There is a listing for an Elizabeth Loving, which is probably LouAnn Elizabeth Loving. The information is as follows: Loving, Elizabeth Age 34 Gender F Death Date March 1870 Location Sabine, Texas Cause Consumption Birth Location Texas."

Notes:

Of Fayette County, Georgia (Casagranda)

Came to Texas before 1860, settling in Sabine County. His mother Lydia Loving also came with them. They sought refuge in Fort Jessup during the Run-away-scrape. Manuel Loving received a land grant in Sabine County on the Sabine River in the Isla community, and his descendants still live there; although the waters of the Toledo Reservoir have covered most of the land grant. There is a letter written by him in the Blake collection on Aug. 22, 1849, from Fannin County, Texas, to Mr. A.H. Weir, Esq. in Milam. The letter states that he is accompanied by Capt. Titus and 125 Old Indian Fighters, and they are searching for minerals above the Red and Washita rivers. He mentions his son, William, and states that he hopes to be home by November. He also joined the gold rush in California. (White and Toole, p 35).


Leatha Betts shared the following article, found by Suzanna Els Edwards. Both are descendants of Manuel Walton Loving, (the old man).

Fatal Affray in Sabine County. On Monday last, as a Mr. Lovin was returning from Milam to his residence in Sabine Conty, in company with his son William and nephew, (note:probably Adam Ard)...he fell in with a youth named Hoffman, at or near the Patroon bridge. Loving soon commenced abusing Hoffman by calling him, among other names, a theif. Young Hoffman (?John?) remarked to the old man that his being drunk alone saved him from a whipping, and turned to speak to William Lovin when the old man drew a pistol on him and fired, the ball penetrating his body. Hoffman staggered back, with his rifle in his hand, when he received two other shots, one in the neck--supposed to have been fired by the young Lovins. He then raised his rifle, and fired at old Lovin, (who was running) shooting him through the body and killing him instantly. The report of the several guns having alarmed Hoffman's family who resided near the spot--several persons came to his relief and the fight ended. At last accounts Hoffman was still alive. The two Lovin's have been arrested. -- San Augustine Herald

Notes:

Appears to be FULLEN from viewing the actual census microfilm. In Schluter and Toole's transcription of the 1850 Sabine County, Texas Census, he was listed as Powell FULLER.

Powell W. FULLER (sic) 34 m SC Farmer

Lou Ann E. 14 f Ky (m. Manuel Walton LOVING, son of Manuel W. Loving & Elizabeth Chiles)

He is living in the household immediately following William and Mahala CLARK, and preceding Elijah and Jane Clark. William Clark is said to be from Edgefield County, SC.

Said by Amy FULLEN to be a brother-in-law of Rebecca Fullen--the mother of William, John and James Fullen. She was a widow on the 1850 Sabine County, Census.

Note: On the actual census microfilm, the final letter of Powell's name is not clearly an N or an R. Debra LaMel writes that Eliza J BURROUGHS is actually a granddaughter of Powell and Sarah. This makes possible that the younger Rachel is a granddaughter as well.

On the 1870 Sabine County transcription by Blanche Toole, he is again listed as P.N. FULLER, in household 624/624. Again, on the actual microfilm, the accurate spelling of the name is not clear.

The relationship between the Davidson and Fullen/Fuller family is not known. Malvina Beddoe Davidson, however, is not a daughter of Powell and Sarah.

At the time of the 1880 census, Powell could not be found. His wife, Sarah, presumably widowed, was living with her daughter, Rachel, and son-in-law, John HARRIS in Henderson County, Texas.

Powell married Sarah R ??? before 1836. Sarah was born about 1816 in Virginia; died after 1880. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
