Hi, Rutherford Co. cuzzins... These familes are driving me nuts! 1850 Rutherford Co., NC census, Sandy Run, p321: Dwelling #1299 Lewis Green age 50 Lucy age 41 (possibly the daughter of Benjamin and Nancy Lovelace) Elizabeth age 18 Nancy age 16 Sarah age 14 Mary age 12 William age 22 Dwelling #1300 Nancy Lovelace age 60 William age 16 Daniel age 17 Rebeca age 15 (another family, same dwelling) Elizabeth Green age 26 Louisa Green age 18 Benjamin Lovelace age 14 Mary Green age 5 Dwelling #1302 and #1303 are both families of Greens, and #1304 is the family of my gggrandparents William and Cyntha Lovelace. Keep in mind the Elizabeth and Mary Green found above in the household of Nancy Lovelace. 1860 Rutherford Co. census, Sandy Run, p. 279: Dwelling #46 Nancy Loveless age 70 Elizabeth age 36 Mary age 15 No Greens on the page, no other persons in the household. Note that Mary and Elizabeth are listed as Loveless. Now comes a family Bible from some Bowmans in SC, presented in 1978, with the father's genealogy filled in on a pedigree chart. This lineage includes a James Bridges who married Mary "Polly" Ann Lovelace. Mary Ann's parents are listed as Bettsey Lovelace and (no given name) Logan. A child of James and Mary Ann, in the husband's lineage, is Marcus Bridges. "The Hamrick Generations" by SC Jones lists Marcus Bridges' parents as James Bridges and Mary Logan. Now to the 1870 Rutherford Co. census, Logans Store, p120: Dwelling #154 Elizabeth Loveless age 44 Amos age 2 Elijah age 1/12 (Amos and Elijah are incorrectly listed as Loveless. They are, in fact, Amos and Elijah Bridges, children of James and Mary Ann Bridges, and grandchildren of Elizabeth) p123, Dwelling #203, is the household of my gggrandparents William and Cyntha Lovelace. p131, Dwelling #333 Sam Bridges age 24 Mary age 21 Smith age 3 Smith is listed in "The Hamrick Generations" as the son of Samuel and Mary Logan Bridges. Finally, the 1880 census... Household #83 Colfax Township Bridges, Samuel 35 Mary A. 34 bunches of children, whose names I cannot read Green, Elizabeth 58 Mother-in-law So Elizabeth and Mary are Greens in the 1850 census, Loveless in the 1860 census. Elizabeth is Loveless in the 1870 and Green in the 1880. Mary is listed as Logan in "The Hamrick Generations". Elizabeth is listed as Bettsey Lovelace in the Bowman Bible, and Mary is listed as Mary "Polly"Ann Lovelace, daughter of Bettsey Lovelace and an unnamed Logan man in the Bowman Bible. Does anyone have any clues as to why Elizabeth and Mary are listed above as Greens? And does anyone know anything about the Louisa Green that is listed in Elizabeth's family living with Nancy Lovelace in 1850? Thanks for any help any of you may offer.... Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg Lovelace
