Notes for Lovedy Campbell McNeil:
[From story told by Herbert D. Sims, a descendant of Elizabeth George Cruickshank]
George Patterson Cruickshank, a native of Scotland, settled in Autauga Coutny, Alabama, in 1822, near where the present town of Prattville is located. in the year 1823 he was married to Lovedy Campbell McNeil, daughter of Lachlan McNeil, an early settler of Autauga County, Alabama.
George Patterson Cruickshank was a tailor by trade. He was killed by one of his patrons in 1830. This patron disliked having bills presented to him and made the remark that he would kill anyone who would do this. George Cruikshank, not aware of this feeling, one day when at the courthouse, handed him a bill for tailoring. This customer pulled his pistol and killed George Cruickshank. Lovedy Cruikshank, his wife, had a large house and five slaves, which were given to her by her father. At George's death she was left a widow with four small children to raise. The patron, regretting his act, wished to help with the children's support, but Lovedy would not accept his help.
In 1832 she removed to Lowndesboro in Lowndes County where she remained until the spring of 1834, when she returned to Autauga County. She visited the Creek nation, soon after the land sales in 1834, and purchased a home in Mardisville in Talladega County, to which she removed her family in October of that year. This home was turned into a boarding house to support herself and the four children. Lovedy married Isaac Estill, Esq. in 1838.
During these times the boarding house was a central meeting spot for people coming into the county. Upon Henry Sim's arrival in Talladega County, he frequently took meals, etc. at the boarding house. It was here that he met his future bride (second wife) Elizabeth (Lizzie) George Cruikshank, daughter of Lovedy Cruikshank and George Cruikshank.
