Hi, folks. I just spent a couple days in Rutherford Co., NC at the courthouse in an effort to trace land of my ggrandfather George Logan Lovelace and his wife Mary Jane Green Lovelace. I am trying to find the present-day location of the land by searching and platting deeds. It was thought that a parcel once owned by Cicero and Della Lovelace Jones (the granddaughter of George Logan) out on Shires Road in the Colfax section was the land, but I found by tracing the deeds back from the present day that it was not. However, I did find a pair of deeds constituting a January 1906 land trade between George and Mary Jane and another couple, Luther A. and Mattie Padgett of Cleveland Co. George gave up three parcels of property on Sandy Run waters for a parcel on the waters of Roberson's Creek, which I assume is the parcel over at the corner of Sunshine Hwy. and DePriest Road near my father's home place. I know that George owned land there at that crossroads. I was able to trace two of the parcels further down through time, as they were combined into one and described in a series of 3 deeds containing the phrase "including the house where George Lovelace lived" or something to that effect. The Padgetts sold it to J. B. Hamrick on 27 Mar 1906. J. B. Hamrick sold the same parcel to E. A. Hamrick on 29 Jul 1907. E. A. Hamrick and wife S. L. Hamrick sold the parcel on 4 Dec 1907 to S. T. Green of Rutherford Co. I found no record through about 1950 of S. T. Green selling the property, and I didn't have time to look any further. The Grantor Indexes in the deed room go up through 1938 or 1939, and there are several entries for S. T. and Sallie Green(e), but none of them are in Colfax Twp. on Sandy Run. I did check for S. T. Green in the death index, and there is a 1950 death certificate for one Seth Thomas Green of Cool Springs Twp., the son of Johniebly and Mandy Hamrick Green, b. 9 Aug 1877 in Rutherford Co., died 7 Jun 1950. There is also a marriage listed in the marriage registers for S. T. Green, age 21, to Sallie Dobbins, age 18, on Aug 9, 1899. It's possible that this S. T. and Sallie are the ones who own(ed) the land that George lived on. I am posting this to both the Green and the Rutherford Co., NC lists in hopes that someone will recognize some of the parties in these land transactions, especially the S. T. and Sallie Green. Anybody out there got these folks? Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
