Hi, I am currently seeking more info on my grandfather, who has passed away years ago. I never knew much about him or his heritage further, my father's side of the family was very unknown. No one seems to know, that are still living of course. I was wondering if there is anymore info out there on Clifford A. Lovelace(Dutchess County, NY), born 1921/death 2002, son of Frank and Leona Conover Lovelace. Possibly found out more about his parents(my great grandparents), lineage and origin. Please let me if you could help me, it would be much appreciated! - Heather Lovelace

Hi, Heather Nice to hear from you, and welcome again to the group. I just did some quick searching in the Lovelace List archives and through census records on Ancestry.com, and I think I may have found your line. Check this: Clifford < Frank R. (+ Leona Conover) < Richard (+ Cassie Storey) < William (+Mary Bates) < Peleg Mostly from Dutchess Co., NY. Pat Brooks, do you see this? Can you confirm?

The notes that I have on Peleg's son William and Mary Bates are from previous post by Pat Brooks and others: >From the "Commemorative Biographical Record of Dutchess County, New York, containing biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens, and of many of the early settled families". WILLIAM LOVELACE was born in the year 1812, in Putnam county, where his boyhood days were passed, and during his youth he learned the carpenter's trade, but did not long follow that occupation, as he soon began farming in the town of Stanford, Dutchess county, remaining there several years. Ten years were afterward spent in the town of Washington, at the expiration of which time he returned to Stanford, where he carried on agricultural pursuits for thirteen years. He next located upon a farm on Chestnut Ridge, in the town of Dover, which he still owns, but is now retired in Millbrook, town of Washington. Although he started out in life with nothing, he has by energy and perseverance become a very successful man. He is a stanch adherent of the Democratic party, but has never cared for political preferment, and is a consistent member of the Baptist Church. On November 14, 1835, in the town of Washington, he led to the marriage alter Miss Mary Bates, a daughter of Joseph Bates, and four children blessed their union: Francis, deceased; James H.; Richard, of the town of Dover, and Asa, of Millbrook. Bill O'Daniel's same message included the fact that > Frances Elizabeth Lovelace, daughter of William and Mary, died 9 Nov., > 1848, age 12 years, 1 month and was buried in St Peter's Cemetery, Lithgow, NY. Community Ground [Cemetery] in Stanfordville NY, was the entry: "William Lovelace, 1812-1902" and "Mary Bates Lovelace, wife of William, 1816-1908" Pat Brooks Tom Loveless -----Original Message----- From: Greg Lovelace Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2010 10:14 PM To: lovelace@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LL] Clifford A.
