Fred, I honestly believe that your James Love was in Cabarrus / Montgomery County NC ca. 1794. That he was the same person that signed the undated petition for new public buidings for the county of Cabarrus. He would be the 'James Love Junior' son of James Love Senior listed by his side in the petition. The age of your James would fit nicely within the age range of other children of James and Mary Ingram Love. Your James had a son named for his mother's family. Your James must have left out from Cabarrus after 1794 and prior to 1800. If he is the son of James and Mary Ingram Love, then his brother Charles also left at the same time to Rutherford County NC. After his death, Charles's wife and some of his children moved to Gordon County GA ca. 1840. There are numerous deeds and Grants in the name of James Love in Cabarrus and Montgomery Counties. Are they all for Senior? ... or could there be one or two that were actually made by your James? Gold was found in Cabarrus in 1798 and kept quiet until 1803. Old James was next door neighbor to John Reed, the father of Conrad who discovered the gold. Conrad married a Love girl. We in NC are so wrapped up with the record of old James Love, that we have very likely over looked records that should be attributed to your James Love. Many Many of the neighborhood ended up in Campbell and surrrounding aras of GA. Michael Austin moved to Lincoln County TN then down to Cambell. The Howell Family (heavily intermarried and involved with the Love family) also moved to Campbell. The Children of Archibald McLarty (his land adjoined that of old James Love) moved to Campbell. John Kiser, Green, Bond, and I'm sure many others made the move too. I wonder about the route of your James Love. Did he live in SC and for how long? Many of the others came straight to GA. Some through TN. Many from Campbell County GA went to Cherokee AL. Part of my family moved from Anson NC to Cherokee AL. Always wondered what route they took. Went to Cherokee AL and there met an old lady who knew the answer. She giggled with memory of sitting on her greandfahter's lap and him telling her of traveling through Rutherford County NC and lossing their way, a local gave them directions for the cost of a chew of tobacco! So from this, I learned that my people went to AL by way of the mountains and not I-85. Anyhow, my concern is with SC and exactly what happened there and when. Are you dead certain that James Love lived in Edgefield SC? If so, what records prove that he did? I don't know of any others from Cabarrus that stopped over in Edgefield. Birds of a feather flock together. I wonder what other birds flew along with and in the same route as your James Love. By the way, knowing your DNA matches descendants of old James Love of NC, we know you are couisn! I sure wish the Familytreedna site better identified the seperate lines and also better identified the lines that are known to be kin! You know, it really is time that we get started a LOVE family reunion in honor of James and Elizabeth of Brunswick County VA. > > From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> > Date: 2007/05/28 Mon PM 07:41:28 EDT > To: <LOVE-L@rootsweb.com> > Subject: [LOVE] James Love GA 1820 and 1830 > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: OliverLove56 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.love/3641/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > George and those of you that have an interest in James Love of GA. > > I went back thru my notes and the US Fed Census and would like your > consideration and or comments on the following: > > I have long believed that James first lived in Walton Co., GA when he came > from SC. > The 1820 census for Walton Co, GA lists > > 2 males age 16-20; this would be John and James. > 1 male over 45 would be James. > 1 female 26-45; would be 2nd wife Elizabeth. > > >From this I would say that sons John and James were born in SC and went to > GA with their father. > > Ingram would not be in the household as he is age 31 and married to Nancy > Sentell. > > Elizabeth is not in the household as she is married to a McCune and may > still be in SC or as the will seems to indicate she had died before then. > > Mary is not in the household as she is married to John Brooks in 1808. > > The 1830 census for Campbell Co., GA shows; > > 1 Male 60-70; would be James the head of household. > 1 Female 40-50; would be 2nd wife Elizabeth. > 1 Male under 5 and 1 male under 10 would be Josiah and Joseph. > > This may be why James named Stephen James executor of his will.
