Notes:

"The Origin of Lovelady Gap" From Herald-Virginian, Dec 5, 1968 by Emory L. Hamilton

Lovelady Gap in Powell Mountain in Lee County has a very interesting history and the man for whom it was named has become a legendary figure.

Thomas Lovelady after whom it was named was born in Guilford Co., NC in 1750 and died in Russell County (VA) in 1840 at the venerable age of 99 years. His wife at the time of his death was 38 years younger than he and certainly must have been a second or third wife. After the death of her husband Nancy Lovelady moved to Carter County, KY.

Lovelady came to the area for the first time sometime in the late 1770's. Perhaps his reason for the first trip to the area was two fold. In his Revolutionary War pension application he tells why he came.

In company with the eleven militiamen who were returning from Cross Creek, near New Bern where they had been sent to r out some Tories. Being very tired and hungry they stopped on Stinking Creek at the home of an old Dutchman named Adam Appel and asked for food and lodging. The Dutchman, being a Tory himself, refused and the militiamen entered, helped themselves to food and bedded down upon the floor for the night, except Thomas Lovelady. The Dutchman's daughter refused to retire after being assured by Lovelady that she would not be molested. He determined to sit-it-out with her, but being extremely fatigued he finally fell asleep on his chair and sometime later awakening to find the girl gone. He immediately roused his comrades and advised them to leave, but being tired they ignored his plea. Soon the house was surrounded by a troop of Tories and one militiaman was shot dead and a Tory had his gun trained on Lovelady when one of the Tories, a former acquaintenance of Lovelady intervened. The eleven militiamen were forced to take the oath of allegience to the British King and permitted to go on their way.

Soon after leaving the Dutchman's house they met with another group of militia and together returned in search against the Tories who had vanished. Nevertheless they went in and took the Dutch girl out and gave her a sound ducking in the waters of Stinking Creek, and in the words of Lovelady: "Left her in no condition to carry messages to the Tories". Whether he means that she was drowned is not clear.

Soon after this he came to Washington County, VA, to visit a relative. This relative was none other than the wife of Amos Allerd, Lovelady's sister, who lived on Copper Creek. Sometime after this, Amos Allerd was arrested as a horse thief and confined in jail at Abingdon, but broke jail and returned to the area and in league with John Watts Crunk and some men named Shelly was again stealing horses and selling them out of the area. Allerd was hiding out in the woods, and in April 1786 he stole horses belonging to Samuel and Patrick Porter of Falling Creek. A posse of neighbors got together and agreed to waylay Allerd and take him dead or alive. Allerd had been corralling his horses in an arrow ravine where a stream empited into the mouth of a cave near Tremble's Creek in Scott County. As Allerd approached this ravine he was fired upon and killed--the first murder in Russell County (VA) and the cave is still today known as Amos Cave.

After Lovelady's visit to his sister he again returned to NC, made a trip into SC to move his Uncle who had been burned out by the Tories, afterwards returning to this area where he spent the remainder of his life.

Alfred "App" Huff who lived near Elk Knob, some four miles east of Pennington Gap was a grandson and was reared by his grandfather James Huff who was a member of the party who killed the half-breed Indian Chief Benge in 1794.

James Huff was still alive in Harlan County, KY, in 1845. App Huff remembered many Indian stories told him by his grandfather James Huff.

One of the stories told by App Huff in 1922 to the late Mr. Winfield S. Rose of Big Stone Gap, associates Thomas Lovelady with an Indian massacre on Black Mountain. The story as related by App to Mr. Rose was that a man named Breeding, his two sons, and two other men who were thought to be son-in-laws of Breeding, had set up a ginseng camp on Black Mountain and one day decided to go down to Poor Fork in Harlan Co. (KY) to do some fishing. Upon returning to camp that night they heard owls hooting around the campsite and were warned by Lovelady that the hooting owls were Indians. The ginseng diggers refused to believe him, but Lovelady being convinced they were Indians slipped out of the camp and hid himself in a hollow log where he soon became witness to the massacre of his fellowmen.

