My Lovell family were from St. Clair County. Like my Martin we came from St. Clair into Jefferson around 1820 living on the line of St. Clair and Jefferson Counnties.In a message dated 11/12/2007 6:49:52 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, bjernigan7040@bellsouth.net writes: 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.

The report says the following: "Notes for George W. Lovell, Sr: George Lovell is rumored to have been of the first generation of this family to be born in America of a family in England. This was in an article written by June Lovell, wife of Robert Lovell in Blairsville, Georgia, and printed in the Heritage book for either Fannin or Union County. No proof of this. Earliest information from census is that George was born in South Carolina. There are many Lovells from a family in Virginia, but have not yet made a connection to any of those." I don't know how much research was done in reference to the statement about George being of the first generation born in America. There were Lovells in SC in the late 1600s and early 1700s. I'm sure some of them had children as well. So he could have been from several generations after the first of his family arrived here. Barry Jernigan
