A reply was made to me and this was the answer to the question. Maybe they will post the info they sent , said they would. Thanks for the reply, my line is from Duplin Co., NC, it starts with a Walter no dates, than a Hugh GRIMES dies 1780 NC he has 3 know sons, Joseph , Sampson, James, and most likely more, but some of Joseph's sons went to SC ca1800, James is my line he died ca 1832, his son Stephen, and the other sons started the trek to Ga, than Al, some went on to Tx. Wm one of James' sons died in 1837 Stewart Co, He had a son Calvin cannot find him listed in a Census anywhere, did find a Calvin m in Mont. Co Al? could be Ga.?? but his children was b in AL. it is the naming pattern of the Coweta Co Ga GRIMES that caught my eye :-), another son of James' John died in Stewart Co., Also, he had married a Catherine FREDERICK, the widow of John went to Dale/Coffee Co., Al than on out to Tx, the sons stayed in Al. William' widow stayed in Stewart Co. she must have been Mary Nancy, some paper work has Mary most has Nancy, listed as Nancy in 1850 census.
so that is about how my line goes . Good luck

COCHRAN, born in Georgia, in the same county in the same year. The parents of James T. and Mary M.

Looking for information on Billy LOVELADY and Lucy TURNER. They were married Sept. 28, 1882 (or 1873) in Coweta Co. They had at least 2 children:
1. Jim Davis LOVELADY, b. Oct. 16, 1885, d. 1975. He lived with my mothers family (Fred & Alice TURNER) in the Mt. Carmel community when she was a child, & then in a little 1 room house across the street from my grandmother for the rest of his life.
2. Malvin LOVELADY, lived in Cullman Co., AL (Holly Pond?)
There are several LOVELADY'S buried at Elim Baptist Church, but haven't been able to find Billy & Lucy. Lucy Turner LOVELADY was a child of James Madison & Judia Rose Wortham TURNER.
