• Name	John W. Lovelady
  Born	1795	Greene Co (prob), Tennessee
  Gender	Male
  Residence	Between 1817 and 1818	Lafayette Co, Missouri
  	The History of Lafayette County MO (page 414) tells us that the first settlement was made by John Lovelady and Solomon Cox in 1817 and this was a half mile west of present-day Dover, MO. James Bounds Sr., James Bounds Jr., Obadiah Bounds, William R. Cole are also mentioned here. Christopher Jago, Wm. Carpenter and John Parkerson, all from TN in 1819 and Zachariah Linville, a Stonite preacher, Martin Trapp, a reformed preacher, John Welsh, Jesse Nelson, Enoch Fox, Wm. Fox (they both say Fox, but are likely to be Cox), Dyer Cash and Joseph Cantrell all came in 1818. I searched each of these names in the 1800, 1810, 1830 census records and none are from SC. The History of Lafayette County (page 415) also tells us that James? older brother John Lovelady was the first marriage in the county, in January, 1818 to Miss Mary Cox, daughter of Enoch Cox of Grayson Co. VA, and their twin daughters were the first children later that year. (John Reedy)

  	letter
  	referred to by nephew Joseph R. Young in letter written to James and Nancy Lovelady: I saw Uncle John Lovelady at Dover [Lafayette county, MO] while on the raid with Price the fall of 64. He looked stout and scarcely a gray hair in his head. I had been on a scout out near the groves(?) and I saw at least 20 thousand Federals [numbers seem high in the letter] bearing (?) on our left and being in command of the scout [assume NCO or junior officer] I had to report to Price under the spur and did not get to talk to Uncle John. We fought that evening at Lexington, 2 days after at Blue Mills. Next day at Big Blue [ a river ]. I fought at your old place near Blue Bridge.
