Jack (and all)....A little more on the Newberry Five (thanks Wade, for that name. It helps distinguish them from all the other SC Lovelaces really well. Why didn't I ever think of calling them that? lol) Another thing I looked at determining that these five were brothers were naming patterns: Hazel: Six sons, one named Joseph (for his father) one James and one William (for his brothers?) James: Eight sons, one William, one Hazel, (for brothers?) Isaac: 11 children one son Joseph and one daughter Sarah (for parents?) son James (for brother?) William: I'm not 100% sure of his children, but I think he had a William and a James John: Six sons, one named James Isaac (for two brothers?) and one William. Note Jamea Isaac or also known as James of Tishomingo is not 100% proven as a son of John, but I think he might be. The name James Isaac is proven. James might just have been a real popular name OR the brothers may all have really liked him above the rest.. James and Isaac married sisters. We don't know the surnames of the wives of Hazel, John or William Hazel was the only one who stayed in newberry. John, James & Isaac went to Greenville. William to Laurens Co where John was also found in 1810. Of the five, only John left SC and went to AL, however, many of the kids and grandkids of the other four, (including Hazel's) can be found near one anothr in AL, some staying in AL, some moving on to other places.

Yes Lenny, I did have a DNA test done. I found a record that Hazel was buried at Lower Dunkin Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. So one summer day I took my wife and five children to the Cemetery to see if I could find any Loveless' Graves. Unfortunatey, we found nothing. The cemetery was very large and the Graves were broken with tombstones pushed over and weeds all grown up on and around them. Many had snakes going in and out of them. My. Kids said it reminded them of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Leaving the cemetery, I drove to Whitmire, South Carolina and stopped at an old mom and pop store to get a Coke. While I was there I talked to the owners of the store and told them about our experience at the cemetery and they told me that the Cemetery had been abandoned when the church moved to become the First Baptist Church of Whitmire. They also safe time to visit the Cemetery was in the Winter. They also told about a local man who they believed knew a lot about the church. As he only lived about six houses away, I went to.his door. I told him about what I was looking for and he went into his house and brought out the Original Church Records for Lower Dunkin Creek He would not let me take them to copy and I probably would not allowed a total stranger to take them either. He did however, allow me to sit on his porch and read them for about an hour. I, by the way do not believe James was named James Thomas. All records I have seen list him as James Lovelace or James Loveless. James did have a son named Thomas and his youngest son was named James T. This was James Timmons Loveless and in the Gambrell records of his wife's family he is listed as Timmons Loveless. Wade T.

I checked your record on FTDNA and saw that you had done a 37-marker Y-DNA test done back in 2004. Nothing about an autosomal... did you have your autosomal done at Ancestry or 23andMe? Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg
