~e L0V~JOY FAMILY
of ANDOVER - Notes - 13-A
One of the most interesting lines in Andover:
BatrdJs!!French Hugenots of America," gives the French refugees ,..
of ~a1em, among whom were the Yalpeys, in 1661. l~e tale is from
this family,to the effect that the Va1pey who came first, WaS
from the Isle of ~ersey,and with his mates was lost from a fishing
fleet in an open boat, and drifted down from the Banks, p~rhaps to
Salem Harbor, or where Salem mariners picked them up. He never
returned.
Abraham Valpey of ~alem married Elizabeth Fowle, Sept. 28,
1728, and our line descends from her.
Do~cas Abbott, born fuarch 26, 1782, daughter of Jonathan (5)
Abbott and Dorcas Abbott, married George Valpey, of Salem, and these
/~ were parents of ~amuel S. Valpey of Andover. Jonathan (5), above, was
-- son of Jonathan (4) and Martha Lovejoy; Abbott, so i::)amuel Valpey was
grandson of Martha Lovejoy, while his wife was a grandaughter of.
Lucy Lovejoy.
Seldom do lines so far apart unite , but the children of
this union have in a marked degree the beauty of the Lovejoy eye, so
noticeable in the line of 8aleb Abbott.
As the Valpeys are a small line and will never be written up
save as French Hugenots, perhaps i will soon prepare my Valpey
sketch and annex it to this blank.

The Lovejoy Famlly~
0f Andover - Notes - 27-A
Jeremiah (5) Lovejoy ( wife Hannah Johnson) built a house on the
north part of the Lovejoy division, which has decayed t - a lonesome
place on a back road and not inhabited today. Mostly wood lots.
The Ballards and Johnsons who were kin to his wife left for
Danville, me ., then recently settled, and ~eremiah ~obably tried a
short residence there. Very likely more of the children will be found
recorded there.
I conclude that the young man, Josiah Johnson Lovejo~ who died
here in Andover in 1807, age 22, had returned to live here or to visit
his grandparents.He was not buried in the Wesy Yard, or at least no stone
was raised.
I find Jeremiah and wife Hannah in the South Church records, as
joining,Vec. 7, 1788,and their dismissal to Danville, me., Nov. 29, 1792.
-----------------Dorothy Lovejoy, wif~~9fAsaTo1/n8, -and (laughter of Jeremiah and Dor
othy ( Ballard) Lovejoy, was in Andover a while, and in Boxford, when Asa
ran off to War in 1812; their son/Jo~ lived in Salem and became a trader
in Boston, -groceries- and later had a clothing bazaar at uak Hall,
Another son, henry, was a sea captain of Salem; another,-Joseph, was
a trader there; daughter Sarah married Deacon Oliver ~abodw of Boxford,
where they lived until they moved to Topsfield. They had 3 daughters and
two sons.
Dorothy took a letter to Weare, N.H. from South Church in 1802.
Lieut. Asa Towne was of a family that became prominent in the Witch
trials of 1692, and on his mother's side was of an ancient Topsfield line. 9rand- Lt. Thos. CUnnnings
His latlier4'was a soldier ot ete French War; bis father was' at Bunker Hill;
Solomon, brother of Asa, was a sea captain, and was the person who intro
duced the Russian stove.
!he Lovejoy Family
of Andover- Notes-27~B
Towne Asa/and EIs brother vaniel came to Andover and were associated in
the building of the Wooden Hridge over the Merrimac River at Bodwell's
Falls , on the site of the present bridge. They also constructed the
South Church edifice' that preceded the present building. They were in
Andover between 1788- 1800.
Some failure of contract obliged Asa to leave to avoid prosecutAon
for debt or mismanagement, and he resided in Charlestown after 1804,
when he and Dolly, his Wife, toak out letters from South Church,~hich
they had joined in 1795.
Asa seems too young for an extended service:in the tievolution,
but could have entered the Army at 16. His military servive after the
war was the origin of the title.
Tradition says that Asa French, husband of Mary (5),(:reremi$.h:(4»)LoVejoy,
was of Concord. Her son,Asa ,(and probably more Children, ) b. in Weare,
N.H.,was a rover, as was John French, the next son. Mary took a letter
~rom South Church to Weare, _.H. in-1802.

