes shown as James L. Lovelady (such as findagrave and other places); however:
(from Wilma Moore via Karl Kiser)
"James Lovelady never had a middle name. Last night I dug out my photos from Oct. 1997 when I went to Fitzhugh Cemetery. I used shaving cream on the tombstones that I photographed. They are clear as day. His name is "James Lovelady"; no middle initial.

www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=76357646

I have all kinds of records on him, including Mexican War, Civil War, land records, and his Lovelady bible records. I have been to the cemetery and photographed his grave as well as those of other family members. He has never had a middle initial of "L" or any other middle initial.

The "junior" designation/reference to him in Missouri church records is most likely to distinguish him from the older cousin James (***your line*** ) in the same congregation."


Religion:
James and Elizabeth were among five charter members of Forest Grove Christian Church, as noted in Elizabeth's obituary in the McKinney Democrat. James was serving as a church deacon in September 1850, according to J. B. Wilmoth's [sic] report to the editor of Christian Record, a church newspaper published in Bloomington, Indiana.
from: Lovelady,_James_Eurath_Lewis_by_Moore_2_.doc


Military:
"Shortly after his Texas arrival, James enlisted 24 July 1846, to fight in the Mexican War, serving in Captain Andrew Ste[a]pp's Independent Company of Texas Mounted Volunteers. Wife Elizabeth later received a pension on James' Mexican War service."

Notes:

Marshall Lovelady could have been born in Hanover Co., Va or in Orange Co., NC. He married Hannah. His will is dated 10 April 1792. It is witnessed by Joseph Lovelady, John Mahan, and Barefoot Runyon. It was probated fourth Monday, January, 1, Jefferson County, Tn, Minute Book 1, p.8, Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville. Microfilm Roll 35. He is probably buried in the Shiloh Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee, although his grave in not marked. (ref Sevier County, TN. Will book 2 pp 117-118 "will of Elizabeth Lovelady"

He was a Revolutionary soldier. (Ref: Tennessee Soldiers in the Revolution by Penolope Johnson Allen.)

The first record for Marshall Lovelatty was in 1754 when he was a chain carrier on a land survey for Thomas Lovelatty in Orange County, NC. Later records place him in Orange County l763-4. (Orange Co Court Minutes 1752-1766 by Shields)

From North Carolina Land Grants in South Carolina by Brent Holcomb pg 88 As is shown described as being on N W branch of Broad River below Loveletty's land. On pg. 80 we find Marshall in Mecklinburg Co NC with his 200 acres of land on Abbertons Creek at Thomas Loveletty's corner 28 April 1768. In 1769 he is shown as a chain bearer along with John Loveletty. [File #2374, Grant no.134 Bk 23 p.208 Mecklinburg Co NC] On page 157 Tryon Co.,a survey done for George Pee lists Marshel Lovelety as one of the chain bearers. Also on the same page, a survey for Joseph Neal Feb 3, .1769 shows John Loveletty and Marshal Loveletty as chain bearers.

15 April 1775 both Marshall and John sign a petition to the King for relief. The lands were in dispute with South Carolina. This is the precursor to the Mecklinburg Declaration. We also find John and James Mahan in the same area at the same time. In 1770 Marshall purchased 200 acres from Thomas Lovelatty for 5 shillings. He sold this land to John Lovelatty in 1771 for 20 pounds.

June 24, 1779 # 1480 Greene County 100 acres for Marshall Lovelady, joining Marshall Lovelady on the Cedar Branch. 1782 North Carolina grant #212 to George Taylor for 200 acres of Frank Holleys, on branch of Nolachucky River includes "an improvement made by Maltial Loveletty". (Washington Co, TN Deeds 1775-1800)

1787 Grant 100 acres on the Cedar Branch, Green Co Tn bordering Barnette Brumley granted by State of North Carolina. This land was sold to John Bird on 27 January 1790 (Green Co Tn Ieeed Bk 2 pg 165)

In 1780 he, along with Jacob Reynolds and David Reynolds, regained arms and ammunition which had been taken away form them. (Washington Co TN County Court Minute Books. Vol 1 1778-1799 pg 125)

Marshall was enumerated on an inventory of taxable property in Washington County, Tenn. in 1781 with horses and cattle valued at 650 Pounds. but no land [Early East Tennessee Taxpayers by Pollyana Creekmore)

He was on the 1783 tax list in Greene County, North Carolina which became Tennessee in 1796. This means that his children were born in North Carolina. His wife's maiden name is generally accepted as Ware (no relation to Jane Wear who m. Thos. Lovelady) The proof is said to be in the Zylks Bible, but the whereabouts of this Bible is unknown. The Houston family papers show a Thomas Wier witness to George Houston will of Sept 18, 1778 in Mecklinburg Co. Thomas Wier was brother to Margaret, widow of George Houston. 1773 in Craven Co George Weir and Mary his wife sell land to Thomas Houston. This same land had been sold to Samuel Weir in 1790. This shows that there were Weir families in the same area, and could have possibly been kin to Marshall's wife Hannah.
