The children of Oliver Loving and Susan Doggett Loving:

Sarah Irvin Loving (1831 – 1915) married John F. “Jack” Flint (1827 – 1886) in 1853. Jack Flint was about five years older than she was and had come to Texas from Kentucky, as had the Oliver Loving family. The Flints were a farming (and most likely ranching) family, according to the 1870 federal census and had three daughters and two sons born from 1857 to 1867. All the children lived to be adults, except for their first born daughter. The family lived first in Palo Pinto County and later moved to Young County.

Both Sarah and Jack are buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Graham.