Huff states that at the time Lovelady lived in a cabin on the site of the P. Litton Farm in Lee County and traded with the Shawnee Indians, with whom he was on friendly terms.

In 1788 a letter written to the Governor of Virginia and signed by Major Anthony Bledsoe, Thomas Carter and other prominent citizens mentions that one of the Elams, Neal Robert s and three of the Breedings of the New Garden section of Russell County had been massacred at a Ginseng Camp on Black Mountain. This writer has been unable to verify the first names of Elam and the three Breedings who were killed but after much research has been determined that the "Neal" Roberts was really Thomas Cornelius Roberts who lived and owned much land in the Glade Hollow in Russell County. On Nov 19, 1788, Richard Thompson of Russell County was granted administration to the estate of Thomas Roberts. After the death of Roberts his widow, Mary married John Frost who lived in the Frost settlement on the North Fork of Holston. Some of Neal Roberts' descendants now live in the state of Oklahoma.

The site on Black Mountain where these pioneers were killed is a memorial to them with the stream today still bearing the name of Breeding's Creek. Also that Thomas Lovelady did at some time live in Turkey Cove is borne out by two land entrys in the records of Washington County, VA, in Land Entry Book 1, page the first of two is dated August 2, 1780 and reads in part: "Entered for James Thompson 200 acres in Powell Valley in Turkey Cove, near the lower end, known by the name of Lovelady's pl(ace?) and to include his improvement and also a spring half a mile above said improvement."

Joseph Boney's and Thomas Lovelady's Deposition
To be Examined and enclosed to Robert Walker, Esq., Floyd Courthouse, KY

Commence Dec. 7, 1824

************************************************************
Joseph Boney, born about 1752 in VA, was a soldier in the VA
Continental Line. He died 3 May 1826 in Floyd Co KY, so evidently lived near Pleasant Childers who was also a Floyd Co KY resident before the county boundary change, which took a portion of Floyd County to form Pike County KY in 1821.
Thomas Lovelady served with the NC Continental Line. He was born in Guilford Co NC about 1750 and later in life, after his Revolutionary War service, moved to Russell Co VA. His pension record shows that the VA troops met up with the NC Continental Line near Cross Creek, NC for a skirmish with some tories, and then again later at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.

Pension Application Of Thomas Lovelady, Natl Archives Microseries M804, Roll 1591, Application #W8065

THOMAS LOVELADY, a resident of Russell County, Virginia, aged eighty-three years:
"That he entered the service the same year that Charleston in South Carolina was taken by the British [1779]. He then resided in Guilford County in the state of North Carolina, and was drafted for a three months tour to go against a band of Tories upon Cross Creek in the vicinity of Newbern, headed by one FANNING. The said THOMAS LOVELADY then belonged to a company commanded by Captain WILLIAM BETHEL. The name of the lieutenant and ensign not now
remembered, the battalion to which his company was attached was commanded by Majors THOMAS OWENS and NELSON, and formed a part of the regiment of North Carolina militia commanded by Colonel MARTIN [although not mentioned by LOVELADY, John Paisley was serving in the same regiment as a Lieutenant Colonel under James Martin, Colonel], and served out the said tour of three months, and was discharged at Lower Little River Bridge and returned home, where he remained about ten days."

"He volunteered for a three months tour again under the same officers, marched through the country lying between Guilford and the Congaree River, into the state of South Carolina, but had hitherto been in no engagement, and after marching from point to point for the purpose of attacking the enemy, that tour of three months expired, and they were discharged and returned home."

