Lou Ann,   I may have mentioned this before, but one of James' descendants with whom I spoke back in the 1980s (deceased now), who knew and told me a ton of priceless info on the family, said that durign the War, James had "refugeed" (she pronounced it as "REFageed") back to South Carolina for a while (she didn't say how long). I presume that reference to "South Carolina" probably meant Pickens County, where James and siblings had lived prior to moving to Georgia. As you know, Pickens Co. and the location where the Lovelaces (and his in-laws, the Nicholsons) lived was right along the Chattooga River, which is the state line with Rabun County and Georgia.   I can document James' whereabouts from about 1832 onwards, as follows:   1832--Deed, Rabun County from Henry Henson (his step-father). 1840--U.S. Federal Census, Rabun County. 1846--Birth of daughter Genetta in South Carolina (per several censuses). 1848--Birth of daughter Martha (my ancestor) in SC (per several censuses). 1849--Deed from estate of his brother Barton, Cherokee Co. Ga. 1850--U.S. Federal Census, Cherokee County, Ga. 1851--Mentioned as husband of Sarah Nicholson Loveless in lawsuit over her later father's estate in Pickens County, South Carolina. 1860--U.S. Federal Census, Pickens County, Ga. (formerly Cherokee County). 1861 thru 1863--enlisted and served as private (later elected Captain) of Co.B, 23rd Regt. Ga. Vol. Infantry, Pickens County, Georgia ("Tate Guards"). 1863--While stationed at Yorktown, Va., had to resign his commission as captain due to "old age and rheumatism". 1867--His estate was inventoried and administered by his sons Henry Henson Loveless and Evan Jackson Loveless, in Cobb County, Georgia [He had lived in Smyrna, near the old "Smyrna Campground," for about 2--3 years prior to his death, which according to cousin Dixie Thielet of Pittsburgh, Pa., happened while on a trip to Knoxville, TN. James had intervened in a quarrel involving a friend, and received a fatal wound (either shot or stabbed)].   I've not seen or heard of any other Lovelxxxes in Rabun Co., so this is news to me also. Since James apparently kept in contact with that area throughout most of his life, it would not surprise me to find other relatives there in the 1870s (shortly after James' death).   Hope this helps.   Terry   --- On Sat, 8/14/10, Brondak@aol.com <Brondak@aol.com> wrote: From: Brondak@aol.com <Brondak@aol.com> Subject: [LL] Lucy Lovelace - Rabun Co GA To: lovelace@rootsweb.com Date: Saturday, August 14, 2010, 9:19 AM Hey Cuzzies: I have found another Lucy Lovelace in Rabun Co GA and don't know who she is.   She supposedly was born in Rabun Co ca 1875 and she married William Alford Hopper also born ca 1875.   I have no further info.   Does anyone out there have access to 1870 census records to check and she if there was a Lovelace family back in Rabun Co in 1870?   GA Barton's sibs went through there, but much earlier than that and I don't think any went back, but wouldn't swear to anything.
