Some genealogy sources indicate that Polly was a nickname, rather than a middle name. I see that the ages of five children are two or three years off. Even though the census month is the same in both censuses, since 1850, James and William (Willis in 1850) have aged 13 years. Sarah, Judea [Judah, =Judith] have aged 12 years and Benjamin shows an age increase of 11 years since 1850. 1870 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 8 September, page 3 (scan 131), Hse/Fam #18 Lovelace, Asa 63 M W Farmer $700 Real Estate $600 personal born North Carolina [b abt 1807] Lovelace, Mary 62 F W Keeping House born North Carolina [b abt 1808] Lovelace, Sarah 25 F W Attending School born North Carolina Cannot read or write [b abt 1845] Lovelace, Judea 22 F W No Occupation born North Carolina [b abt 1848] Lovelace, Nancy 20 F W No Occupation born North Carolina [b abt 1848] Lovelace, M J 18 M W Attending School born North Carolina Cannot read or write [b abt 1852] Lovelace, B C 15 M W Attending School born North Carolina Cannot read or write [b abt 1855] Lovelace, G W 13 M W Attending School born North Carolina Cannot read or write [b abt 1857] Green J R 11 M W Attending School born North Carolina Cannot read or write [b abt 1859] Lovelace, Benjamin 21 M W Farmer born North Carolina Married Aug 1870 [b abt 1849] Lovelace, Parmelia 20 F W Keeping House born North Carolina [b abt 1848] This census tells us that Benjamin married Parmelia in Aug 1870. I find it interesting that the children are reported as having attended school, but as being illiterate. In 1860 Mary was the only person in the family reported as unable to read or write, but that census specified only illiterate persons over 20. I am unclear who the J R Green here is. The son Joseph of Reuben H Green and Judith McSwain Green (Mary's sister) is reported in his parents' household, and is 10 years old. The ages in the 1870 census make Asa and Mary 10 years older than the birth dates reported in one of the genealogies I reference for dates. The ages reported in 1860 match the birth dates given by Cornwell. The following exact birth dates are given for them by Matt Cornwell: Asa Lovelace born 09 Aug 1817 died 1 Feb 1887 Mary (Polly) Green born 24 Nov 1818 died 31 Dec 1899 There are several other Lovelace households reported on this same page of the census. Next door to Asa and Mary in House #19 are J L (age 28) and P J (22); next to them in House #20 are Berry (38) and Mary (36); two doors from them are James (55) and Judah (56, Judith in 1880, and age 66). In 1880, one notable difference is that now John R appears with the last name of Lovelace instead of Green. This probably means that the Lovelaces adopted him. His relationship is reported here, as I had speculated above, as a Nephew of Asa (probably of Mary), but I have still not been able to connect him with a specific set of parents. And in this census, the ages are corrected, with Asa showing a 1-year increase in age and Mary the same age! 1880 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 1 June, Township 2, District 66, page 2, Hse #18, Fam #21 Lovelace, Asa 62 W M [No Occupation] NC NC NC [b abt 1807] Lovelace, Mary W F 62 Wife Keeping House NC NC NC [b abt 1808] -- page 3 -- Lovelace, Sarah W F Dau 34 NC NC NC read or write [b abt 1845] Lovelace, Judia W F 33 Dau NC NC NC b abt 1847] Lovelace, Nancy W F 29 Dau NC NC NC [b abt 1851] Lovelace, George W W M 22 Son NC NC NC [b abt 1858] Lovelace, John R W M 21 Son NC NC NC [b abt 1859]

Point Lookout was constructed of fourteen foot high wooden walls. These walls surrounded an area of about 40 acres. A walkway surrounded the top of the walls where negro guards walked day and night. It is reported the guards were brutal in their treatment of prisoners. Prisoner, John R. King said; 'Two days out of every three we were guarded by a gang of ignorant and cruelsome negroes. Please do not think that I dislike the negroes as a race. Many of them are my friends, but the negroes authority over the white people and the defenceless prisoners suffered at their hands. Numbers of scars were left on the frame work of the closets made by negroes firing at the prisoners. The negro guard was very insolent and delighted in tantalizing the prisoners, for some trifle affair, we were often accused of disobedience and they would say, 'Look out, white man, the bottom rail is on top now, so you had better be careful for my gun has been wanting to smoke at you all day!'"' -- Point Lookout Civil War Prison, http://www.censusdiggins.com/prison_ptlookout.html A special Point Lookout Cemetery was established for Confederate prisoners of war who died in the camp. "During the Civil War, Point Lookout was one of the largest prisons of CSA POWs. Many men died there from exposure, malaria, scurvy and TB. Originally, the soldiers were buried in two cemeteries near the prison camp. However, because the cemetery land started to erode into the Chesapeake, in 1870 the state of Maryland removed the remains. In 1910 they were moved again and re-interred in a burial trench one mile inland, near where a federal monument was constructed that year. The 80-foot granite obelisk marks the site, just outside Point Lookout State Park, but the actual boundaries of the pit are not marked." -- Find a Grvae, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=81385

Records for anna Roberts were hard to find. Continued searching in creative ways finally turned up a death certificate in Delaware County for Anna Roberts Jones, daughter of Robert P Lovett, in Newton Township in 1956. Anna was reported as widowed and a resident of Wayne Pennsylvania, living with her daughter identified as the informant on her death certificate under the name of Mrs A D Spillman, of the same residence address. Anna married Samuel Jones some time after the death of Sam's longtime first wife Florence Moore in 1852. Sam's obituary reported he was survived by his wife, the former Anna Roberts, the normal formula to commonly report a wife's maiden name. This death certificate informs us, however, that Roberts was her first married name and her maiden name was Lovett. No information has been found on either marriage for Anna. Records of Anna and Evan's marriage is found in the Frends records for Fallas Monthly Meeting, Fallsingotn, and Philadelphis Montlhy Meetrintg Record Book.
