Notes:

{Note: Information on the parents and grandparents of Thomas Lovelady was furnished by Sharon Long; JGustaf114@aol.com}

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.

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?

Transcription of text
Detail
Page 51.
Date
1892
Other information
This comes from a letter from a grandson of John Lovelady, from Cave Creek, Newton County, Arkansas written to John W. Bowens, author of an 1892 History of Smith County, Tennessee, and quoted in his book. The book, apparently typed and "self-published" is a classic on the county and is available at the Tennessee State Library and Archives.



Military:
Probably the John Lovelady listed on those who served at Battle of King Mountain - along with James and Marshall Lovelady.
http://www.tngenweb.org/revwar/counties/greene/1783.html

John* married Sarah* Morgan(?) about 1760. Sarah* was born about 1740; died after 1790. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military: Between 1775 and 1783, Revolutionary War, Smith Co, Tennessee

Notes:

Some researches show Sarah Morgan as spouse; however that appears to be conjecture only and so far, no found basis. (see note of husband)

Name:
Some researchers show her to be Sarah Morgan but it was only put forward as speculation by researcher Dave McDonald and others. It is not verified or substantiated.
From Karl Kiser: The early ancestors are a mystery. John is a good possible father of Thomas. I do not know his wife. I have seen Sarah Morgan but never good documentation on the marriage.
Note: He had a daughter named Sarah and a son named "Morgan," so until further is learned, will stay with Sarah Morgan.

Some researchers are showing a wife Agnes Merchant.
This union is not correct.

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.
