Evidence
William Loveless is mentioned in John Thrasher's will.

According to Jack Lovelace, who has studied this family, Thomas Loveless and Mary F. Loveless are likely to be children of William Loveless. However, there is no firm proof. They may or may not be children of Mary Thrasher Bonar born before her marriage to William Loveless.

Evidence
• Born in PA according to 1850 census of Pendleton Co, KY. I personally doubt this. Mary was born in 1768 and her father did not emigrate from Maryland to Southwest PA until after 1773. The informant for the census was probably aware that she grew up in PA and did not know that she was not born there.
•There are two females under 10 in the household of Mary Bonar in the 1810 census who I can not identify as her children. One is probably Margaret Boner, the illegitimate daughter of Mary's daughter, Elizabeth.
