Hello, I'm tracing my Fathers family history.... Page & Jayne families from Adair County-Cane Valley and VA. (as well). I have hit a "Brick wall" when it comes to G.B. PAGE 1854-1942. He was my Great Grandfather, son of Willie Emory Page... but that's all I know. If you can help I would so appreciate it! Thank You! Melissa Rowan, Rowanwm@aol.com P.S. I'm also working on Jaynes records also from Cane Valley, Adair County.

I am trying to find the father of Joseph Loveall b ca 1838 probably in Adair Co., KY. He moved to Sumner County TN prior to the 1860 census and joined the 7th TN Inf. He married Melinda Emmaline "Emily" West. I am trying to prove or disprove that his parents are Jesse and Malinda Loveall who moved to Adair county after their marriage. Later they moved back to TN and had James and Nancy Loveall. Jas was born ca 1857 in Sumner County. Joseph was wounded at the Battle of Seven Pines, VA in April of 1862. Marched across the state to Fortress Monroe VA where he died of those wounds in Sept. of 1862. At some point shortly after Melinda remarried Mark Lawrence. When she died she and her son James were buried next to each other at the Bushes Chapel Co C cemetery. Sumner County, TN. There is a theory that Jonathan Loveall/Lovell of New England, PA and Pulaski County, KY., son of the Rev. Henry Loveall, was Joseph's grandfather but I have found no sure proof. If you have proof of this or have any other information on this line, please contact me. Would love to share info with you re this line. Thanks, Janet Loveall Eve, janeteve@ymail.com
