There is a listing in the 1880 US Census for Harvard, Worcester, Massachusetts, that shows a Jonas and Rebecca H. Lovering living with a William A. Farnsworth. Jonas was listed as a farmer, 72 years old, and Rebecca keeping house, age 65. If this the same Jonas and Rebecca, then Jonas' death date of 11/15/1854 is incorrect.

Jonas married LOVEJOY, Rebecca Hildreth 1 Oct 1835, Andover, Massachusetts. Rebecca was born Abt 1815, Massachusetts Or Milford, New Hampshire; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

Joseph A. Lovering and Keziah Carr's marriage record in Sudbury indicates that Joseph was "of Westminster".

Joseph married CARR, Kezia 24 Nov 1773, Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts. Kezia (daughter of CARR, Thomas and SHERMAN, Grace) was born 3 Aug 1745, Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts; died 12 Feb 1825. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Kezia appears to be mentioned in a voting list for 1795 and 1797 as well as some tax listings in the Sudbury Town archives, with no mention of Joseph. She appears to have been widowed for some time, although I cannot truly determine whether her husband Joseph actually died in the Battle for Long Island. Some databases contain a number of children for this couple, and given the short period of time in which they were supposedly married, it does not seem probably that they had any other children save Jonas. Sudbury records do not mention any.
