Cites "information found in the Nevada State Journal 1870-1900 (database online), Barghouti, Kim, comp. Compiled from Washoe Co Nevada microfilm at the Washoe County Library, Reno, NV." !SOURCE: Email from Dr. David Lovett Jordan (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 18 Apr 2004. He writes: Additional research and documentation confirms that "Smokey" came from Schenectady Co, NY. He arrived in san Francisco, CA on the ship "Chelsea" inaug 1850 and was a stage coach driver for many years between San Francisco and Carson City, NV. He was born about 1825 to Jotham and Ruth Cornell Lovett of West Glenville, NY. He was married to Emma Lovett, born in France, age 24 in the 1870 census of Washoe Co, NV. In 1880 both Smokey and Emma appear in the Washoe Co NV census but no longer together. Smokey was apparently a bartender and stage coach driver for CC Chase and is buried in the old cemetery on the campus of the U of Nevada, Reno, in the Chase plot. No children are known. He is mistakenly shown in some records as OC Loratt and as Oscar Lovett. !CENSUS: An Olney Lovett is listed in Nevada in the 1860 census. --D.L. Jordan, 2 Jul 2002 !RESIDENCES: "Long time resident of California and Nevada." --D.L. Jordan, 4 Mar 2003