"Twelve of his company set out together and on their return, called at the home of an old Dutch Tory by the name, he thinks, of ADAM APPLE, living on a creek called Stinking Creek, a stream he thinks, of the Big Alamance River, and asked for some refreshment, which was refused. Pinched by hunger which has few restraints, they helped themselves, and after eating, the company, except the said THOMAS LOVELADY and the Dutchman's daughter, lay down upon the floor and
went to sleep, and he requested the young lady to go to bed, assuring her that she would not be interrupted. She, however, declined, and he, knowing that they were in an enemy's home, determined not to sleep, lest she should give notice to the Tories that they were there. He however, overcome by fatigue, fell asleep in his chair, and awaking sometime afterward, missing the young lady and found she was not in the house, and immediately waked up his companions, and advised them to leave the house, but they refused, and about daybreak or a little after, the band of Tories commanded by FANNING and Major BILL NICHOLS [the ___ the same who killed WILLIAM LETCHER in bed in the Long Hollows of Dan River], came up and surrounded the house."

"FANNING, whom the Tories called Colonel, shot one of their company by the name of JOHNSTON TYLER, and was in the act of shooting the said THOMAS LOVELADY, when the said BILL NICHOLS interfered, and said that he was acquainted with
him, and had been raised with him, and by that means, saved the lives of the other eleven, but required them to take an oath, administered by the same FANNING, not to fight thereafter against his majesty, the king of Great Britain, and then released them upon a parole of honour. They then set out on their way homeward, and soon met with a company of Whigs, when six of their little party joined them, and the said THOMAS LOVELADY one of that number, and returned back to see the old Dutchman and his daughter, and their morning guests. But FANNING and his party having fled, they took the young lady into Stinking Creek and gave her a sound dunking, and left her in a situation not the best suited to carrying speedy expresses, and returned homeward."

"Reached home sometime afterward and soon made a visit to see a sister living in the then County of Washington, but now County of Scott, in the state of Virginia, where he volunteered under Captain MONTGOMERY, Lieutenant DANIEL
FRAZER, commanded by Colonel EVAN SHELBY, to go against the Chickamaugy Indians on the Tennessee River."

"They went down by water from the Long Island of Holston, and took from the Indians a good many horses and cattle, and after some little skirmishes, returned back to Washington County aforesaid, after having been in that service three months."

"Some time afterward, he returned home to Guilford County in the state of North Carolina and went with two horses at the request of his father, to the state of South Carolina to aid an uncle in removing to Guilford County in North Carolina, where property had been taken away from him by the Tories; and whilst there, enlisted for nine months with Captain ANDERSON, a recruiting officer, and was marched by him and Major ANDERSON, from point to point as the depradations of the British and Tories might require; until a few days before the Battle of the Cowpens, when they joined the Old Waggoner, Colonel MORGAN, and remained with him until after that battle, and fought with him on that memorable occasion, which by the united efforts of Colonel LEE, and the brave
Colonel WASHINGTON, ended in the complete discomfiture of TARLETON and his troops, and in which TARLETON narrowly escaped the pursuit of the intrepid Colonel WASHINGTON. Continued their marches from place to place, annoying the
enemy and defending the country, until the nine months for which he had enlisted expired, when they were discharged and returned home."

"Sometime afterwards he visited his relations in Washington County in the state of Virginia again, and again volunteered for no certain time, with Captain EDMISTON, Major DASEY, Colonel WILLIAM CAMPBELL, Colonel SHELBY and Colonel SEVIER, to go against the British forces in the south, whence they
marched, and after crossing the Blue Ridge into the state of S. Carolina, they formed a junction with Colonel BENJAMIN CLEVELAND. All the forces then were put under the command of Colonel CAMPBELL. They then pursued the British under the
command of FERGUSON, until the two armies met upon the top of King?s Mountain, where a most spirited and bloody engagement took place, which resulted in the death of FERGUSON, and about 400 of his men killed, and about 1200 taken prisoners."

"Marched on from there with the said army, guarding the said prisoners, until they reached Wilkes (old Courthouse) in North Carolina, whence he and with others from the same section of country, was discharged, after having been in
service of the country three months, and returned back to the County of Washington, where he remained until sometime in the winter, he thinks in the month of January."

