Vol. I, Ch. MX V, p. 71 "It was to Stephen, therefore, thet the father naturally turned in discussing the problem of rehabilitating the family fortunes. Father and son discussed their situation and prospects for several days at the Durham Hall, the family home which Moses Austin had esteblished at ‘Mine A burten', This was in March, 1619, and it was during these discussions that the father first made the proposal of colonizing Texas, P 76 "The rest of the party continued on their way and crossed the Sabine the same day (July 10, 1621), Leaving Lt Wilson at Camp Ripley, onthe American side of the river.... In this party, according te aw tin's diary, were Edward Lovelace, W Casper, Henry Holstein and « ban nawec Bellew from Catahoula, La., James beard and William Little from St Louis » Or.

In looking through my gr grandmother Sallie Holman Lovelace's little lock bex this past week end, I found these, I knew that you would particularly enjoy see- ing Aunt Nancy Swann's letter - such beautiful penmanship. I remember that you once asked me if I had any of the original bills ef sale ef the negrees to my gxENG Gr- grandfather, William Lovelace, I alse found several of the old deeds, If you would like a copy of them for your files, I shall be happy to send photestats or KE will make a list of the people envolved and a description of the land, The most wonderful thing that I found was a list of the children of Thomas and Amelia Lovelace. Now, if the DAR wil] take this I will have a clear & complete entitlement to DAR membership, These items and the little lock box were given to me by Cousin Willie Inglish a short time before her death. Grandma Sallie made her home with Aunt Callie Inglish, MaxkMe mother of Cousin Wille for several years before her death in 1909. Do you have any idea who the pictures may be? Cousin Willie didn't know, Of course, R E L could be Rachel Elizabeth Lovelace who married Thomas 5 Stimpson, This young man does have the Stimp- son resemblance, I found so many letters from Thomas A lovelace to his mother from different places where he was located during the Civil War. Finally, there is a letter from his buddy telling of his death and his burial. He speaks so tenderly of his horse, Then, the buddy Wants to know what to do with the horse after Uncle Thomas’ death. Mrs. Heard has been so gracious in sending me information and so has Miss Lura Frances Johnson, I have received so much from the Holman side of the house alse, Now, 1 would like to work backward fremJohn baptist and Eleanor Lovelace and from David and Rachel Frost Holman, I believe that 1 am about to get a line up on the Lovelaces who helped Stephen F and Moses Austin in their colonization of Texas, To-day is such a wonderful day here but we really had a stormy week-end. A trailer camp between here and Dallas was almost wrecked, Fortunately no one was killed and enly one teen age boy was serkously injured. Crops are so far behind and very few people have any prospects for a garden due to such heavy and ‘so many rains, We have had such a prolonged spring that I'm afraid that summer will come on with a vengence, I still have not had one word from Dr. Marc Lovelace but I'm going to hound him until 1 learn something of his background. I do appreciate so much the clippings ef Dr, Austin C Lovelace and of Alfred Monroe Lovelace, Come to think of it, I might never have had any word from Dr. Austin C had I not written him that my nephew, John, has used his composition as a sole several times, I den't know I can prey en Dr, Maro's mercenary tendency since he seems to be a digger of fenkivnyxakex fessiles, etc, I wrote to him because he has been mentioned in several different lineages that have been sent to me, You will never know how much I appreciate your and Mrs. Swann's help in this past- time and study. I was in Dallas last week and Called Mrs. Myren Turner, Her voice was so weak, She said that her husband is in a hospital and that she is at home alone. I have invited myself back to her home to look over her papers, She says that she is se poorly that she just doesn't fee] like even looking up the papers, She is an interesting talker and seemed interested in my having any information that she may have in, addition to what 1 already have, One of the nice things about my study, I have learned that one of my best frierds in the Dallas office is related to me. One day she quite incidently said that her mother's given name was —-~--- Lovelace -—-~--, Sure enough in writing to a sister of the mether who lives in San Angelo, Texas, I'm about te connect their family with ours.

I may have the temerity te write-her again, Also, your explanations df the people I mentioned in Smith's History o Troup Co., Georgia, are simply "out of this world". You have been most kind to give me these and other data. My sister says you must be innately good to send me so much information about our relatives. Usually persons possessed of abunda ant knowledge (as you have of the Lovelaces) are too "Snippy" to reveal much of it. And I appreciate your kindness more than you can know, I was puzzled about the 2nd William Lovelace, and had never heard of him xaf before. All the information our family has about the Lévelaces came originaly from our grandmother, Mary Lovelace dau. of John and gr. dau. of Wm. She lived in our home="off and on"-- from the time of the marriage of my mothtr and father 1868--until her death in 1886. She was b. 1803, and certainly she knew her gr» f. as Wa. L., who m.

