    1. [ARDREW-L] "most wanted" Drew County line?
    2. Melissa Jones
    3. Hi, everyone, Since it's been pretty quiet on the list lately, I thought we could try having a "most wanted" posting session, sort of like our "roll call" that we had sometime back. Who is your "most wanted" Drew County research subject? That is, what Drew County person or line that you are researching gives you the most fits....the one where you have hit a brick wall? Maybe if we can find others working on the same "brick wall" subjects, we can work together and puzzle them out. For me, my Drew County stickler is Elizabeth Plunkett who married John Wesley Loveless (probably in Tishomingo County, MS) a few years before they moved to Drew County ~1858. I have not been able to determine with absolute accuracy her parentage, and though "Old Times" gives the names of Elizabeth's father (James Plunkett of AL) and some siblings, I haven't yet been able to find proof of these connections. Also, I have never been able to determine where Elizabeth Plunkett Loveless is buried. My guess is in 16th Section Cemetery beside her husband John Loveless (who has a stone), but again, I don't know that for sure. It was only this summer that I learned when she died (December, 1905), and that was from a letter written by Ida Belle Grubbs to her cousin Archie Loveless (thank you, cousin Robbie!). Anybody else have any "toughies" to post to the list? --Melissa
