I am tring to find out any information on my great grandma, Lovia Rose.
Lovina was know by other nicknames such as, "Vinnie" Rose and "LJ" Rose. She was born in 1877/78 in Wise Co, VA. Her parents were Elias Jackson Rose ("EJ") and Mary Jane Wright ("Polly"). Elias was a preacher.
Lovina married a Tolbert "Tucker" Hibbitts from Dickenson Co, VA in (I have 2 different dates from 2 different sources) August 19, 1893 or August 21, 1894 in Dickenson Coo. VA (Clintwood). She was 15 and he was 21. Her father "EJ" married them and was a wittness for Lovina and Tolbert's mother, Julie Hibbitts, was present and a wittness for him.
Lovina and Tolbert had 2 boys, Wayne and Ballard. Wayne was born August 21, 1895 and Ballard was born April 6, 1897.
Lovina died in 1897, sometime after Ballard was born. She was 20/21.
Tolbert was left to raise the 2 boys on his own. He worked for Ridder Lumber Company and never remarried. He died in 1929.
His bible was at one time in the possession of a "Belle" Hill of Millard, VA. I do not know what their relation was. The information from the bible was copied by a Goldie Cochran on March 26, 1935 for the Dickenson County Record Project from the Family Bible records.
Any information would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you and God Bless,

"Belle" Hill was my great-grandmother, Isabelle Rose, the daughter of Elias Rose. She was Louvinia's sister. "Belle" was married to Joseph Hill. I haven't been able to find a lot of info on them, but hope this helps. I will look up the names of some of the other children of Belle and Joseph. Maybe you could contact their children about the Bible. I will ask my aunt if she has heard about it. Teresa

Zilphia Louisa Rose, was a sister to LOVINA and BELLE
Rose. She married John Hill 1888 in Dickenson Co,.
I think she may be my ggrandmother. I'm trying to find out if she had a son by the name of John PRosee before she married John Hill, and if so does anybody know who the father was. I think my grandfather John P. was born 1887
out of wed lock. He kept the name Rose for awhile, then changed to Mullins

I am the GGGranddaughter of Elias Rose's son John Elias and Charlotte Birchfield. Do you have much information on them. I do know of a daughter Mary Polly Elizabeth Kiser and another daughter I believe was named Rebecca. I cannot find where any of them are buried however. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jerri Hawks

Hi, I have a John P. Rose in my line. His middle initial stands for Preston. Is this the same as your line? He was married to Dulcina Moore. John is my great grandfather.
Thanks, Marie