(not far from Rdgefield). fhe fact that John at that time had no children, j»—. o") while Wm. had several seemed to us to corroborate Grandmother's statement ‘<j ] (made years before, of course, when we were children) that Wm. was the father and John, the son, We accepted the census at it's face value: we had never heard anything else. While we wer@ still children our family moved to Texas, where for almost 4 generation we heard but little of our relatives in the "deep South". They wrote my our parents only occasionally, but we children still clung to the ideas we had of the family. When Mr. McClendon wrote me about 2 years ago that we had no right to claim Wa. as our gt. gt. grandfather, he simply didn't know the facts concerning gur Line of the family, and I wanted to tell him so; but being not very disputatiows and having respect for his age, I refrained until I was as- sured that my sister, whom I was nursing at the time, whuld live. Then, consid- ering his age, I wrote him as cautiously as possible. I was heart-broken. Did you ever try to defend yourself and your family for somethinf you couldn't muxa understand and didn't know about? > I understand your explanation thoroughly, but it is something I have never ¢ heard stated before. It seems plausible, however, when I read it from your pen, 2 yet it was a cipeumstance that was never spoken of in our family. There is no ; tradition, so far as I know, Mxmmxer concerning a second William. As you know, however, I was not quite 10 years old when we came to Texas; and though my ie F cerning concerning many things have become considerably enlarged, those con- cerning the Lovélaces have remained stationary. This was perhaps because we penne heard from them, or talked much of th. em. , There was always somethi puzzling about the ages of the Lovelaces. Facts - dates seemed irreconcilable. And Grandmother herself would never permit the names of her ch’! ldren to. be recorded.in the Family Bible. She always insisted that she didn't wamt other people to know the ages of any of the family. This 5-was just a laughing matte r for Mother; she con sidered it a strange peculiarity Whatever private records Grandmother had were all lost after her dact 4 I hope you will send this letter to our cousin (Mrs, Sapp) im Dalton, and 4s* wiliwrite her when I can.

I am beginning to think that my Benjamin «Lovelace line might tie in with Gaither lines, as well as a Magrider line. *'. J am also of the opinion that Benjamin Lovelace did not marry a Saray Roby, Ybut perhaps a Sarah Barton? I think that Sarah, daughter of Thomas “Roby, married Charles Lovelace, son of John Baptist. 4 think Sarah was the mother of Charles’ children. ‘Thomas Roby mentions his daughter Sarah Lovelace in his will in 1774, and he also mentions Charles Lovelace. 1 think Sarah Roby died in Md. before Charles went to N.C. (he did not go there until after the Revolutionary War) and then Charles married in 1781, Catherine Beall, who was about 4] years old when Charles' first child was born. This is not impossible, but highly unlikely in those days. vames Beall's will of 178] names his daughter Catherine Lovelace, so we know Catherine had married Charles by 1781. I) believe Sarah died shortly before 1781. It is obvious that Catherine was not’ the mother of Charles' children, so he must have had a previous wife and sifite Thomas Roby names Charles (he was to have. the use of a negro slave, +.believe), I think Charles was the husband of Sarah Roby, ’ Here is the Gaither data I have,. which may tie in with the Lovelace line, ‘and I would appréciate your thoughts on this: Capt. John Gaither, b. ca 1740, Md., d. 1809 in N.C. | Had a brother Benj n Gaither - and John and Benjamin married sisters, Ann and Rachel Jacob (daughters of Jeremiah and Rachel Gaither Jacob). Benjamin Gaither named one son Reason Gaither, b. ca 1770: one son¢ was dachariah Gaither, 6. 1772, and Edward Gaither, born ca 1774. Zachariah Gaither Married first Margaret Lovelace (who was she??-?) and they had only 1 child = Isham Gaither (1809-180,). Isham Gaither named one of his sons Zadock Gaither. Edward Gaither had a son Silas, who named one of his sons Barton Gaither. —> Benjamin Lovelace, born ca 1727, had a son Batton, Zadock, Reason and Benjamin, as wells Elkanah (the oldest son of Ben jamin,or. ) je . of The 1777 Militia List for Montgomery Co., Md. has Zadock Magruder; Jeth.. Gaither; Benj. Lovélace; Eihonah Lovelace; John Hoby; Patrick Hobey; Ben. Gaither; Barton Lovelace; Geo. Beall; It is possible that Zadock Lovelace (son of Benjamin, Sr.) married Elizabeth Magruder - we know he married Elizabeth. Since you have Gaither lines, according to Mr. Hibbard, I am hoping you might throw some light on this Gaither-Lovelace connection - if there is any. I-wonder who the Margaret Lovelace is, who married Zachariah Gaither? I am still working on Beall and Roby lines’, although I do not know if they connect with my Lovelace or not. So many people are working on those ‘ines and 1 do have information to pass on, SO I'll keep working. I have sent you all I have on them to date, but will continue to keep you informed. si MS A » * ¥ Pe Ws 5. 3 bid’ cat's you this before? ei haa Scale ae ‘ I =? od ae Ae Pog tinge tap » Heaetag ri Md.

