The following information can be found in Montgomery County, Maryland Will Book K , pp 188-192 & 213-214 for James and Margaret Beall's estate settlements. Isaac Lovelace died in 1785 because and left no will.

Catherine remarried an unknown Taylor. Catherine was deceased by 1810. In the estate settlement from Margaret Beall's estate Zadoch Leach, Zachariah Gaither, and Isaac Taylor, all received settlements. No children from Charles Lovelace's family were named in the settlement but all the children in Isaac's family were included. In James and Margaret Beall's estate settlement there were two children Isaac and Sarah Taylor, who were also named as Catherine's heirs,( in addition to her children from Isaac Lovelace). James Lovelace, (Isaac and Catherine's oldest son) and Zadoch Leach were attorneys for Isaac Taylor and Zachariah Gaither, who was guardian of Sarah Taylor. Sarah Taylor lived with Zachariah and Margaret Lovelace Gaither.

Isam Gaither born in 1809 is the only child of Margaret Lovelace and Zachariah Gaither. Upon Margaret Gaither's death in 1811, Sarah Taylor married Zachariah Gaither. This information in my Gaither family bible from 1712. A scan of the bible page is in the Lovelace archives under Iredell County. In addition Prince Georges County , Maryland Deed Book CC#3, p. 275

Daniel Beall, Catherine Beall's brother, collected money due Isaac Lovelace for Isaac Lovelace in Prince Georges Co. Maryland. Most of these records were researched by the Beall family descendents who have proved Catherine Beall was Isaac Lovelace's wife by the will of James and Margaret Beall, naming practices, transaction and land records of Isaac and Catherine Lovelace. I looked up Jeremiah Gaither in my Gaither information, son of John and Anne Jacob Gaither. He did marry an Eleanor Lovelace. My information from Anne Arundel Gentry says Charles Lovelace appointed Jeremiah Gaither as one of his executers. Eleanor was believed to be deceased by Charles death. I know Anne Arundel says that Charles Lovelace was married to Catherine Beall, but it is not correct information per further investigation in our opinion.

More Marylanders to Carolina Migration of Marylanders to North Carolina and South Carolina Prior to 1800. By Henry C. Peden, Jr. P78 Lovelace

"in the forefront of those who came from Maryland to Iredell County NC was Isaac Lovelace, who bought into the William Archibald tract in 1772 from William Archibald Jr. and Martha Archibald. Again Isaac Lovelace bought into this old grant when he purchased from Margaret Rosebrough on Dec 26 1772, one-half of the Rosebrough land, or 320 acres which had been transferred to to her by her son John on March 22, 1768, shortly after her father's death. Two days after buying the land from Margaret Rosebrough, Isaac and Catherine Lovelace transferred it to his step-father Thomas Robey. The writer cannot definitely fix an earlier date to the arrival of any Marylanders among those who came in numbers to Fifth Creek and northward to South Yadkin River, than that of the Lovelace-Robey group. Montgomery County Maryland, from which most of the Maryland settlers in Iredell of the immediate Revolutionary period came, was a part of Frederick County until 1776, and so it is at Frederick that we find the will of John Baptist Lovelace, date July 13, 1765. He left his land, part of the well-known tract called the Hermitage and now covered by Washington suburbs, to his widow Eleanor during her life, after which it was to go to William, Luke, and Elias. His son Charles was to have the remainder of the survey and his son Issac a tract in Charles County known as Job's Comfort after the quaint way of naming Maryland land grants. One third of the personal estate was to go to the widow and the rest to Vachel (sometimes spelled Vechtel), Archibald, Mary Ann, and Millicent, minors.

Incidentally, the two Lovelace brothers, Charles and William, married sisters, Catherine and Margaret Beall, respectively, daughters of James and Margaret Edmonston Beall. The widow, Eleanor Lovelace, married the widower Thomas Robey, and with him and their familes they came to the Fifth Creek property. Their wills show them to have been slave owners, and Thomas Robey mentions an indentured servant with freedom dues to be paid. Perhaps no other indentured servants came to Fifth Creek, but in Maryland they were not unusual. Eleanor Robey's will at Salisbury October 8, 1776, mentions the same children that John Baptist Lovelace named in his will. Mary Ann had become Shaw and Archbald and Millicent were still minors. Descendants of these children held on to the old place along Fifth Creek, and made entries on Hunting Creek and Dutchman Creek, but the name has long since disappeared from the locality. Elias and Vachel, sons of John and Eleanor Lovelace, moved to Kentucky after the Revolution, in which both served.

Among those buried in the Lewis graveyard in Iredell County NC are Thomas Lovelace 1772-1829 and his wife Amelia.
