Note* From Walker Pierce, Austin, TX, 22 May 2003:
Reddick and Lovick II were born in the Halifax District of Martin County, North Carolina on 9-26-1782 and 3-24-1785, respectively.

Their parents Lovick (b. 1760-1) and Lydia Culpepper Pierce evidently moved the family in 1790 to the Barnwell District of South Carolina, as the family was enumerated twice in the first Census of the United States, once in each of the Carolinas. (South Carolina was the last colony to complete its census, and had been granted a 9 month extension, during which time the family had relocated.)

Lovick, Sr claimed and surveyed 657 acres on Tinker's Creek in the Barnwell District of South Carolina, and by September 3, 1793 had cleared and cultivated enough of this land to record and file the deed. This is approximately 25 miles east of present-day Augusta, Georgia. While they lived on Tinker's Creek, four daughters were born.

He sold 150 acres of the land in 1801 and the rest in 1804, moving to Baldwin County, Georgia with Lydia and their youngest children, Sarah, Polly, Martha, Mary and Susan. A third son, Everette Hamilton Pierce, was born in 1809 in Milledgeville, Baldwin Co., Georgia. Later two more daughters were born, Ann and Lydia.

(Reddick and Lovick II did not remove to Georgia in 1804 with the rest of the family, instead remaining in South Carolina with their mother's sister. That same year they joined the Methodist Church and both became itinerant ministers on January 1, 1805 at the Methodist conference at Charleston.)