John Baptist - too early for her. I don't have my notes in front of me so I am guessing, but I am going to check further. The dau. of John Baptist was a minor in 1776, and we donot know her birth gate, She married Evan Beall, wno died ‘in 1794 and later married Doughtery."So, this could be Mellesent, the dau. of John Baptist, for she would have been maybe 18 or 20 in 1783 and this means she would have been born about 1763/65 - or just shortly, before her father died. This also means that’ Mellesent was married’ three times - if this is the daughter of John Baptist Lovelace. What do you think? wis I already commented on this Luke Lovelace marriage of 1800 to Mary Ridgeway. I think perhaps someone just assumed this was the son of John Baptist, although it could be. Luke is one we don't have any information on, but from some of the material sent me by Mr. Hibbard, I°’ think maybe John Baptist had a brother Luke, as well as a son Luke. Mary xaiMa ybe Luke, son of John Baptist, was married late in life, or i may have been a XBER second marriage for him. But I thought he was in N. by 18600? He was named in his mother's will, was he not? I wonder who these other Lovelaces were? ‘ There is a Samuel Lovelace and a William Lovelace in Charles Co., ease pe Census - Port Tobacco, East Hundred. & a Lae: Vlhetent aA Pil, te IF gee | tesa, 3 gts ah VO Pi bab dhe Ae die hi Tt ¥ bly . pile “Lhe frig 5 os DB * l/4F- Cb 1N7=-1r% 11-9 -18 FE Dewroje. 0 capped! 7 -% : (simone r P VI tw oem ot { \ ht prvcdine.

J. W. LYNCH, D.D. : One day last summer in a corridor of Scotland County's courthouse at Laurinburg, we passed L. M Peele who that day had retired after 40 years as county school superintendent. He is a Trinity College (Duke now) man. He had just cleaned out his desks and. files and was leaving for home, but one: thing he took with him and had in his hands at the time was the June 7. 1908, issue of “The Biblical Recorder” which had on the front page the sermon printed here “It is the most powerful sermon I have ever read.” he said. Four months later in the stackroom of the WFC library, we asked Dr. Paschal what in his opinion is the greatest sermon ever preached on the campus. He replied: “Without a doubt, Lynch’s ‘The Divine In stallation of the Human Life Ep ‘Then Jehovah put forth his hand. and- touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me. Behold I have put my words in thy mouth: see I have this day set thee over the nations. and over the kingdoms. to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to ‘build and to plant.’ Jer. 1:9, 10. The-unique and remarkable personality to whom these words were spoken was born at a place called Anathoth. a little village three miles north of Jerusalem. His name is Jeremiah, which means, ‘Whom Jehovah has appointed.” He was of priestly lineage, and was destined, like our Lord. to be a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief: the type of his suffering nation and one of its greatest prophets While very young he was invested with the prophetic office, and his ministry extended over forty years witnessing the rise and fall of tive kings. He came to the nation when gods were plentiful and men were scarce—so scarce that the prophet caused the following advertisement to be réad in the capital city Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ve can find a if there be man any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth Such preach Dr. J.

