General Notes

This date is estimated on basis of the fact that he was named as ason-in-law of Simon Cox in a deed dated 17 August 1806 (recorded BookR, p. 189)  Witnesses were Kindred Britt and William Coleman. Notethat this deed was not recorded until November, 1816.

It appears to me he had died by that time, since Elizabeth is listedas a head of household in the 1840 census.

Benjamin and Elizabeth Lovett sold the land given them by Simon Cox toa person named Allen in 1821.  This was recorded 26 Feb. 1823, Book T,p. 231.  Note that we know that this was the older Benjamin, ratherthan the son who was there in 1850 because the younger Benjamin wouldhave been only 11 years old at the time. Although Simon Cox did notgive his daughter's name in the deed dated 1806, we can infer that hername was Elizabeth from the second deed. Note that I have notpersonally seen this second deed, which may have explicitly mentionthe relationship, it would be worthwhile to see this deed for anyclarification that may be present.