Probably the f'riends hi ~;.ndover, '!:-:.e~L'c ~,-e--:' buried, thought he was
killed on some battlefield • Later he was discovered to have been kept in
prison, where he died.
Some soldier t~ought to have been Oscar, may have been sent home
for burial in 1863, as the monument erected over the grave gives the date
04 death : iuly 31, 1863.
Or it is possible that a soldier took the name of Oscar after
~ the real owner's death in 1863 (1) and died a stranger but drew the pay
of Oscar until he was taken prisoner~

James Ballard Lovejoy suffered greatly from a carbunvle on his head for
ten years, and finally lost his reason as a result •

~" Stephen Lovejoy lived ih the old James Cochrane's second place which his
widow Salome sold when she bought a third home for herself. This, in
1864,was the John Hardy property. Old William Hardy said that a
RICHFORD lived on the place before James Cochrane got it,- and, before
Hardy took it, Friend Koore,(Who sold hard liquor under the guise of FISH and
had to skip from townJwas the owner.
Jt-----------IS~~C Lovejoy fS place Was on a lane next to Amos Moorets and beyond
Capt. t. Shattuck and Fred Noyes; beyond him was" Rufus Bailey's homestead,
where Henry Lovejoy, son of Isaac, built at his marriage, and lived~up to
the time of his deabh.
Wm. Lovejoy lived in the Chandler Abbott house in 1800. He is said
to have built part of the dam, probably the one at Lawrence.
Deacon Eben Lovejoy built the Carruth place on the site of the old, IS f-father
( the year of the Great Gales) and sold to Carruth in 1837. Eben7se out
an- elm tree back of the barn,. but that is gone now.
Eben Lovejoy's home was a building put up for a store opposite the School
House near the ~ond. It stood west of W. Griffin's place, and I think that
Aaron Osgood kept store there for a long while. ~artlett lived in it
when he had a blacksmith shop there. When he gave up the business the old
shop waS moved to the John Lovejoy place for a stable, then sold again, and
it wound up on Seminary Hill somewhere.
John Lovejoy, brother of Eben, lived opposi~e • ~e Was a very
deaf man, or blind- and Josiah Edwin Griffin lived with him and helped
carryon the farm, in 18£21

of old James Ballard Lovejoy , whose husband b.ilt on the lot of the -,

Hugh Ewing, an Irishman, who lived in old house on the place. Ewing
owned the land Where her son Wm. Bailey lived, in 1863; Wm. Hardy hired
it before 1800. A Boston man named Hurd once owned the Bailey Lovejoy
home and used to come up for the summers. Francis Butler of Haverhill
was algo a tenant.
Poor called on Bailey Lovejoy, who had lived there since 1844.
Six Lombardy po~lars stood before the h&me then, when they came.
Near Goodell Gilbert's home , a few rods away, stood a white cottage

~~/ Asa Foster inherited a large farm there. At the death of his first wife
he married Lucy Rogers, and lived near the site of the Charles Shattuck
place. The Marquis de Chastellux visited during Lucy1s reign, and called
it a wretched place tt fit only to bait horses". Probably he had only poor
liquor, as times were hard.
Asa was a valiant Capt. in the French War Expedition to Canada,
From the Osgood Almanac :
Joshua Lovejoy had a mill-wheel down by the Marland Mills.
Bittle David Osgood toddling along the banks, fell into the stream
and went through the wheel, unharmed. tie later fought in the

Timothy Lovejoy is credited with 15 weeks service in 1756. Earlier

credit- and the loss of' a blanket and f'ire arms in a battle, and

the sum of 8 "bs. 13 s.4d., which sum I received of' said Lovejoy to

Ebenezer, and he could not be spared f'rom the f'arm.) ----~ .. --
The only service of' Capt. Nathtl Lovejoy I can f'ind,is at 'Dorchester
Heights at the forts there, and he had some supervision at the time of' l'
the Evacuation of' Boston.
Sam'l Osgood, appointed to the staff' of ueneral Ward had resigned be
cause he had no taste for war,-it is said,-or military work anyway. Poss
ibly the two Brande~ women who were so well acquainted with Boston officers
-held Tory sentiments,and did all they could to keep these two men at home.
Sam(l Osgood served on the Board of' War with the Provincial Congress and became the 1st P.M. general. Nathan Lovejoy was a trainer of men rather
than a leader, and Sam Phillips the same- no military genius. l':,·· ';
