Mary Freeman Lovett
I found the following information.Apparently Mary Freeman, wife of Richard Lovett 1750-1820, died shortly before 17 Nov 1837 in Crawford County, Georgia, where she must have moved to after the death of Richard.I assume that her son-in-law, Andrew Kennedy, was appointed as her administrator because all the other children had moved away by that time.
I am not sure what became of the balance of her estate (other than her young slaves).
