In the two court cases over the John Lovelady estate it names Mary Polly Lovelady wife of Joseph Gifford as a daughter, living in MO.. Online I see two different dates for the 2nd case where Jeremiah Gammon was guardian over her children -31 Jan 1845 & 31 Jan 1846. Can anyone tell me which date is correct? In July 1843 it names 9 heirs including Polly Gifford. This leads me to believe Polly is still living 1843. This is very important to me because Joseph F. Gifford had my Great Grandmother born Feb 1845. I would like to know if she was the daughter of Polly Lovelady Gifford or the wife he had by 1850. If anyone has copies of these court records I would appreciate copies or can you tell me where I can obtain copies? I am also related to John Lovelady through the Shrum line. There are so many versions in family trees online one doesn't know what to believe. I would appreciate help from my Gifford/Lovelady "Cousins". Much Thanks.
