I am Teresa Lovelady Partlow. I'm from Kenneth Ray Lovelady b:1932, Earnest Milford Lovelady, Pleasant Travis Lovelady b:1852, James Lovelady b:1816 (husband of Catherine Travis). I've tracked my Lovelady line through Texas, Platte Co. MO, White Co., TN, Greene Co., TN and North Carolina. I have more info back home in Salt Lake City in binders. Let me know if you're still working on this line and I'll send what I have. Merry Christmas.

Howdy cousin,
I am grandaughter to Ples Frank Lovelady son of Pleasant Travis. My mother was Geraldine Lovelady Morgan. I am interested in knowing more about our family.

My Great Grandfather Hiram Leroy Moore b. 1825 had a sister Margaret Minerva Moore b. about 1829 who married a Pleasant J. Lovelady. They had 4 children none of whose names I know. I have been interested in the Lovelady family due to some legendary stories about the "Lovelady Ghost" a tale told through my father's family. I would love to find members of this family and share the story which has now been passed down for 150 years! Thanks for any help.

My connection to the William Lewis/Catherine Travis family is their son James (Jim) Lewis. James Lewis married Margaret Conner, who was called Maggie. Maggie, however was previously married and had two daughters, Molly King
who was really later referred to in MO Census records as Mary Virginia King. She married (1st) a man named George Gabbert and m,#2 Judge John L Carmack, who was the first Mayor of Weston, Platte co MO.
Maggie Conner King's second daughter was Price Missouri King who married William E. Dean. Both these girls ended up in Las Vages New Mexico where they both are buried.

James (Jim) Lewis and Maggie Conner King Lewis then had three more children before Maggie died shortly after the birth of the third child in1874.
My great grandfather was listed in the 1870 Census as Francis W. Lewis, born in 1863. He was never called by that name, but went by Frank, or James Frank Lewis.
His younger sister Nellie married Americas Vespusis McDowell and they both died in Tulsa, Tulsa co OK, and the youngest child Kate or Catherine Lewis was first cared for by Molly King Gabbert Carmack, then put into an orphanage.
Kate ran away from the orphanage at about age 16, lived with her sister Price Missouri Dean shortly and then got a job in Oklahoma and married James M. Halbrooks. She died in OK also.

I know my Jim Franklin Lewis was the son of James Lewis. I have family notes that refered to James brothers Nate and Andrew. His notes say Nate was hanged as an outlaw in Tx.
If anyone has any information on William Lewis and Catherine Travis, I would dearly love to communicate.
Thanks Scotty in PA
