The majority of the Lovejoy data was gleaned from the CE Lovejoy,
Lovejoy Family dated
1930. Additional data has been supplied by Aunt Mabel Lunderville, Linda,
Sharon, Kathy and Pat; the State of Maine Vital Records, Placer & El
Dorado Counties for California Vital records.
Lowell data has been gleaned from The Historic
Genealogy of the Lowells of America dated 1899. A very special thanks to Jean Hankins of Otisfield ME. Without her help
and guidance, I would still be looking for my Lowell family! And John - you've provided the nudge I needed to tie the Cooper's
and Lowell's together.
Cooper data has been an ongoing battle. Lloyd and Eda
Cooper of Berkeley, CA were great help as I've tried to match names and
families. The Placer County CA Archives has been a wonderful source of
information. I'd love to contact descendents of Andrew and Mehitable Cooper
for sure! And 'Cousin' Kate. You keep me on the right path! I'm still looking
for Lorenzo's kin and will find them if they exist. In the mean time, keep
those jokes coming :-)
I am only now starting to dig into the Harper side of this research project. I have many early photographs of Harpers,
Gibsons, Adairs, etc and will try to post them as soon as I can. A wonderfully informative site is the
Holderby site.
I am updating some additional
COOPER kin data. How exciting to find this 'long lost' connection in
Wyoming! I even found Mary Jane in New Hampshire!! :-) jt
6/22/2008: I am finally able to present
an update for this database! I have added Harper information as well
as some Lovejoy and Lowell information but I'm MOST excited that I actually
have been able to 'find' some additional COOPER kin! How exciting
:-) jt
Oh happy days! We have kin! Maedean Harper Rainbow sent me an email
and has since provide so MUCH information - names, dates, places AND
photos! As
soon as I am able, I will create a photo 'album' on-line! (Maedean
is the daughter of Clarence Harper; son of James W Harper... my
husband is the grandson of Dorsey W Harper, son of James W Harper!!)
As with any research I expect you will see some errors. Please don't hesitate identifying my mistakes! But when you do, I'd like
some information from YOU! And most importantly,
if you have access to any portraits or photographs of individuals identified here, I would really like to include the images
you find with the names they match!
I've been able to ADD to the Lovejoy information! While researching for more info on Clara
Greenleaf (Page) Lovejoy I found HER brother was married to Loreston's sister! And, for a short while, this couple lived in Iowa Hill!! |
