Mabra Madden Jones and James Lovelady Families

Mabra Madden Jones and James Lovelady Families

Mabra Jones and wife Sarah Lovelady, daughter of Rev James Lovelady and Nancy Linville (maiden name unproven) - this family settled in Dewitt and Lavaca counties area of Texas before 1850, eventually spreading out to places like Waco and Beaumont and Palestine. This album is dedicated to that family unit. Letters written by some of these family members, mostly Mary Jones, are included. These letters span a time from 1855 on through in the 1920s. They were transcribed and supplied to me by Leonard Meyer in the late 1990s. He was from Halletsville and a descendent of the Butts, Bounds, Coolie families. James Lovelady's daughter Jane died with a young family of her own. Her husband, Andrew Butts, stayed a "son" to the family, even after he remarried Susan Bounds. Susan became the beloved Aunt to the Jones children who most of these letters were written to. While the Jones children were still young, Sarah Lovelady, daughter of James, and sister to Jane, died at an early age. Mabra remarried Martha Ponton and had several more children. But it's through these letters that we get a good view of the whole family and indeed brings them all to life and allows us to share their memories.

from Mary M Jones to her aunt, Susan Bounds Butts. Mentions some friends, one being that Susan received a letter from Aurela Seal. Aurela. a child at this time, was the same age as Susan (b 1846), and was the daughter of John Seal, a blacksmith, and his wife Eliza. They were from Mississippi and living in Victoria (1850 census). Mabra worked as a blacksmith, as well, in Victoria; so quite likely he was a co-worker and family friends.

Letter - 1860, 02/06		Letter - 1860, 02/06
from Mary M Jones to Aunt Susan Bounds and cousins. Told of how cold it was, and that Poppa preached at a house nearby, and coming back they ran into some people and they went to Dr. Throckmorton's and had dinner on the Cabeza; but Poppa went the other way. (d)

Note: "Dr. Throckmorton" was listed in the Goliad County census the following July. He's listed as John, a physician, age 35, but he didn't know where he was born. He had a wife and six kids ranging from 16 to 6, born in Arkansas and Texas. He also was a slave owner, as listed in slave schedule.
George (Mary's brother) was studying to be a doctor in Goliad County. Can't help but wonder if Dr. Throckmorton somehow assisted him in his studies.

Letter - 1860, 07/11		Letter - 1860, 07/11
from Mary to Aunt Susan Bounds Butts, referencing her new bro, Andrew (my g-gf), and other family news. Written in Dewitt Co, mailed from Helena, Texas.

"Mr. Bean" referred to in this letter was Russell Bean, a 30 yr-old gentleman from Alabama, with a wife and two small children. She states Mr. Bean had bought Uncle "Alec's property and had a wonderful well, sustaining 4 families thru a drought. She states that he had been hurt in an explosion while blasting a well for George Jacobs who was son of Andrew Jacobs.
A.J. Jacobs and Bean were neighbors with only one residence between them. George Jacobs was connected to the Jones family by marriage as his sister-in-law Julie Wilcox was 2nd wife of Alfred Allee, who was widower of Ann Lovelady, daughter of James and Nancy Lovelady. George was living next door to the Loveladys.

Thanks to Geneva Garrett's voluntary search, she found the transaction where Russell Bean bought 252 acres from A. Allee, etux (Book J pg 239)
A. Allee must be Alfred Allee, who was indeed Mary's uncle, but odd that he would be referred to as "Uncle Alec."

She also states "Pap and Grandma talks of going to the mountains they have sold their cattle." (Pap=James Lovelady; Grandma=Nancy)

She also mentions of Ann Bosworth's marriage: "I was surprised to hear of Ann’s wedding. I think she is quite young."

from Mary M Jones Norton to Aunt Susan, about her life and family, etc, including telling Susan "Frances wrote to me not long since. She said for me to tell you your Father (John Bounds) was dead. Her Ma (Martha Bounds Bosworth) had got a letter from some one there."
Martha and Susan were sisters, John's daughters. He had died in 1867, four years prior, in Lee County, about 75 miles north of Lavaca County. Sad it took his daughters so long to get word he died.

She again mentions "Martha," but not sure who Martha is.

Mrs. Upchurch who is mentioned is probably Mary Olevia Beshears Upchurch, wife of Alexander Upchurch. Alexander's mother was Delaney Butts, half-sister of Susan's husband, Andrew Jackson Butts - i.e. her nephew, and is the same "Mr. Upchurch" who Mary's brother George sent his regards to in his letter to John Butts more than 10 years prior.

Mary M Jones Norton to her beloved aunt, lamenting about family affairs and speaks word that Pa had moved into the "Devils Pocket" (?), and speaks of her and Mr. Norton's possible move to Northern Texas.
She speaks of a family Rabb. Mrs. Rabb was a Jones, and interestingly enough, they lived next door to the Loveladys and only a two or three residences down from the Mabra Jones in Dewitt County in 1860. However, further research has not found any connection of the two Jones families. Ulysses Rabb served as sheriff in Fayette County in the 1880s.

Letter - 1903, 11/ (about), Winter		Letter - 1903, 11/ (about), Winter
from Stephen Lovelady Jones, typed on Waco-Times Hearld letterhead, to his cousin, Berry Butts. Speaks of the convenience of paved roads.

Letter is not dated, but he states he will celebrate 17 years with the paper, He was editor for the Waco Daily in 1887. Assuming that was his entry position, 17 year anniversary would be May 1904, indicating this letter might have been written winter 1903/1904.
On that basis, the trip to Beaumont would have been summer 1903, possibly for a reunion. The reunions rotated between Waco, Palestine and Beaumont. We know 1901 was Waco, 1902 then in Palestine, and 1903 in Beaumont.
