in trying to follow the Males of a family of Loves I find that I have too many men without heirs in my genealogy. With us doing a DNA study it seems that we may be missing too many men to provide good paper documentation for some of the lines. I was trying to trace descendants of Joseph Love /Mary Teas by looking at my data. Going from Joseph Love to his son Samuel who married Mary Lane and Mary Polly Smith. I have no children with Mary Smith and Samuel was 67 so maybe there wasn't any with her, but With Mary Lane he had a fairly large family. his son Robert Love born 1774--- I have no heirs. His son William born 1775 ---- I have no heirs. His son John is the one married Nancy "Milly" McSpaddin and they had sons. I will follow that line-- they had Pleasant McSpadden Love and he had sons among them James Newton Armstrong Love born 1838 and I have that they had 8 children. Were any of them sons ? Hannibal Jasper Love born 1843 had two sons Henry Elijah Love- and Thomas Love . I have nothing on Thomas but Henry Elijah had sons---Some I have wives for but only Clarence Kenneth Love , do I have a note saying-- Info database of LoveBobLouis.FTW So which one of you did I get that GED file from that I named Love Bob Louis. ? And have any Males from this line done the DNA test? Mary Harkey Russell [email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bird
