Lovells are mentioned in records of Greenville Co, SC and Haywood, Rockingham and Buncombe co's, NC in the late 1700s/early 1800s. Some of these Lovells relocated to northeast and northcentral Georgia -- Rabun, Habersham, White, Towns, Union, Fannin, Gilmer co's -- in the early 1800s until about the early to mid 1800s when some of these relocated to: Western central Georgia near the Alabama state line -- Haralson, Paulding, Polk, Carroll, Floyd co's. This is where my Lovells met my Lewis's. After the Civil War (as far as I know) in the 1870s some of both of these families (from Haralson Co, GA in my case) relocated to what is now Cullman Co, AL. I'm not familiar with any Jefferson Co, AL Lovells and I don't know where they fit in the family. There is no mention of Jefferson Co families (from what I remember) in the Descendant's report I have for George W. Lovell, Sr. But I may have overlooked it. Not counting the Endnotes the report is 67 pages long. I didn't compile any of the information or even contribute to it. A copy was given to me several years ago by my second cousin, Barbara Handley, who has since passed away. The most common place name mentioned in the report is Rabun Co, Georgia. There are a few places where Habersham Co, GA censuses are mentioned as sources of information but those are probably not even ten times in the report. Barry Jernigan
