Since the tax records are in her name and not her husband Chauncey\u2019s, this may mean she inherited the property from her father and there were no other sibs eligible for inheritance (hence her father must have died 1831-1832).

\u00a0\u00a0RULE 1<\/b>: DNA<\/b> can only be inherited from individuals who are on the direct line, not on a collateral line.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0RULE 2<\/b>: Absence of evidence is evidence, but not proof of absence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0RULE 3<\/b>: The frequency of useful shared matches decreases going back generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0RULE 4<\/b>: There may be many matches that contain pieces of ancient DNA, but these are only useful if a pedigree connection to the ancient line has been proven.<\/span><\/p>\n

This descendency is confirmed by hundreds<\/i> of DNA matches as well as strongly-supporting historical records; not shown.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Figure 3. Analysis of Loveland Common Ancestors of ETS<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Above is shown an analysis of the Loveland CAs (Figure 3, n=number of matches). Note that the individual match cM (centimorgan) value is highly variable and is poorly predictive of the CA (common ancestor) generation. However an average of the cMs of multiple matches can be used to predict with some accuracy the CA generation, the generation of connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Loveland lineage is confirmed by at-DNA<\/b> (Common Ancestors, hereafter CA) back to Thomas Loveland (1641-1716, m. Charity Hart<\/b><\/span>) of Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut; data not shown. \u2026Not so, the Graham lineage, discussed later. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The Loveland\/Loveman family were early settlers of Wethersfield, the oldest town in Connecticut (founded 1634). The Graham family were early settlers of nearby Hartford (founded 1636). It is ironic that Chauncey Loveland (gg-gson of Thomas Loveland should marry Nancy Graham (gg-gdau of Henry Graham).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sanderson\/Stevens Hoax<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is commonly believed19<\/a><\/sup>Cf.<\/i> FamilySearch Family Tree, My Heritage, and various Trees on Ancestry.<\/span> that Nancy\u2019s parents were Samuel Graham<\/b> and wife Nancy Stevens<\/b> of Ohio or James\/Joseph Graham<\/b> (b. 18 Dec 1769 of Madison in the Western Reserve20<\/a><\/sup>1769 is early to be born in the Western Reserve; there was only significant settlement after the Revolutionary War; for example, Cleveland was first settled in 1796 (Wikipedia).<\/span>) and wife Nancy Sanderson<\/b> (b. abt 1771, m. 1829 at Franklin Co., Kentucky).21<\/a><\/sup>Graham\/Sanderson marriage: U. S. and International Marriage Records, he b. 1769, she b. 1771; online at Ancestry (accessed 17 Jan 2020).<\/span> This is not true<\/u>; there are no historical records establishing a link between the Nancy Graham, who married Chauncey Loveland, and these potential parents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Additionally, there are no ETS<\/b>, RLT, or GLT at-DNA matches<\/b> to Stevens surnames {Nancy Stevens (1761-1845) or her father Benjamin Stevens (1734-1810) of Dutchess Co., New York} or to Sanders\/Sanderson surnames {Nancy Sanders (md. James Graham in 1829) of Franklin Co. Kentucky). There are also no obvious links to a Stevens line or Sanderson line in a search for relevant matches. This is supporting evidence for the absence of a Stevens\/Sanders relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ETS<\/b> is Enid (Tolman) Sealy, paternal aunt of RLT<\/strong> (author, ggg-gson of Nancy Graham) and GLT<\/strong> (brother of author). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There is also the matter of whether this even makes any sense. The Nancy Graham birthplace in the Western Reserve of Connecticut was accessible at that time (1796-7) only by travel on Lake Erie from Fort Niagara, New York. Settlements in what became Butler County, Ohio (or Kentucky) for that matter were accessed by travelling downstream on the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Travel from these Ohio river places to Trumbull County was not only unthinkable but also practically un-doable there being Indians, Indian trails and impassible wilderness in central Ohio in the way in 1796.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parentage of Nancy (Graham) Loveland<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0There was no census in 179022<\/a><\/sup>Thorndale, William and William Dollarhide Map Guide to the U. S. Federal Censuses 1790-1920<\/i> (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1987).<\/span> in the Western Reserve (Northern Territories) and the only Graham in the 1800 and 1810 census (tax records) was Elisha Graham in Trumbull then Geauga County, Paynesville Township, who established his home there in 1799.23<\/a><\/sup>Upton, Harriet Taylor and Harry Gardner Cutler History of the Western Reserve<\/i>, Vol 1 (Chicago, IL: Lewis Publishing Co., 1910), p. 298.