Probable Origins

Loveda (Jernigan) Lee was born in North Carolina.

Some researchers indicate that Lovey Jernigan was the last of Kedar Jernigan's children by his second wife, who was unknown by some reports, and place Lovie's birth in Wayne County. Only children by Kedar's third or final wife were named in his will. These are collections that have few clear-cut sources, but we may have enough to at least warrant preliminary attachment of this profile for Lovie Jernigan as a daughter of Kedar Jernigan (ca. 1768-1844) by his second wife:

• Lovie is named in the death record for daughter Martha J (Lee) Jackson, who died 18 Sep 1924, Sampson County.^[7]
