Hello Frank and everyone Frank, you may be the man I was referring to in the previous email. I am glad you put in the phone number, I will call you later. I am sending the requested information, please forward it to Greg. My father, Fay Howard Loveless, (March 02, 1902 - February 18, 1975) was born in Trion, Georgia. His father, Joe H. Loveless is the one I need to trace. Joe married Bessie Sue McGregor ( December 18, 1877- April 8, 1955) on November 25, 1900. The family Bible shows they were married by the reverend Loveless in Trion, Georgia. My father, Fay, was their only child. There is no other information on Joe in the family records. My grandmother, Bessie, raised Fay at her family' s home in Rock Springs, Georgia. Bessie's father, William McGregor, (March 03, 1844- March 15, 1921) from Paulding County, Georgia married Katie Summers, (December 5, 1854- March 8, 1932) of Coweta County, Georgia on April 10, 1873 at Mirah Summers' home. I presume that is in Coweta County. I have a letter from Katie postmarked Newman, Georgia to William, addressed to Dallas, Georgia. The contents of the letter indicate they did not own the farm in Rock Springs at that time. There is also some confusion about the date on the letter so I am not sure when they may have been Newman and Dallas. Rock Springs is in Walker County. My father grew up there and worked the farm until the 1940's. He married my mother, Lillian Elizabeth Ridings (October 24, 1912- August 3, 2003) of Ooltewah, Tennessee, Hamilton County on October 20, 1945 in Rossville, Georgia, Walker County. I am their only child, Howard David Loveless, born April 26, 1948 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Hamilton County. They lived at 908 South Orchard Knob in Chattanooga at the time. After my birth they moved to 914 Carline Road, Rossville, Georgia where I lived until 1967. My father sold the farm around 1959. I sold the home in Rossville in 1978, I have not lived in Georgia since 1967. I went college in Nashville and was in the Army for over twenty years. Except for some cousins I have no connections to Georgia. There are no Loveless relatives to my knowledge. Clifford Loveless lived a half mile from us and Frank lived in Chickamagua, Georgia but my father said they were not related to us. I am going to leave it here for now. I really appreciate the friendly responses I have received and I look froward to continued communication with other "cousins". Frank I am going to try that phone number this afternoon. Please forward this information to Greg and Alton and any others who may want to see it.
