Lovick and his family lived in Lowndes County, Alabama through the 1850 census where he is listed as a planter with $1,066 in real estate. Before 1860, Lovick and his brother Samuel moved their families to Dallas County, arkansas aslong with the Daniel Family. These families left Alabama because of the yellow fever epidemics.

Lovick moved his family to Bienville Parish, louisiana by May 1855 when he purchased 400 acres of land for $103 (section 31) at a Tax Sale. December 1855, he purchased 360 acres from Isaac Sherwood for $1,080. The move to Louisiana was probably due to a brother, William Bartley Stewart, living in Bienville Parish. the 1870 Louisiana census shows Lovick is a farmer with $1,200 real estate and $600 personal property; living in Sparta, Ward 7. The 180 Louisiana census shows Frances is a widow with two sons, Judge and Matt.

Here is some information for your WorldConnect Project on Lovick M. Stewart.

Lovick M. Stewart was my great-great-great grandfather. Lovick's daughter
Mary Stewart married Benjamin M. McCoy (Civil War Veteran buried in Stewart
Cemetery, Sailes, La).

Benjamin and Mary McCoy had a son, John H. McCoy who married Willie Ann Page.
All of this is in your database. However, JH and Willie McCoy had TEN
children. Only nine of them are listed in your database. The tenth child was
John Herman McCoy, born sometime after 1899.

Next, the AnGie B. McCoy in your database should be ANNIE B (Annie Bell)
McCoy, born December 27, 1897. Annie Bell was my grandmother. She married
James Talley Stewart in March 1913 (James Talley Stewart was born October 21,
1889, died Jun3 21, 1959). Annie Bell McCoy Stewart died March 25, 1975.

including birthdates, marriages, death dates, and places of buriel (all ten

Write me at JerryAnn@@grandecom.net if you would like or need any of this
information. I think we have exchanged at least one earlier email about this
family
x. James A. Stewart was born in 1817 in Georgia. He died in 1866 in Alabama. He has reference number 22192. James A. (Thought to be Augustine) Stewart is my ancestor who married Jane Patton, daughter of John and Eliza Cooper Patton of Butler County, Alabama. His son James A. Stewart II was the only survivor in his entire family line. He moved to Kaufman County, Texas, where he married Fannie Geren. They were the parents of my Grandfather, John Moses Stewart who married Lettie Lowry of Rockwall County, Texas. The family moved to western Oklahoma in the 1920's. Most of the family still lives in Oklahoma or Texas.

xi. William Bartley Stewart was born in 1817 in Georgia. He died before 1870. He has reference number 22194. William B. Steward/t who married Nancy moved to Lowndes County, Alabama, probably form Georgia in the 1830's. I believe he is the one on the 1830 Census of Monroe County, Georgia. One of their daughters, Martha, married, James F. Smith, a planter and minister.

William was the first Bienville Parish Recorder, December 5, 1848. On the 1850 Louisiana Census, he is shown as "Recorder" with $1,000 real estate; his land transactions span 1850 thru 1866.
