Following is a quote from a book, printed in 1996, by a local author from a southcentral Arkansas town of her parents' lives and history of the town. She recorded stories her father (b.1894; d. 1991) related during his last years. The following is one of them for which she has no other information: "There was a Mr.Love who came down from up north and married Mrs.Love, who was a schoolteacher. Everybody liked Mrs. Love. They had a boy named Homer Love. Mrs. Love died and later Mr. Love died, and Home, the son, went up north to see his father's relatives and he found that his father's name wasn't Love. It was Ennis. Mr. Love had changed his name when he came down south. Mrs.Love died without knowing any of this." I hope some of Homer's descendants will contact me. Norma Ennis Wilkinson

I am so sorry. I have no clue as to our James' middle name, but his parents were Thomas Love/Lauve (depending on the decade) and wife Maragret. Thomas is b abt 1793, Margaret about a decade later. Census in 1850 showed Thomas b in MD but not a shred of proof so far (and some of his children showed his birth place as Maine in the 1880 census), Margaret as b. TN. They were in Clark Co., AR by about 1825-27 and all of their known and suspected children were born in that state.

Greetings, I have a question regarding this custom of determining the line of descendcy from the mother regarding "native american" culture. In strict genealogical terms, at what point is the reference valid? If we assume the initial marriage and descendant's (any and all) from that union are genealogical descendants from that union, how do later generations support their lineage from that union? When I see references like this, I wonder about those who may not have a "maternal" link to that union but a paternal link. Yet they may clearly show how their lineage is connected to the original female member of the tribe. Would they not still be considered to possess the "same" bloodlines, though "technically" not having an immediate mother who would be considered of "native american" blood? Another question would be is this not an example that is somewhat contradictory and duplicitous when it comes to the children of the male in particular the "native american" culture in particular but the dominant culture in general? Also with the advances in DNA research would this also call into question the whole concept of determining ones "race" by that of the mother? We have so many contradictory examples of this in present day (for lack of a better phrase) "racial politics" that it seems to invalidate many people who could/would claim "native american" ancestry. Just a thought Terry
