She was probably employed in the cook car.

I have found the following organizations very helpful in my research of the Love family line: Love Letters Pat Love Stubblefield, Editor 1300 Arbolita Drive La Habra, CA 90631-3206 (562) 697-9902 The Clan MacKinnon Society of North America, Inc. 4012 Tyndale Drive Jacksonville, FL 32210 (This is an organization that has a lot of Love researchers because many Loves from Scotland were members of this clan.) Also, I found the book, The Genealogist's Adress Book, 3rd Edition to be very helpful in finding addresses of state, county, and local archives as well as various genealogical and historical associations.

For you fellow "Love" searchers perhaps this bit of information may help some of you. Just today I discovered a bit of information about the beginnings of my branch of the Love family. I found that my "Love" beginnings were from Scotland, however in Scotland they spelled it "Luif". Evidently this was a common change to the name. You might trylooking under that spelling. Every little bit helps, perhaps you will find this helpful to you. D. Reece Gotaheart@adweb.net

On that note, a lot of Loves came from the Clan MacKinnon from Scotland. Anyone interested can write the Clan MacKinnon Society of North America, Inc. at 4012 Tyndale Drive, Jacksonville FL 32210. (904) 771-2864.

I believe that I am a descendant of William Love who was born ca 1746. I will send you my information and will forward your message to other descendants that I know. I would love to exchange information with you. My name and address are: Cathy Love Driscoll 1329 Alpine Court New Albany, IN 47150-1848

I am searching for descendants of William Love who was born around 1700 in County Antrim, Ireland and is thought to have been married three times - the first to Louisa Turnbloom on March 6, 1723. Following are the children (? on some) of William Love Mary m William Bell Flora m William Steambridge Hanna m William Stone Elizabeth m Robert Jones Sarah m William Niblett Bemjamin b Dec 6, 1723 d July 2, 1795 in Pendleton Dist. , SC m Jean Gaston Robert "Planter" b ca 1725 d 1779 m Mary Davidson Isaac (MD( m Sarah Evans (Twin) Jacob m Rebecca John b ca 1732 d after 1797 William b ca 1746 Samuel b ca 1752 Alse Ammon b ca 160 m Nicholas Williams I will be glad to exchange information Dr. B.G.

In a message dated 97-08-04 07:00:11 EDT, you write: << I'm not sure I can of help on this line, but my gg grandparents, DELILAH LOVE, b. ca 1816 m. Ransom MOSS in 1831 in Putnam Co IN.... Could your LOVE/MOSS connection be a coincidence or not? Can you give me more info on your JOHN LOVE, as to bpl, parents, and where he lived? >> Ellie, know very little except what Mrs. Marvin Scott wrote in her book, 'History of Henry Co AL'. The parents of John were Thomas Love, b. 1794 in NC and Mary M., b. 1803 NC, and they were married in GA. John is buried in Shorterville, Henry Co AL. I have seen nothing to hint of an Indiana connection. Mrs. Scott writes of Rosella Moss: "John Love m. third, Nov. 11, 1895, Rosella Moss. One child, Anna Love. She married Chester Ira Strickland, Sr. of Headland (AL). Their children: Chester I. Strickland, Jr.; Elizabeth Strickland m Emory Cunningham. They have one child, Chester Cunningham." Henry Co AL Cemetery Records, by Mrs. Scott mentions Rosella, wife of John Love, d. June 20, 1897, age 24 yrs. Made a quick search of the two mentioned books for any reference to the Moss family and found nothing that would be helpful. Thank you for your message and sorry I could not be of help. Joan

Often I think we post the earliest ancestor we know of and sometimes we get more information on our 4th great grandpa than we have on our 2nd great grandpa. Byler Love was my 2nd great grandpa. BYLER LOVE son of JOHN of Carter/Monroe/Knox counties in Tn. Byler married MARTHA JANE McCALMAN After they married they lived in Gaylesville, Cherokee Co. Alabama. Byler had a twin brother DAVID LOVE who was married to a Harriett___? Byler and Martha Love had the following children and I need info on most of them--------- John D. Love b 1832 married Sarah Jane Wilcox-----my GGrandparents William Duncan Love b. 1840 married Emily S. McKinney Robartus Love b. 1835 married Clary Jane ___? James Franklin Love b 1843 married Mary E. Cooper Thomas J. Love b 1835 Martha A. Love 1849 Sarah C. M. Love 1851 Do any of these Loves Look familiar to anyone. I'd be happy to share all my Love information.Mary Russell bird@scrtc.blue.net

The meeting in Birmingham came about almost spontaneously. There were about six of us who communicate regularly via the Internet who are descendents of one Tyra LOVE who (with his parents) arrived in St.Clair Co. AL about 1818. We had met on the Internet and had talked about a mini-reunion. When a researcher from St. Louis announced that she was going to AL for a weeks research, it seemed like a good time and place for the reunion. We had less than 10 days to organize it. We contacted the researchers whom we personally knew and I am ashamed to say that things were so hectic that I did not even think of announcing it on the ROOTS mailing list. Again I am sorry. We had 29 people in attendance from IL, TX, TN, MS, AR and AL. All adults, all interested in genealogy, most were researchers. Most of the research and work at the meeting centered around the parentage of Tyra LOVE. Records obtained from the St.Clair and Blount county court houses pretty well confirmed our suspicion that Tyra's parents were Samuel Love who married Elizabeth Nation in 1789 Mecklenburg Co. NC. We suspect that this is the Samuel of the 1791 will of John and Sarah Love of Mecklenburg. Aside from the Tyra lineage we had a fascinating presentation by our two eminent researchers, Gerald and Sep Love of the various LOVE families in VA, NC and SC during the Rev. War period. A lot of incorrect linkages were brought to light. One of particular significance was the error in some books of confusing Col. David with the David in the 1791 Will of John and Sarah.

Here is what I received on my Love's? If I am related to anyone out there please email me I can not seem to make a connection to the rest of the Love's from that area and I am sure we are related. This is probably too much information but I hope someone can connect. Descendants of James Love 1 James Love ........ 2 Ingram Love ............ +Nancy Sentell ................... 3 Jackson I.

Maybe I missed the information, but was there no report to this list on the meeting in Birmingham earlier in the summer? I can't believe we already know all there is to know about the Loves of NC, Ga and Al. PLEASE y'all. Not all of us could go to the meeting.

Hello Love Researchers, While attending a Semi-annual "Foster" Family Reunion, in Indiana, I was introduced to a Love, related to my great grandmother, Sarah Love. Sarah was married to Leonidas Foster, my great grandfather. I had no information about Sarah's ancestors until this time. Listed below is the info passed on by the Love descendent I meet.
