Couple of thoughts. First, I don't believe James Love who married Mary Elizabeth Ingram had middle name Allison. The Allison family did not live in Brunswick County VA. They were, however, thick in Cabarrus, the place James Love ended up. The Allison naming came from a daughter of Darling Love who moved to AR. She wrote that her 'grandfather' was James Allison Love. We early believed that Darling's father was old James. His father was actually a younger James Love who married Mary Brooks. This younger James Love died about the same time as old James. He could have been the son of James who moved to Campbell County GA. He could be the son of Thomas who lived in Union County NC. He could have been the son of a son of old JAmes Love who died young and without record. But about the time this younger James Love was born, there were plenty of Allison in Mecklenburg/Cabarrus County NC. Polly Love who married the Honneycutt may very well fall into the same type of situation as Darling Love. Polly could be the daughter of James Love who moved to GA. In his will, this James mentioned unnamed children of his first wife. And there is always the possibility that that there was a Love, son of old James who died young and with children. One other possibility. We know nothing of James Love's son John in context of how he viewed things after his father became involved int the gold business. When old James died, did he leave anything to son John? Or to his grandchildren? Did they visit and stay in touch? Note that in 1850 or 1860, there is a (I think ) Thomas Love living in Union County who lists his place of birth as Wilkes County. Why is he there in Union County? During that time period, only our John Love's(son of old James) family were the only Love family living in Wilkes. So that leaves open a possibility. There are other LOVE who we cannot tie back to the tree. One is Martha, whose children died in the civil war. Charles Love of Union County NC helped her get back their belongings. There is John J. Love who lived in NC, SC and back in NC where he died in Mecklenburg. His son John C. Love served with him and Jonah Love in the civil war and went to the enemy at Bermuda 100. His last record was he being sent to Philly by orders of Major General U. S. Grant. Why would they send a private to Philly? ...no prisons there. A John C. Love appears in Philly about the same time. He is a land conveyancesor. In 1872, this same John C. Love (Of Philly!!!) turned around and purchased land surrounding Reed Gold mine in Cabarrus. Of this land was that adjoining the family cemetery near the river. He died, but deeded his land to daughter Elizabeth. She married the secretary of the Philadelphia Yacht Club. She too died, and her husband ended up selling the land back to folks in C! abarrus. So here to is a loose end that is clearly related. Sorry for the rambling, but there is so much that we almost can prove. > > From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> > Date: 2007/05/27 Sun PM 08:28:41 EDT > To: <LOVE-L@rootsweb.com> > Subject: Re: [LOVE] Jno LOVE m. ?
