Biography

"Lavina" is named as the daughter of Henry Dellinger in her paternal grandfather's Revolutionary War Pension file.^[1]

A Find A Grave memorial states she married first in 1831 to a Mr McCanless,^[2] but this is incorrect. Lovina, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Setzer) Dellinger, was married only once. There was a McCanless groom-Dellinger bride, but that bride was not Lovina.

Senter and Lovina married about 1839, according to the 1840 birth year of their first known child. Yancey County marriages are not extant until 1851.
