Mam-ma's Southern Family

Jesse Loveless, the father of Ebenezer Loveless, is my maternal 3x-great-grandfather. Because of his early history in South Carolina, I do not have much information sourced. An exact birthdate came from another researcher. The marriage is an estimate from a published source. The earliest record of someone named Jesse is the 1847 land purchase in Cass County, Georgia, where they were living in 1850. The items below are what I have collected over the years. Like the previous 12 for ’26 ancestors, I will conduct a new full-text search to add to what I know. 1806.    Jesse Loveless was born in South Carolina.

Equally with variation of the first name: Ebenezer, Ebeneezer, Ebby, Ebbie, Eb, and E. The only records found are listed below. The main question I want to answer is how he obtained the land that was later sold. Georgia There were several hits from Bartow, Georgia, particularly probate records, for an Ebenezer Loveless who died around 1863. Since our Ebenezer Loveless was born 1851, this is not him. By 1862, the family was living in Chattooga County, Georgia. Any record after 1870 would likely not be him as his father, Jesse Loveless, had moved the family to Faulkner Co, Arkansas. In checking court, deeds, probate, and vital records, I found that court records are locked in Bartow County. Deeds are locked in Chattooga County....