It dignifies and ennobles life by linking it with God and eternity, as dew-drops are sphered by the distant stars. It tends to reconcile us to our lot, giving songs in the night, and making our hearts to cry, “Abba, Father.” Standing upon this solid teaching, as upon a rock-ribbed mountain, Paul was able to see far and to say: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” (4) The figure of the potter and the clay recurs, and again and again it comes. Theology cannot ignore it: philosophy cannot dispense with it; science .cannot get away from it; experience cannot deny it; and song and poetry are compelled to image it. “Thou seemest human and divine, The highest, holiest, manhood, thou: Our wills are ours, we know not how Our wills are ours to make them 'thine. “Our little systems have their day, They have their day and cease to be: They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, O Lord, art more than they.” II. The awakened consciousness of the divine purpose in the soul. “Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child.” (1) It was a cry of pain—the pain every earnest man feels when he is brought face to face with the map of his destiny. Caesar felt it when he crossed the Rubicon. Saul - of Tarsus felt it when he fell dazed and blind on the Damascus road. Jesus felt it when He cried in the shadow of the cross: ‘‘Now is my soul troubled; shall I say, Father, save me from this hour? for this cause came I into the world.” You felt it when you left home for college, or chose your calling and pitched your tent towards the goal of your ambftion. You felt it supremely, agonizingly, when you May Issue WAKE FOREST COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS gave your heart to Christ, and took upon you the vows of the Christian life. The mourners’ bench is not misnamed. Your tears there were not all due to excitement, or re- morse. God had hold of you, and “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” In that supreme hour of - destiny fear and confidence wrestled in your soul, like Jacob and the angel at the brook Jabbok. God held you until it hurt. After the conflict the sun rose upon you, but you went away limping. Like the prophet Isaiah you got a glimpse and touch of_the eternal burning before swhich cherub kneels and seraph bows and angel yeilsthe face How shall we understand the suffering solemnity of a marriage? The glad hour is fraught with pain, like the rose that conceals a thorn. In spite of floral decorations, joyous music, and brilliant attire, the hush of painful solicitude comes over the festive scene. Loved ones weep, or suppress; their tears. The contracting parties approach the altar with trembling knees and choking voices; The minister, accus- tomed to public speaking and familiar with his ceremony, is-often visibly affected and sometimes embarrassed. How shall we explain this tension of hearts? It is the tremble of the soul in the presence of destiny. There is about to be enrolled for the first time the map of two human lives. Paul indicates the awfulness of the soul’s contact with the infinite when he wrote: ‘Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God that worketh in you.” (2) And yet self-distrust may go too far. Humility may be reduced to zero. The soul must not wear the conscious- ness of its predestination as a binding Nessus shirt. The capital I must be invested in every successful enterprise and endeavor. If you have no confidence in yourself, the world will take no stock in your work. Hence God’s rebuke of the young man’s diffidence. “Say not I am a child: for to whomsoever I send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak.” “Only a clod” is the surprising epitaph inscribed on the frail memorial of a peasant in an English church-yard. Whether dictated in pathetic or cynical temper that epitaph is really very grand. What wonderful things are latent in a clod! All possibilities of form, color, fragrance and fruitfulness, are there. Put a clod in God’s hands and see what He can do with it. He warms it with His sun, moistens it with His dew, fattens it with His chemistry, impregnates it with His life, and out of the God-filled and God-tilled elod come exquisite shapes, ravishing hues, purple clusters, strength- ening bread, gladdening oil, dropping honey, burning roses, bridal lilies, and a thousand other miracles of grace and glory. “Say not I am a ehild.”’ “Stand up! thou art as true a man As moves the human mass among; As much a part of the great plan That with creation’s dawn began, As any of the throng. “The great! what better they than thee? As theirs, is not thy will as free? Has God with equal favors thee Neglected to endow? “With.these, and passions under ban. True faith, and holy trust in God, Thou art the peer of any man! Look up, then, that thy little span Of life may be well trod.” III. The equipment and consecration of life for the accomplishment of the divine purpose. “Then Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah: said unto me, Behold I have put my words in thy mouth.” In the light of other and parallel passages I understand this to ‘mean sanctification, inspiration, endowment— in short, the communication of a divine message. (1) Jeremiah made the mistake of thinking that God’s message can only be spoken. Moses made the same mistake at the burning bush. Said he in answer to God’s command: “O, my Lord, I am not eloquent .. . but am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” ‘“‘And the Lord said unto him, ‘Who made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now there- fore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.’ ” (2) There are thousands of ways of translating God's words.

