This gentleman saw me mention the Love list on the Listowners list and kindly sent me this message: Are you interested in information on Thomas Love. He was a refugee Tory from VA who settled among the Chickasaw Indians in 1782. His father was William Love. He married 1st Sally Colbert 1/2 Chickasaw, then full blood Chickasaw, Emahota. Between the 2 wives he fathered 8 sons and 5 daughters. > His family became one of the most prominent families in OK Indian Territory after the removal from MS. The Love country stores you see throughout OK and TX are owned by descendants of this family. Love county OK was named for this family also. > > I'm not related, but have this information on my Bryan County OK archives website. > > You can post this to your Love list if you wish and anyone can contact me for exact locations of the files. > Gene Phillips [email protected] > >
