Linda Dudley has the following notes in her genealogy of the Lovins:

ID: I24115
Name: Lucinda "Pink" BREWER
Sex: F
Birth: 26 JAN 1852 in Pike County, Arkansas to Texas
Death: 10 AUG 1932 in Age: 80 - Weleetka, Okfuskee Co., Oklahoma
[It appears Weleetka is the place of burial, but death actuallyoccurred in Pharaoh. -- OBJ]

As for the Native American aspect of the Lovin family, we have noevidence that Benjamin Franklin Lovin B. F. or his family were NativeAmerican. It is possible that Isabella Wigley was but we have foundno evidence in Mississippi records. Our research has been on LucindaPink Brewer, B. F.'s 2nd wife, who we are 99% certain was Indian. Wehave no actual evidence, only circumstantial evidence (her facialfeatures, the fact that her father migrated to Pike County, Arkansasfrom Tennessee at the same time many Cherokee Indians were doing so,and the fact that her children referred to the family as 'Black Dutch'which is a 19th century euphemism for Native Americans and persons ofblack ancestry). Other than these circumstantial clues, we have notyet found hard evidence.

Jerry Cherry comments in a discussion list on the Brewer family:
We have reason to believe that she is either full or part NativeAmerican. She had a sister named Lieu (or Lou) and possibly a brothernamed Oscar.

"Pink" Brewer married Benjamin Franklin Lovin and had children named:Allie, Mattie, Anna, Minnie, Ida, Ben Lovin Jr.

B. F. Lovin was a minister and they lived at different times inArkansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

Lucinda's gravestone (footstone) has her name as Lucindia. No familiymember has seen any instance of the name spelled that way elsewhere.
