Notes
- Lovin family tradition holds that the Lovins are English and Irish. This information comes to us through Tom Sims, whose aunt transmitted it to him from her memory of hearing Baily Edward Lovin say this.
"B.E. (Bailey Edward) said he was English and Irish. He was redheaded. Walter (B.E.'s son) and two of his sisters (B.E.'s daughters) were redheads. B.E. did the land run and picked a spot in Norman OK, sold it, and moved to Ada where he married a preacher's daughter. He was also Mayor. Died in Allen OK. This information provided by the aunt of Tom Sims (great-grandson of B.E.). We are not sure which aunt."

Bailey Edward Lovin is listed as Eddie Lovin in the 1880 census with his family in Hunt County, Texas. Bailey and his younger brother James Henry were born in Mississippi before his father moved the family to Texas. We can see from the census that their sister Ada was born in Texas in about 1874. Henry was born about 1870, so they moved to Texas between 1870 and 1874.

All the details of "Lizza" match Elizabeth in the previous census, including her birth state being Illinois. Yet the mother of all the children is reported as born in Kentucky as Elizabeth's mother. This is surely an enumerator error. He likely did not write down the birth place of the children's mother at the time, and went back and absent-mindedly copied the birth place of the mother from the previous line. But then it happens again with the report for Walter's mother in the next household.
Bailey J of 1910 is now listed as Jack. This tells us his middle initial J was perhaps John, or Jack, which had become a name in its own right, and not just the common nickname for the formal name John. In 2014, I found a family genealogy that reported his middle name as Jackson, which would also lead to a nickname of Jack. The middle name is not documented in any record I have found, and but neither is it in the genealogy. But i discovered that Elizabeth's mother's name was Jackson. So Jackson as a middle name makes sense.
The child that appeared to be called Henery M in 1910 is now called Mart. The names in the 1910 census were faded in streaks, so hard to read. If the name was really entered as Henery, since the name had the initial M, this child's full name is likely Henry Martin, called Mart here.
The child matching "Lady" of 1910 is called Isabelle here. That makes sense but is interesting, in light of the name of the last child, age 7, Ladelle, for which "Lady" could be a nickname.
Son Walter is living next door, but the enumerator has written his name as Watler. Walter's mother is reported as born in Kentucky instead of Illinois.

By 1930, Bailey Edward has moved from dry goods to groceries in the same town, and his wife Elizabeth also works in the store. Gladys is a teacher in the public schools.

The birthplace of the children's mother is now back to Illinois. We get some middle initials in this census, and perhaps the correct form of "Ladelle's" name, Lola Dell. The three sons are living in their own households near each other not far away, enumerated 2 pages earlier.
