Most researchers call him Obed. In those days a child was often named by looking in the Bible. I am sure therefore that he was named Obediah, but went by Obed.

Obed was one of the 'hands on board' early in the Spring of 1800 when John Wear, Nathan Wilkinson, John Berry, George Meyers, Elizabeth Grey and their families took small boats at Fine's Ferry, on the French Broad River at the mouth of the Nolachucky River and sailed for Boone's settlement on the Missouri River. (Autobiography and Historical Reminiscences by John W. Wilkinson)

From 1808 to l8l0 Obid received land grants in Sevier Co. TN. (Early Tennessee Land Grants LDS film 10002736) He also signed the Petition from French Broad and Holston Country in 1813 with Stephen and Amos Lovelady. ("Petition from Fr..Broad.and.Holston Country Sept 22 l8l3" (Ansearchin' News v.13, 1966))

In l815 Obed and his family of nine members were enumerated in Monroe Co.(Ala) Miss. Territory. He purchased land in Shelby County. Ala. in 1819 as shown by records in the Cahaba Land Office. The tract book for Sumter Co. Ala.shows that Obed puchased land in Township 21Rnage 3 West from the United States In 1830. In 1827 Obed was appointed guardian of Mary and Anny Lovelady, children of Stephen Lovelady. The securities were William Lovelady and James Moore. April 4, 1831 Obed presented his account for final settlement of his guardianship. Obed and others in his family- Aaron and Rhoda Crowson, William Calloway, Cyrus Lovelady, West Lovelady and Leroy Massengale all acquired land in Sumter Co Ala. He sold land in this section on Booka Creek in 1837. Obed is shown on the 1840 Noxubee, MS census, living side by side with West and J.L. Lovelady. Obed had 13 slaves as did West, and J.L. had 15. (this is undoubtly John Scott Lovelady and the researcher misread the L for S.

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.

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.

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."

The foregoing grants were in Mecklinburg Co. NC at the time. There were numerous references made to Abitton's Creek (various spellings). Abington's Creek (sometimes called Greasy Creek) is in SW Caldwell County. On an 1850 Burke County, N.C. map Lovelady Ford is found on the Catawaba River crossing from present day Caldwell Country to Burke County. There is a Lovelady Road nearby. 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.

Possible mentions of Thomas Sr. prior to 1750 in NC. (note: several variation of the spelling of Lovelady) A will of John Wright 1732, Burlington County, N. J. In 1736 executors note a debt by Thomas Lovelatty (an indentured servants) "who ran away" See Colonial History of the State of New Jersey 1st series, vll, p549. Thomas Lovelety on ledger of Partridge store in Hanover, VA 1735. 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.)

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. In 1752 Thomas Loveletter was appointed Vestryman St. Matthew's Parish, Orange County. ***came from notes of Mary Ehlers and Wilma Baldwin Moore.

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.)

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.
