Lovina was the daughter of Samuel Elliott and Almira Olmstead. Some of the records say she was born in VT (possibly because they were living in Morgan, VT in 1850); others, including her death record list NY as her birth place.

On Nov 11, 1855 in Morgan, VT she married Joseph C. Knapp, son of George Knapp and Fanny Chandler.

Their children were Melissa, Fannie, Lucy, Alice, Ernest J, and Delmar Adams.

(Note: If you can't find this family in 1880 Stewartstown census it's because it was transcribed as Kristop instead of Knapp.)

After Lovina died Joseph married Esther Jane Goodwin, daughter of Reuben D. Goodwin and Susan Terrill, in 1886.

Age: 44yrs 6mos


Note:
Lovina is listed on two headstones in this cemetery. She is listed in Plot 115 on her husband Joseph's headstone, along with their son Ernest J (1867-1902). Lovina is listed incorrectly as 1840-1908. In Plot 139 there is a headstone for her which reads:
Lovina R., wife of Joseph C. Knapp, died Dec 20, 1884 ae 44yrs 6mos. This stone is beside the headstone for Perley C. Knapp.

Considering Lovina died first she is probably buried in Plot 139, but when Joseph died they put her name on his headstone.

The only child I can't find a record of beyond 1880 is Alice. There is no death record or marriage record for her so far.