"When he volunteered again at Abingdon, in the state of Virginia, under Captain MONTGOMERY for another expedition to the south against the British forces under CORNWALLIS, who was said to be pillaging and devastating the southern country. He was then commanded again by his old leader Colonel CAMPBELL, who feared neither Tory nor British redcoat, and marched from Abingdon by the lead mines upon New River, on to the Moravian Towns in North Carolina, in number about 1200 riflemen, and from thence to Guilford County in the same state, where they got upon the pursuit of CORNWALLIS, followed him nearly to Boyd Ferry on Dan River, when he took a turn round through Caswell County in the direction of the Reedy Fork of Haw River."

"Colonel CAMPBELL took a nearer route and intercepted him at Whitesell's Mills, when Colonel CAMPBELL found it necessary after a short engagement, to order a retreat, and was closely pursued, and would probably have been taken or cut to pieces but for the timely succor of Colonels WASHINGTON and LEE, who covered the retreat and then saved us from an enemy only superior in numbers. A few days after, Colonel CAMPBELL offered to let his riflemen return home, many of
whom had lost their horses and blankets, and were badly equipped for a winter campaign, and nearly all of them accepted his kind offer. The said LOVELADY and 10 or 11 others remained with their old Colonel, and told him they wanted one more shooting match with the red coats, and sure enough, they got it."

"They were then attached to a company commanded by Captain PERKINS, and the same day joined the army commanded by General GREENE. The two armies seemed to be watching the movements of each other, and maneuvering about for several
days, until they came together about one half mile from Guilford Courthouse, where the engagement commenced, which occupied a good part of the day and ended at the said Courthouse."

"And after a very bloody engagement, in which many were killed on both sides, General GREENE ordered a retreat, and his forces were marched to Perkins's Iron Works, upon Troublesome Creek about 10 or 12 miles distant. They returned back the next day to Guilford Courthouse, and found that CORNWALLIS had buried his dead in rather a hasty manner, and left the ground. General GREENE had our killed [men] buried, and again pursued CORNWALLIS to Ramsour's Mills, where the Virginia troops were discharged, and the said LOVELADY returned back to Washington County in the State of Virginia, after having been in the service that tour three months."

"That in the month of September next, preceding the Battle at Little York in the state of Virginia, himself and six others left home to find their old Colonel CAMPBELL, who was yet in the army, and arrived in Richmond whilst he was there sick, and of that sickness died at that place, and they turned about and returned back to Washington County in Virginia. He, after peace was declared, went to the state of Georgia to live, and whilst there, had the misfortune to have his house burned, and with it, all of his several discharges and everything in his house, which was done by a party of Indians, so that he cannot now produce that evidence of his services, etc."

"And on the same day, before the same court, came HENRY INGLE, who, after being first duly sworn, etc, deposeth that after the Battle at Guilford Courthouse in the state of North Carolina, he saw THOMAS LOVELADY in the army under the command of General GREENE, and knows that the said LOVELADY is the same person who has sworn to and subscribed the foregoing declaration, but how long the said LOVELADY served in the War of the Revolution, the said HENRY INGLE does not know. That he remembers many of the incidents mentioned by the said THOMAS LOVELADY in his declaration aforesaid"

"Personally appeared, JAMES ROSE, a witness on behalf of THOMAS LOVELADY" who saith that THOMAS LOVELADY "was in the army with this affiant at Chesterfield Barracks in the month of December next preceding the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in the state of North Carolina, where they remained together a few weeks, and separated, and the said LOVELADY was sent with a party to take a dispatch from Colonel WILLIAM DAVIE at the said Barracks, to Colonel WILLIAM CAMPBELL, who was said to be at the lead mines upon New River."

