Surnames: Love, Kimler, Linquist Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.love/3603/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am researching James Love who settled in McLean County Illinois in the 1830's from Ohio. He was born around 1822 in Ohio and was married to a woman named Sarah. His father was John and his son was also John, born in 1851 in Illinois. John (1851) married Elizabeth Kimler and evenutally moved out to Iowa where he died in 1924 in Cherokee County. My grandmother Gladys Love lived in Lake City, Calhoun county, Iowa and moved to Illinois with my grandfather, Marshall Linquist. I'd like to know in Ohio where they originated and if anyone else is researching that same family.
