Division of Surry
A public meeting was held at Pilot Muster Ground the 3rd day of January 1852, for the purpose of taking into consideration the subject of the subdivision of Surry County and forming two new counties out of the same, including a portion of Stokes, Ashe and Wilkes. On motion of James Lovill, Esq., W. W. Wolff, Esq., was called to the Chair and Jubilee Morian and D. C. Wolff appointed Secretaries; the following resolutions were unanimously adopted.... (one of the resolutions...Chairman appoint 20 delegates in addition ...attend the general meeting to be held at Rockford.)
1860 Census. Rockford, Surry Co, NC, Hh 249
James Lovill, age 80, farmer. Sarah R., age 76
Jas. A. 30. Elizabeth 26. Augusta 20. M. Rose, age 17
W. W. age 7, Sarah C. age 5
[Obviously some of the younger children are grandchildren. Elizabeth probably the wife of James, but they aren't old enough to have Augusta and Rose and both young ladies are too young to be children of Sarah R.]
In 1850 in Surry Co, there was a household headed by Eliza Lovell, apparently a widow. She had James H. age 12, Augusta age 10, Margaret R. age 8, and Sarah M. age 6. Eliza could be the widow of Sarah & James' oldest son Thomas as he is the only one who has not otherwise been given a wife and I've seen no death date for him.
