I have Love relatives who settled in Illinois from Ohio in the early 1830's. One ancestor was a James Love born ABT 1820 in Ohio. He died in McLean county, Illinois in 1896. His brother Henry B. Love settled in Illinois with him and their father was John Love. I'm not sure in Ohio where they came from. Just curious if the James you're looking for is the same James in my records.
