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?