"This affiant moreover, declares that from the time at which they separated as aforesaid, at the Chesterfield Barracks, he saw nothing of the said LOVELADY until the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, when he again saw the said LOVELADY in the American Army under the command of the said Colonel
WILLIAM CAMPBELL, and remained there in the neighborhood of that place, occasionally together for about a week. This affiant is the more certain and distinct in his recollection as to the facts which he states from the circumstances of himself being at that time an invalid nearly, from an injury
which he had before received in the left leg, and was helped into a wagon by the said LOVELADY on the day of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse aforesaid."

"This affiant moreover declares that from recent conversations with the said LOVELADY and the narrative which he gives of the circumstances and events which were notorious throughout the army in which he served, and of which this affiant has an indelible recollection, he verily believes that the said LOVELADY was in the army at other times, than when he said he saw him as aforesaid, and that he does not doubt that the said LOVELADY served as he
states in his said declaration. This affiant is the more confirmed in this belief from a perfect recollection of hearing many of the incidents stated in the said declaration, at the time at which they are therein stated to have occurred and as the said incidents were chiefly known to those who were actually in the army, and from the further impression that he then had, that the said LOVELADY was regarded as a valiant and fearless soldier and devoted to
his leader, Colonel WILLIAM CAMPBELL, of whom the said LOVELADY has always expressed? them and ___ in terms of highest admiration, etc."

"Personally appeared JOHN HACKNEY, an aged and reputable witness, and who has for many years been a resident of the said County of Russell, and who has for many years been receiving a pension from the United States, and who after being first duly sworn?saith that he was acquainted with THOMAS LOVELADY in the Revolutionary War and that the said LOVELADY belonged to a company commanded by Captain ANDERSON, who as this affiant now thinks, was a regular
officer, and another officer called and known as Major ANDERSON, of Colonel LEE's infantry."

"That he remembers well that the said LOVELADY was in the Battle of the Cowpens and also in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in the state of North Carolina. That he became acquainted with the said LOVELADY sometime before the Battle at the Cowpens, and although they were occasionally separated in the service, that he saw the said LOVELADY frequently between that time and the time of the Battle at Guilford Courthouse, and that he saw him there, and knows that during that time, the said LOVELADY was regarded by all who knew him, to be a good and faithful soldier. That they retreated from Guilford Courthouse by order of General GREENE to Perkins Old Ironworks upon Troublesome Creek, and remained in the same army together for some time, and were, by the order of their officers, separated and never met again until they met in the said county of Russell."

"That from the time he first saw the said LOVELADY until he saw him last in the War of the Revolution, that he is morally certain that the said LOVELADY was in the service of the Revolution in the states of South and North Carolina under the command of Captain and Major ANDERSON, fully nine months. That he now recognizes the identity of the person of the said Thomas Lovelady, and that the said Thomas Lovelady in relation to whose service in the War of the Revolution this affiant has herein testified, is the same Thomas Lovelady who swore to the foregoing interrogatories, and who swore to and subscribed his original declaration in this Court on the 8th day of January, 1834.

Questions by the Court:
1. Where and when were you born?
I was born in Guilford County in the state of North Carolina in the year 1750.

2. Have you any record of your age; and if so, where is it?
I have the record of my age, in an old family prayerbook, now in my house.

3. Where were you living when called into service, where have you lived since the Revolutionary War, and where do you now live?
I was, when first called into service, living in my native county, Guilford, North Carolina. Since the Revolutionary War, I have lived in the state of Georgia, also in the counties of Washington, Augusta and Russell, in the state
of Virginia, and was living in the last named county at the time of the late war, at which time, although old, I enlisted and went into the service again as a regular soldier. Served out the term of my enlistment, returned to the county of Russell again, where has lived ever since.

