I think that the link with the Draytons is through the name Meigs. I've just set up the group - The Draytons and the Grimkes - on this site. Would you like to join? All the best, Bill Drayton.

If you type George Andrew Loveland into Google Books, you'll see many reports from him! He moved to Nebraska after serving in the Civil War, taught meteorology at the university, and lived there (in university housing much of the time) with his wife and children almost his entire life.

There is a really great Loveland genealogy page that talks about the book in question. The page is http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~djmurphy/loveland/index.htm and the book set is called The Genealogy of the Loveland Family. Many researchers have treated it as the gospel of Loveland genealogy, but the site raises some interesting questions about some of the book's assumptions. Volume 3 is available on Google Books, but the rest of the citations appear to be more recent reprints without uploads. Typing "Loveland genealogy" into the Books search engine garners some additional hits. In the past I have found some writings on Google Books by an ancestor's brother, who was a scientist in the early 1900s. I always find it worthwhile to try typing specific peoples' names into the engine - sometimes I have broken through brick walls that way!

Anyway, in the box I also received a few old photographs that I am hoping to scan and upload to Genealogy Wise soon. I haven't had much time to look through the information my mother sent yet, but I will update you when I do.

I'm happy to have met you!

I saw your comment about Elizur Loveland in a search of the site to see if anyone had posted anything about the Lovelands. Have you traced Elizur back? As he was already here at the time of the Revolutionary War, it's likely we are descended from the same Loveland branch, as most North American Lovelands are. My mother recently sent me some of my father's things, including a very old copy of the Loveland Genealogy book set that was published in the late 1800s.

If you'd like to talk more, please feel free to message me instead of leaving a comment. Thanks!
