	Oliver Loving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oliver Loving (December 4, 1812-September 25, 1867) was a cattle rancher and pioneer of the cattle drive who with Charles Goodnight developed the Goodnight-Loving Trail.
		From 1833 to a decade later, Loving was a farmer in Muhlenburg County until he, his brother, and his brother-in-law moved their families to the Republic of Texas, where Loving received 639.3 acres (2.6 km²) of land in three patents spread through three counties Collin, Dallas, and Parker.
		In the spring Loving sold his cattle for gold and tried to leave for Texas; however the American Civil War had broken out and the Union authorities prevented him from returning to the South until Kit Carson and others interceded for him.
