R. Hamrick finally figured it all out. We looked at the page of the book on HeritageQuest, and it has the generation numbers included. Here's the source citation: Lewis, Wm. Terrell: Genealogy of the Lewis family in America from the middle of the seventeenth century down to the present time; Louisville, Ky.: Courier-Journal Job Print. Co., 1893, c 1892, 459 pgs. The Louisa Jane mentioned above is actually Nancy's sister, not daughter. "E11. Jesse Taliaferro, son of Charles Lewis, Sr., was born in Rutherford county, North Carolina, in 1808. He is a farmer and member of the Baptist church at Mountain Creek Meeting-house. He is about five feet seven inches in height, with blue eyes and auburn hair. His post-office is Green Hill, Rutherford county, N. C. In 1843 he married Susan, daughter of Stephen Cowart, of Rutherford county, who died in May, 1886. She had seven children, viz: F1. Nancy Elizabeth, born in 1844. In 1860 she married William Jay, son of James Jay, of Rutherford county, North Carolina. She died in Newton county, Missouri, and left the following named children: G1. Carl Pulfio Cummins, born in 1863 G2. Grisef Dreadnaught Xerxes, born in 1865, and died in 1866 [Greg's note: With a name like that, no wonder the child died in infancy!!!] F2. Mary E., daughter of Jesse T. Lewis, born in 1846; married Jesse Sorrels. F3. Louisa Jane, born in 1848; married Munroe Lovelace F4. William Thomas, born in 1850; died single F5. Richard Taliaferro, born in 1851. F6. James Madison, born in 1853. F7. Laura Elizabeth, born in 1855." And here Mr. Lewis made a mistake. Laura Elizabeth Lewis married Monroe Miller Lovelace in 1881. The marriage record is listed on Bill Floyd's website at http://rfci.net/wdfloyd/rclicdex.html Lovelace, M. M. Lewis, Laura 1881 I've asked Bill for a copy. And my database does show Laura E. Lewis, daughter of Jessie T. Lovelace, married to Monroe Miller Lovelace based on data from Cousin Doug Lovelace and Dr. Marc Hoyle Lovelace. Monroe Miller Lovelace was the son of Nathan Crawford and Mary Elizabeth Boggs Lovelace. Nathan Crawford was the son of Thomas and Judith McSwain Lovelace. Thomas was the son of Asa and Susannah Hardin Lovelace. Asa is thought to be the son of Barton and Lucy Watson Lovelace of Montgomery Co., MD. Barton is thought to be the son of Benjamin and Sarah Lovelace of Montgomery Co., MD. Benjamin is thought to be the son of John Lovelace.