4. How were you called into service? Were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute, and if a substitute, for whom?
According to my best recollection at this time, in which I believe I am correct, I was first drafted in Guilford County, North Carolina for a tour of three months under Captain BETHEL, Major THOMAS OWENS, and Major ___ NELSON and
Colonel MARTIN. [John Paisley was Lt. Colonel in this same regiment, during this time, although not here mentioned by Lovelady.] Afterward I volunteered for another tour of three months, commanded by the same officers. Afterward, I
volunteered in the then County of Washington, VA for another tour of three months, to go against the Chickamoggy Indians then on the Tennessee River, was commanded in that expedition by Captain MONTGOMERY, Lieutenant FRAZER, and
Colonel SHELBY. I afterwards enlisted in the state of South Carolina for a tour of nine months and served under Captain ANDERSON and remained with him and Major ANDERSON until the Battle of the Cowpens. I afterward volunteered again
Captain WILLIAM EDMISTON, Major DAVIE, Colonels WILLIAM CAMPBELL and SHELBY and SEVIER, but if for any specified time. I do not now remember, but am ___morally certain that the time exceeded three months, but will say that upon that
occasion, he was in the service three months at the least. I again volunteered afterward at Abingdon, VA under Captain MONTGOMERY for another tour of three months in an expedition to the south, and was commanded again by Colonel
WILLIAM CAMPBELL.

5. State the names of some of the regular officers who were with the troops were you served, such Continental and militia regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your service.
I remember that Captain ANDERSON whom I mentioned was a regular recruiting officer. Colonel MORGAN was also sometimes in the same service with, at one time, the company to which I belonged was attached to the 6th or 7th
regiment of Virginia infantry, and marched sometimes before and sometimes in the rear of the cavalry. I remember also Colonel WILLIAM DAVIE who was with us at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. At the same time and place, was also,
General GREENE. I do not remember sufficiently well to name any particular Continentals or militia regiments further than I have already stated in this and my original declaration.

6. Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so by whom was it given, and what has become of it?
I received a discharge from the recruiting officer Captain ANDERSON, one from Colonel MARTIN, whom I have mentioned, and who was as I afterward understood, promoted to the high appointment of General; one from Captain WILLIAM BETHEL, and another from Captain MONTGOMERY. All of which several
discharges were afterwards destroyed by fire by the burning of my house in Elbert County upon Broad River in the state of Georgia, by the Indians, after the termination of the Revolutionary War, at which time almost everything he
possessed was also destroyed, and my wife narrowly escaped as the Indians were approaching."

7. State the names of person to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution?

Answer. George Gose, Eaquire, John Bickley, P. Master at Bickleys Mills, Major James Dickenson, Rev. Christian Easterly, Colonel Abel Alderson, Capt. Oscar Love, Sabastian H. Bickley, Esq., and Major Hnery Dickenson.

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 IGI and a few other sources suggest that the English countryside north of Liverpool (Lanchashire County and possibly Cumbria) would be good places to research the Lovelady name." 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. Other names that seem to be associated with the Lovelady's and bear further research are Carter, Wilkinson, Vanhooser, Wicher/Witcher and Morgan.
In 1753 fourteen Justices of the Peace for Rowan County, NC: Walter Carruth, John Brandon, Thomas Lovelatty, James Carter, Thomas Cook, Squire Boone (father of Daniel Boone), Thomas Potts, George Smith, John Habley (Hanby), James Tate, Andrew Allison, Alexander Osborne, John Brevard, and Alexander Cathey, names which appeared as friends and neighbors on legal instruments for generations. Justices of the Peace at that time in history were a representative of a large area and served much as our present day Judges and Representatives Ruth Herndon Shields, Orange County, N.C. Abstracts of the Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions of: Sept. 1752-Aug. 1766 (Greenville, South Carolina: Southern Historical Press, Inc., 1991). 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. In 1753 fourteen Justices of the Peace for Rowan County, NC: Walter Carruth, John Brandon, Thomas Lovelatty, James Carter, Thomas Cook, Squire Boone (father of Daniel Boone), Thomas Potts, George Smith, John Habley (Hanby), James Tate, Andrew Allison, Alexander Osborne, John Brevard, and Alexander Cathey, names which appeared as friends and neighbors on legal instruments for generations.
