Hi.  Me too (with the revisiting).   I hadn't worried about the girls as they weren't part of the Lovatt line but its a good point. I too have a copy of the Draper will.  I'll have another look (when I get a chance)

Hi, Great to hear from you.

Yes  this is the same Jeremiah. We have found his will is brilliant for the family tree as it helpfully mentions his siblings names and nieces and nephews. Yes his sister Elizabeth was born in 1683 and married Richard Masefield. Jeremiah clearly had no living children (that he was happy to leave property / wealth to) but had siblings / nephews and nieces.

My interest comes from falling over a Lapley parish magazine article in 1980's about the Jeremiah Lovatt charity and knowing that my great great grandfather was also Jeremiah Lovatt from Lapley / Wheaton Aston (we have his scholar certificate 1856).

Working upwards believe that we have determined that this 1856 Jeremiah (b1842) was descendant of Jeremiah (b1786) son of Drapier  Lovatt.

So the search was always to determine how the two linked.  So close in years and so missing in information.

I hadn’t given any consideration at all to the Civil War although it would be rather fun to know which side we were on.   I will look back at my information to see if I have anything interesting but it won't be for a couple of weeks now

Thanks for coming back

Hi there,
I've just found this chat and posts.  I believe that I am related to Draper Lovatt (Lapley area). We have worked a family tree upwards.
Also there was a Jeremiah Lovatt who founded a charity in Wheaton Aston / Lapley in the 1750's. We have a copy of his will so I know who his living relatives were.
The missing piece of the jigsaw for me is who Draper's parents were and which bit of the Jeremiah tree they come from. 
I must admit to being confused by your potential London connections given the number of Lovatts in the Lapley area. 
Are you guys (M and Izzy) still on this chat ?
