Comments: I was wondering if you have any information concerning Sarah Lovelady being Native American. My husband is descended from her and her husband, George T. Brinley. One resource, the Brinley book makes a reference to her being Native American and tells the story that her father and one of her brothers were killed and Sarah and her sister, Nancy, were sent to live with a relative in Kentucky.

My research indicates that my Sarah Lovelady is actually Sarah Elizabeth Lovelady. She was born 12 January 1846 in Georgia to Abner P. Lovelady (1807-1860) and Mary Elizabeth West (1808-1860). I am not sure if she has gotten confused with other Sarah Loveladys...

Note: Website: http://brinley.net/reports/brinly/brinly.html
states:
Some of the old records show the name as Lovelace, instead of Lovelady.
Great grandson Stanley Brinley said Sarah Lovelady full blooded Cherokee Indian
also states:
We have been told Sarah's last name was Lovelady and Lovelace. The death certificate of her son Samuel, shows her last name as Lovelace. Other records have Lovelady. The marriage certificate to her marriage to George T. Brinley shows her born in Georgia, with name of Lovelady.
It should be noted, it appears Sarah married Andrew Moore, after George died. We have a census, which is contained in John Brinley file, where John lists a group of Moore's as brothers and sister, Andrew Moore as father and Sarah Moore as mother.
From the marriage certificate
G. T. Brinley of Jefferson County, Kentucky age 21:
Note: The way the hand writing is written, it was difficult to be certain of the age.
Sarah E. Lovelady, born in Georgia, with residence of Georgia age 17. Again difficult to read. Some reading the papers thinks she was 14.
Dated 9 DEC 1865. Again difficult to read.
End of marriage certificate
Note from Anna Belle Bond Brinley writes:
Geo. T. Brinley and Sarah Lovelady were married 10 DEC 1865. It's not plain on the license or whatever.
Told to us by Anna Belle Brinley
The father of the Lovelady family was an Indian and lived in Georgia. Someone set their house on fire in Georgia and killed Sarah's and Nancy's father and their two brothers. The mother sent Sarah and Nancy to the Louisville area.
Nothing is known, what happened to the mother.
Sarah married George T. Brinley while her sister, Nancy married George Potts. George Potts and Nancy had a daughter Lillie who married William Vance Brinley, who was a grandson of Sarah.
George Brinley and Sarah had a son Samuel who had a son William Vance Brinley. William Vance Brinley marries Lillie Potts.
the site also notes:
Note: This Sarah Lovelady would have to be a different Sarah Lovelady if she was 45 in 1908, as she wouldn't have been born until 1864. George and Sarah Lovelady were married in 1865. The following is being added because this is a different Sarah Lovelady and may help someone else in their research.
We were sent some papers where "exception cases" were filed.
One was Sarah Lovelady, as follows:
I am 45 years of age; born in Polk County, Tennessee. I claim Indian blood through my father and mother. I have never received any Indian money from the government nor did my father and mother. They never made application for any Indian money that I know of. I never saw my grandparents. They lived in Haywood County from what I have heard.
My mother has been dead ten years. My parents lived among the Indians but lived as white people. My father was a voter. Twenty-five years ago I lived in Hamilton County, Tennessee. I never heard of Hester, the government agent. In 1851 my mother lived in Ducktown, Polk County, Tennessee.
Signed Sarah Lovelady, Blue Ridge, Georgia 13 JUL 1908.
End of Sarah's exception
Note: This Sarah Lovelady would have to be a different Sarah Lovelady if she was 45 in 1908, as she wouldn't have been born until 1864. George and Sarah Lovelady were married in 1865.
There was "support information" filed on behalf of Sarah by her sister, Margaret
I am a sister of Sarah Lovelady; am 62 years of age; was born in Fannin County, Georgia. I have never received any Indian money from the government. I do not know why my mother or father never received any Indian money. My father and mother never tried to get an allotment. I tried to get an allotment twelve years ago but did not get it. The man who had my claim went out there. He said he was two days too late. My father and mother were both recognized white people. I saw my mother's father in Polk County. He was part Indian. He was a farmer. I saw my grandmother who was the wife of the grandfather just spoken of. My father's parents lived in Cherokee County, N.C. Never saw them. 25 years ago I lived in Fannin County. I never heard of Hester, the enrolling agent and he never took my name. First heard of my Indian blood a good many years ago. My folks told me and other people. My mother's father was a voter. signed Margaret Williamson, Blue Ridge, Georgia, 13 Jul 1809 (sic 1909)

Hi, Starla.
I?ve been devling back in the Loveladys, came back across this about the Lovelady sisters Sarah Brinley and Nancy Potts. and thought I?d see what I could come up with on this. I found the Brinley article you referred to here:
http://brinley.net/reports/brinly/brinly.html and just scantily built up my database a bit related to the Brinley/Lovelady portion of the line.
According to this, it seems known that Nancy Lovelady Potts was a known sister to Sarah Lovelady Brinley; and I found a death record for Nancy Potts that states her father?s name, and thereby Sarah?s, as Hudlow Lovelady. They indicated their father was born in Georgia in census records. Both Abner P and his wife Eliz West were apparently b South Carolina, but they did have a Sarah E b 1846 & Nancy b 1849. I couldn?t find a Hudlow Lovelady, but I did find a family of Hudlows marrying into the Loveladys ? (Thomas Hudlow m Sarah Ance Lovelady).
http://sherrysharp.com/genealogy/descendtext.php?personID=I63633&tree=Roots&generations=
Sarah Ance b 1844 GA, was dau of Andrew Jackson Lovelady (brother of Abner P.) & Sarah Monroe. Andrew Jackson Lovelady married and died in Cherokee Co, Georgia, as was mentioned by the sisters Sarah (b 1863) and Margaret (b 1847) who spoke of their Indian heritage. So, not the same Sarahs but apparently they fit in somewhere in this general line.
I?ve been looking at this a few days and trying to clean it up, but I just can?t pull it together with the facts given in the girls statements to figure out who is supposed to be Indian.
My line is from Thomas Lovelady Sr/Hannah Hix. They were not Indian.
All I know about their son Jesse is he had one son John in SC and I do not know his wife. She might could be Indian as there doesn?t seem to be a record of her ? thereby making Abner and Andrew Jackson possibly 1/2 Indian. I think the sisters who wrote the exceptions are probably from this line somewhere.
The death record showing Nancy Potts? father as Hudlow, though, does throw a wrench in her father, and thereby Sarah Brinley?s father ? as being Abner, if Nancy and Sarah are known to be sisters.
Love to hear your thoughts. Would be nice to figure it out.
my best,
Sherry
