He is the son of Crenius G. Loveless and his wife Nancy Victoria Brown of Pulaski County, Kentucky. There is a James M. Loveless, age 1, on the 1850 census. He is the son of John and Ruhama Loveless of Macoupin County, Illinois. There is no James Lovelxxx to be found in Washington County, Indiana, on the 1790 thru 1870 censuses. Jack James ? Lovelace who died in Washington County, Indiana May 8, 1941, Is the cause of some of my migraines. He is supposedly James Moses Lovelace, but I have no proof of the middle name except what was written by his grandson Lawrence Lee Lovelace who died in 2008. Lawrence said his grandfather said his name was James Moses, he was born in Pulaski County, Kentucky in about 1854 (date varied). James did not read or write. He said he left home in Pulaski County because he could not get along with a step parent, and ended up going to Louisville, where he was hired to work on the farm of a Mr. Denny in Washington County - there is a James Loveless age 28 in the 1880 census of Washington County (Canton Twp) who is living as a hired hand in the family of a John Dennany. Somewhere between the 1880 census and the 1900 census where what I am told is the same person now listed as James Lovelace the spelling is different, either by census takers or by guess and by golly, since Mr. Lovelace did not read or write. He is then in all census records in Washington County, Indiana. Here is his wife Nancy (aka Ann/Anna's) death notice. On their marriage license names are spelled James Lovelace & Anna Lockhart. AAAAGH. I have had a devil of a time verifying most things about James Loveless/Lovelace. _________________________________________ Death Notice reads "Death Claims Aged Resident.