J. W LYNCH, D.D. One day last summer in a corridor of Scotland County's courthouse at Laurinburg, we passed L, M Peele who that’ day had retired after 40 years as county school superintendent. He is a Trinity College (Duke now) man. He had just cleaned out his desks and files and, was leaving for home, but one thing he took with him and had in his hands at the time was the June 7, 1908, issue of “The Biblical Recorder” which had on the front page the sermon printed here “It is the most powerful sermon I have ever read,” he said. Four-months later im the stackroom of the WFC library,-we asked Dr. Paschal what in his opinion is the greatest sermon ever preached on-the campus. He replied: “Without a doubt, Lynch’s ‘The Divine In tallation ofthe Human Life’.”—-Ep “Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold I have put my words in thy mouth: see 1 have this day set thee over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” JER. 1:9, 10. The unique .and remarkable personality to whom these words were spoken was born at a place called Anathoth, a little village three miles north of Jerusalem. His name 1s Jeremiah, which means, “Whom Jehovah has appointed.” He was of priestly lineage, and was destined, like our Lord, to be a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; the-type of his suffering nation and one of its greatest prophets While very young he was invested with the prophetic office, and his ministry extended over forty years, witnessing tne rise and fal] of five kings He came to the nation when gods were plentiful and men were scarce so scarce that the prophet caused the following advertisement to be read in the capital city: — Run: ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth.” Such preach Dr. J. W. Lynch fore I formed these, ing was unpopular, and evoked a storm of’criticis™ From beginning to end the prophet was a mark for obloquy The people disliked him; 1s brother priests hated him kin. scorned him All his life he had to contend against the his OW despair which makes men 1iose confidence in the promises ef God and in their own future. One thing saved him that one which is the equal of the sum total of comforts, namely, the consciousness Of a divine purpost his life He wanted to give UP, but the purpose held him to his melancholy task, as the nails: held Jesus to the cross. He had apprehende i that for which he had been apprehended, and nothing could break the divine connection See him tugging at the chain that bound him to the Throne. “Then I said, | will not make mention of him, nor speak any Mo! in his name. But his word was In my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I could not stay ’ He was a Prometheus bound, while vultures tore his heart—but he brought us fire from heaven! His faith saved him, as indeed it must save every man called of God. Like the noble Roman who bought at its full value the ground on which- the forces ol Hannibal were encamped, he, too, bought in the darkest nour of his life, with all requisite forma ities the field on which he was born, proclaiming that under the Lord of Righteousness the. veice of gladness would once more be heard 1n the land. In his last years he was driven into exile banished to the land of Egypt, and. died at last in a foul pit in his own country, a martyr tothe aivine purpose that drove and held him. ™ After the prophet’s death came his apotheosis Hi countrymen began to call him a prophet, then a great prophet, and finally the prophet He takes his place with { Moses. Isaiah, Daniel, and these le@om upon the plane o! Jewish history, like the Pyramids ‘lhouetted against the Egyptian sand, and surviving the ruins of a hundred civilizations. We approach such a life with reverence We become interested and sympathe tic spectators to the formal exer cises of the young man’s graduation and final commission We expect and.we shall find parallelisms 1n Jeremiah’s life and in ours: for all these things happened unto them for ensamples; and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world By following the ancient record of this particular transaction » are able to trace the method and process of the divine installation of a human life. We note: t . The pre natal purpose of God in a human life. ‘“Be- I knew thee. and before thou came st forth | sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (1) These words hold and teach the v¢ nerable and dig nified doctrine of divine election to service. The young prophet was made to understand in the beginning that the map of his destiny had been printed in heaven. H: had only to follow and All in its outlines to fulfill the divine purpose and expectation In his life. That the prophet so understood it is plain in his own words: “O Lord, I know that the ways of a man is not in himself: it 1S not in.a man to direct his steps (2) A belief in the pre-determined purpose of God in come form and under some name has shaped the course and moulded the career of the world’s strong men They have moved in the direction of its propelling power, as trains follow the iron-bound track, or electric curremts run over the far-reaching wires (3) Without such a doctrine man lives a purpost lessylife in a causeless world: The doctrine is rational, yea, Impera It rectifies are come tive-—the only escape from intellectual despall the scientific idea of development It eliminates atheism from evolution It drives Chance from the universe. It makes Law a servant, and not master. It gives personality to God, and breaks the paralyzing spell of Fatalism. It asserts a living, thinking, willing, loving Cause in all things, and calls it God, Father, Saviour, Guide and Com forter. It assigns God a part in our formation and our career. It explains and glorifies individuality. It accounts for departures from the usual order, which have given the world some of its greatest and most useful men. They were unlike their sires or their age, and they rose because they were God-called, God-filled and God-led Back of and antedating Darwin's law of variation are the words ‘one DEPARTMENT.
