I recently acquired names to my line of the LOVE family; however, very little else came with the information. I'm hoping that someone out there will see a name that will click with the information they have. I'm looking forward to hearing any little tidbit....thanks! Source: from the manuscript collection--Joiner History Room "My DeKalb Chronicle" by Alice Barber Whittemore The LOVE family came from Chautaugua County, New York about 1833 to Kane County in Illinois. In 1835 they moved to DeKalb County and located on section 6 (DeKalb Township). Fred Love's great grandfather, Adam, came to the New World from Ireland and settled in Rhode Island. 1. Adam Love m.
