Sea Captain Lovell Family Settled In Morgan County
Joy in Morgan County near Sharpsburg hosts the Lovell lands and the old Lovell house built by John Lovell son of a sea captain who arrived 135 years ago to end ocean roaming. Thomas Sturgis Lovell, born in Massachusetts, became a midshipman and master before settling in Ohio. The family recounts salt trips, land clearing, deer hunting, cheese making, and a 50 ton ship voyage to Baltimore. Captain Lovell died at 85, leaving John Lovell a noted farmer and stock dealer. A later note reports Richard Fitch of Gallipolis fined $10 in Municipal Court for reckless operation.
