I am digging through stuff trying to make sense out of the masses of papers and books I have. In a letter by Franklin Dederick Love in Vol 1 page 87 of Love Letters by Jolee Love he says. ( in 1929) There were 4 brothers named Love who settled Augusta Co. VA. Their families emigrated westward and southward. SAMUEL Love was my great-great-grandfahter: JOSEPH Loves descendants went south and one of them married Joe Brown, War Governor of Georgia: WILLIAM Love went into east Tennessee and was the father of Joseph, probably the first sheriff of Knox County TN. Samuel and Isaac (who were ) ROBERT'S descendants , I have not been able to trace......................... ---------------- Here is a family history stating that SAMUEL, JOSEPH, WILLIAM AND ROBERT were brothers. Why didn't he name their father??????? The Joseph Love who's descendant married the Brown was Joseph/Mary Teas. line would go from their daughter Esther /William Steele... their daughter Mary Love Steele/Joseph Gresham>>> their daughter Elizabeth Gresham who married Joseph Brown. We have thought all along that Samuel.Dorcas Bell , and Joseph / Mary Teas were brothers. Who can tell us more about William Love and Robert? or Robert's descendants Samuel and Isaac? This , like other early works may have been disproved is so tell us about it. Mary Harkey Russell [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird
