I, too, have family that has eluded me for a long time. I have traced our family from Rhode Island to Michigan and then have lost them. Austin Love was the son of Robert & Susannah Love. He was born in Bridgewater, New York and moved to Michigan in 1834. He married Clara Bradley in New York and moved with her and their two children to Michigan. They had 8 children. One of those childred was Daniel Webster Love born in 1836. He married and had 3 daughters and a son. The daughters names were Flora, Born 1871, Leon, Born 1873, Lulu, Born 1877 and Norah, born 1879. Their married names were, Shuck, Townsend & German. Leon married and had a daughter Mildred. Mildred's last name was Rhoades. I assume that is a married name, but could also be the name she grew up with. Leon had divorced her mother when she was very young. Her mother, Bessie Bryant Love, could have remarried and Mildred could have taken his name. I have been searching for any information on any of the childred of Daniel Webster & Leon's daughter, Mildred. Leon later moved to St. Louis, MO and married and had 10 childred. One of those children was my father-in-law. I believe that two of Daniel Webster's daughters moved to Ohio after they married. Any info that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Judy L.
