I don’t think Nathan and Delma Lovelace are from the James (Loveless) of Tishomingo (1796-1851) line. I’ve followed the James of Tishomingo line (my GGGgrandfather) and volunteered with the Tishomingo County Historical & Genealogical Society, so I follow all of the Lovelesses in the area as their obits are found. When these posts came through last night, I looked for Delma and Nathan and found what Greg has found, but I did not find any link to the James of Tishomingo line. The Nathan/Delma branch seems to come through Tennessee; the James of Tish line comes through Georgia and South Carolina. The James of Tish branch stayed in the area of Tishomingo town and Iuka. Burnsville and Ripley are further west. So, who are the Joseph and Nancy Lovelace in Ripley in 1860? According to the census, Joseph was born ca 1831 in South Carolina. James of Tish had a son born at the right time, Joshua (1831-1863) who married Martha Herridge; they moved to Arkansas. He Joined the 9th Arkansas infantry in the Civil War and died in hospital in Mississippi in 1863. So, how do Joseph and Nancy Lovelace in Ripley in 1860 fit in to the Lovelxxx family? And, still looking to find a. the father of James of Tish - pretty sure it was John Milton Loveless b. the father of John Milton Loveless - after all the exchanges of the past few days, are we now definitely saying it was Joseph (b 1722) m Sarah Robey?
