Surnames: Love, Horton, Jones Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.love/1673.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am also looking for information on Melissa LOVE who married Orrin JONES. Per the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Census, the JONES family is living in Troy Twp., Crawford Co., PA. It was difficult to find them on the census because names were misspelled or misindexed due to poor handwriting. They came to Crawford Co. in the mid-1850's from Chautauqua Co., NY. I wrote to the Crawford County Historical Society, and they found no obituary or burial for either Melissa or Orrin in Troy. Per the 1871 Directory, there is Orrin JONES, insane, Troy. Per the 1874 and 1880 Directory, there is Orrin JONES, farmer, Troy Center. In 1890, there are no JONES. The original post on this message board states Melissa and Orrin are buried in Troy Center...is there some other way to verify this if the CCHS found no obituary or burial in their indices? My true interest is in the LOVE family...particularly Melissa's younger sister Margaret LOVE. They were the children of Erastus and Katherine LOVE! . My hope is that an obituary for Melissa exists, and it might name surviving family members, including siblings.
