In 1730, John Baptist Lovelace married Eleanor/Ellinor (possibly Wilcoxen) who was possibly from Wilkes County, North Carolina.

John died in 1765 at the age of 53 leaving behind 8 children from ages 1 to 25.

His will, written in Frederick County, Maryland named his wife and all his children:

  • 129 acres of Hermitage to wife Eleanor.
  • To William [22], Elias [10], and Luke [24] at Eleanor’s death.
  • rest of Hermitage to Charles [21].
  • 120 1/2 acres of Job’s Comfort, in Charles County, to Isaac [24].
  • 1/3 of personal estate to wife.
  • 2/3 of personal estate to Vachel [07], Mary Ann [14], Archibald [04], and Millesent [01]

From the language used to name his children, we know they were all residing close to him in Maryland. None had yet moved to North Carolina. Frederick County, Maryland, Will Book A1, pages 245-246

John’s widow, Eleanor, married a widower, Thomas Robey, and with their combined families they moved to Fifth Creek, Iredell County, North Carolina.