<\/span> Similarly, FamilySearch Family Tree has Nancy\u2019s father as Samuel (b. 1771, Wethersfield, Connecticut), married Sally Coltrin, (see Millennium File), or Nancy Stevens (b. 1761). No sources confirm the father-dau relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is therefore a 1C1R of Nancy Graham\u2014his father John Chauncey Graham was Nancy Graham\u2019s brother. The CA (common ancestor) is Nancy\u2019s and John Chauncey\u2019s father Samuel Graham (1771-1832) of Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. This is confirmed by matches to descendants of Samuel\u2019s other children vide infra<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It is likely that Nancy\u2019s forebears came from Connecticut and were veterans of the Revolutionary War as these were the usual recipients of Western Reserve land grants. Nancy cannot have been a sib of Napoleon (26 year age difference) or a dau of John Chauncey Graham (b. 1787).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Graham is unfortunately a common name in colonial America\u201426 Grahams have Revolutionary War Pension Records\u20143 or 4 of them from Connecticut. There were multiple Grahams who immigrated to America from Scotland or Northern Ireland. A genealogist must be very careful in deducing intergenerational relationships as we will see.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A Michigan mugbook27<\/a><\/sup>\u2018Napoleon B. Graham of Parma Township\u2019 Portrait and Biographical Album of Jackson County, Michigan<\/i> (Chicago, IL: Chapman Bros. 1890) pp. 529-30, hereafter NB Graham Biography<\/b>.<\/span> contains a biography of Napoleon B. Graham, a son of John and Chloe (Graham) Graham who was born in 1825, a native of Painesville, Ohio. It further states that his grandfather Samuel, \u2018a Scotchman by birth,\u2019 fought in the Revolutionary War and afterward settled in the Ohio woods near the town of Painesville. Grandfather Samuel\u2019s children are named: Solomon, John, Betsey, Samuel and Sarah.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Napoleon\u2019s grandfather (Samuel) left Ohio in 1825 to farm in Erie County, New York and left there for Michigan in 1831. At the end of his life he moved to Parma Township, Jackson, Michigan and died there at almost age 97 proceeded by his wife who died at 95 years. Samuel\u2019s son John and his wife Chloe\u2019s children are named by the at-DNA<\/b> donor\u2019s tree.28<\/a><\/sup>Carr\/Tunnicliff Tree<\/b>.<\/span> Nancy then would have stayed with the Ohio farm with her husband while her parents moved on to Erie County, New York. This is consistent with the at-DNA<\/b> data as well as the historical record; and there are also five RLT\/GLT matches to members of this family that support this assignment. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reiterating then, the N. B. Graham Jackson County biography states29<\/a><\/sup>NB Graham Biography<\/b>.<\/span> that Napoleon B.\u2019s father was John Chauncey Graham (1787-1848) and that his grandfather was Samuel Graham, an \u2018immigrant from Scotland\u2019 (disproven by at-DNA<\/b> vide infra<\/i>) who fought30<\/a><\/sup>Saml Graham, Military Service Feb 1778, New Jersey, Revolutionary War Rolls, 1775-1783, there are a number of other Grahams who fought in the war, but no other Saml Graham; online at Ancestry (accessed 17 Jan 2020).<\/span> in the American War for Independence. Furthermore, the grandfather is said to have settled near Painesville in northern Ohio after the war and then to have moved ultimately to Parma Township, Jackson, Michigan where he died at nearly age 96; this would be about the year 1867. His wife preceded him shortly in death at age 95. If this is correct, why are there are no records of his burial in Jackson County, Michigan? The earliest burial in the Graham Cemetery in Parma is 1844 (Chloe Graham, John\u2019s wife). It is reasonable assumption that if he died after 1844, he would have been buried in the Graham Cemetery or at least in Parma. This makes us question the mugbook report of his death in 1867. The DNA data and independent historical records confirm him to be the Connecticut-born Samuel Graham born in 1771.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Samuel had other children for whom an at-DNA<\/b> link has been demonstrated.

106. Chester was a colorful individual with an aggressive character at 6\u2019 2\u201d and 240 pounds. He was a captain in the Nauvoo Legion and later a colonel (Utah). He served on a jury in Hancock County, Illinois with 11 mobocratic other jurors; the accused were some \u2018wrongly accused brethren.\u2019 He held the jury 36 hours until they were nearly starved\u2014the vote was 11 guilty, 1 not guilty and they encouraged him to sign the guilty verdict. He said \u2018No, gentlemen, before I sign that paper I will die in this room and red ants will carry me out through the key hole.\u2019 He was a colonist and Stake President in the Carson Valley settlement in Nevada (then Utah). Later he was the first mayor of Brigham City, Utah (1867-1875). He had many close encounters with death including being asked by Brigham Young to troubleshoot Indian raiding of Utah emigrants on the Platte River. Indians stole teams on the Sweet Water which were recovered by Loveland after a hard struggle (recounted in Loveland and Loveland III, p. 202-204).<\/span><\/p>\n
