OK, this one took me a while. PeopleLooker.com shows Joan Lovelace, aka Shirley Joan Lovelace, of Asheville, Leicester, and Marshall, NC, associated with Michael Ray Lovelace. I found Michael Ray Lovelace and Elaine Lovelace, who are mentioned in the obituary. I found Michael Ray Lovelace in Ancestry's "North Carolina, Birth Indexes, 1800-2000," born 27 May 1959 in Cleveland County, son of Shirley J. McGaha and Carl Ray Lovelace. I then checked my database and found Carl Ray Lovelace, Jr., married to Shirly Jean McGaha, data I got from Cuzzin Doug back in the '90s. So I have the lineage as: Michael Ray Lovelace (1959 - ) + Elaine (-?-) - Carl Ray Lovelace, Jr. + Shirley Jean McGaha -- Carl Ray Lovelace, Sr. (1905-1953) + Edith Williams --- George Aaron Lovelace (1873-1937) + Dora Mode ---- Cyntha Jane Lovelace (1846-1938) + John Lovelace (lineage unknown) ----- Nathaniel Lovelace (1810-1868) + Jane McSwain ------ Asa Lovelace (1785-1845) + Susannah Hardin ------- Barton Lovelace (circa 1757-circa 1802) + Lucy Watson -------- Benjamin Lovelace (circa 1727 - ?1817?) + Sarah ?Robey?
