It has been suggested that James' name was originally LOWE with the O an umlaut. Meaning lion in German. Has anyone run into this crossover. I personally doubt it since most of my ancestors were Scots-Irish. Any ideas? LOVE, James b. ca 1780 ch. Ingraham, John (md. Mary Love 1808 Jasper Co. GA), James, Mary, Elizabeth Happy hunting, Gil

We are expecting about 15 researchers at the meeting. The ones from around Birmingham are inviting other family members so there could be more.

Thank you!!!! Any help you can give us would be most welcome. How big is the group that is for this meeting.

Is anyone else researching the Delaware County, NY LOVEs which started with Samuel and Sarah and children immigrating from Ireland in 1817? I have several generations starting in Delhi, NY and then Tompkins and Walton. But I don't know from where in Ireland they immigrated. Does anyone know where other LOVE families that came to the US about that time, came from in Ireland or what ports they might have shipped out of? Pam

Here is my Love ancestor whose parents names I would LOVE to have: COL. DAVID LOVE (AM REV)1740-1798 born in Anson Co., NC.; died in Greensboro , Georgia. His wife was JEAN BLEWITT. She was a strict Presbyterian and they named all their children Biblical or Biblical sounding names. My great grandmother was ALLELUIAH LOVE who m. HENRY ROGERS of Greensboro, Columbus and LaGrange Ga. Any possible connection? Caroline Burnett Cook

I am looking for anyone that might have more information on a LOVE family that settled in this part of Georgia. The data I have on this family is that Dedimyra (or Dedemiah) LOVE (surname could be NETTLES too, we obviously aren't _real_ clear on who this lady was! <G>) md. Enoch SHIVER in the mid-1820's. Dedimyra is a widow living with her children, (including my ancestor, her oldest son, John W. SHIVER) in the 1850 Baker Co., GA Census, though the ages are all messed up and it looks like they are husband and wife. By 1860 in Mitchell Co., GA she is living next door to John W. and his wife and children and the ages appear to be correct (she is 56). She and Enoch had the following children: John W., Rebecca, Marion Harmon, Ransom, Martha Ann, Polly, James and Eliza. Can anyone tell me about her family or where to find more information on this line? I'd be happy to share what I know about this family with anyone who is interested! Thanks!

The current address of LOVE LETTERS is: LOVE LETTERS Pat Love Stubblefield, Editor 1300 Arbolita Drive La Habra, CA 90631-3206 It has been in existence about 10 years, I believe, and back issues are available. I believe it is $12.00 per year for a subscription and it is well worth it to LOVE researchers. Hope this helps. Alice in Houston

Hi Mickey, Got your post this morning. I am curious about this. Is it an off-spring of the one Albert Love did years ago? He knew everything there was to know about Loves. How much is the newsletter and what does it include? How many issues? Off to Norfolk on Sat for convention. Absolutely have to get my things ready today! Gale

Recently I was given an address in Colorado Springs, CO. for the above Love surname newsletter. I wrote to get information about subscribing. Today that letter was returned with "Forwarding Order Expired" stamped on it. Does anyone know if this newsletter is still being published. If so, would you please email me with the new address and subscription information if you have it.

OOPs, I seem to have answered you twice. Sorry. Caroline

I think this must be the David Love who was my David's young cousin who left NC and came to live with him and his wife. Did you see my other posts? Anything you have on this family is appreciated. My postings were in Deep-South-Roots I believe. If you think there is a difininte connection, I would like to know about it. Thanks, Caroline Burnett Cook ggggranddaughter of ALLELUIAH LOVE dau of COL. DAVID LOVE (Rev. War) and Jane/Jean Blewitt/Blount.

Caroline, We know of a David Love, listed in the will of John Love, of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina as follows: "And I do give & bequeath to my well beloved son David & Christopher Love the plantation whereon I now live to be enjoyed by them in full possession at the death of my wife..." It is known that David Love went down to Green County Georgia (he did not stay on the plantation). He was considered eccentric (an important addition to any Southern Family) and has children with unusual names such as "Robertus". I, and other researchers, are looking at these Meckenburg County Loves, to see if they are ours. I am not sure this David is yours, but this David did go to Georgia....
