Four children were born who were not reported in the 1900 census. Ida Lucinda was the oldest, born 27 July 1877 in TExas. It is uncertain, but it was probably in Hunt County. Nemmie Lovin was born about 1878, and Sarah Alice was born on 17 March 1879 in Greenville, Hunt County, Texas.

Another daughter was born in 1882, who was also already out of the home before the 1900 census. Rosa Lee Lovin, born 18 August 1882. The next chidl was Mattie Arletta, born 5 November 1884, whoi was the first child reported in the 1900 census.

Note that Lucinda's parents are reported born in Mississippi. But we saw in the 1860 census that they are reported as father born in Tennessee and mother born in North Carolina. we find the report in 1920 for Lucinda also matches the 1860 report. In 1910 we are told they were both born in Arkansas.

Ben and Pink are living with their daughter Annie and her husband.

In 1920, Pink is a widow living in the household of her daughter Allie S Blalock. Ben died in 1913 in Jim Wells County, Texas. We find that Pink and the Blalocks are now living in central Oklahoma, in the community of Rush Springs, in Grady County, a little south of Chickasha.

Linda Dudley has the following notes in her genealogy of the Lovins:

ID: I24115
Lucinda "Pink" BREWER
Sex F
Birth 26 JAN 1852 in Pike County, Arkansas to Texas
Death 10 AUG 1932 in Age: 80 Weleetka, Okfuskee Co., Oklahoma
[It appears Weleetka is the place of burial, but death actually occurred in Pharaoh. -- OBJ]

As for the Native American aspect of the Lovin family, we have no evidence that Benjamin Franklin Lovin B. F. or his family were Native American. It is possible that Isabella Wigley was but we have found no evidence in Mississippi records. Our research has been on Lucinda Pink Brewer, B. F.'s 2nd wife, who we are 99% certain was Indian. We have no actual evidence, only circumstantial evidence (her facial features, the fact that her father migrated to Pike County, Arkansas from Tennessee at the same time many Cherokee Indians were doing so, and the fact that her children referred to the family as 'Black Dutch' which is a 19th century euphemism for Native Americans and persons of black ancestry). Other than these circumstantial clues, we have not yet found hard evidence.

Jerry Cherry comments in a discussion list on the Brewer family:
We have reason to believe that she is either full or part Native American. She had a sister named Lieu (or Lou) and possibly a brother named Oscar.

"Pink" Brewer married Benjamin Franklin Lovin and had children named: Allie, Mattie, Anna, Minnie, Ida, Ben Lovin Jr.

B. F. Lovin was a minister and they lived at different times in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

Lucinda's gravestone (footstone) has her name as Lucindia. No familiy member has seen any instance of the name spelled that way elsewhere.
