Per the "History of Erie County" (Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1909), P. 332: "...Erastus Love, was born near Attica, New York, a son of Richard Love, a farmer, who moved from Wyoming county, New York to Chautauqua county in pioneer days, and there, living with his children, spent his last days, dying at the remarkable age of one hundred and four years." More from the "History of Erie County": "...[Erastus] then came to Corry, Pennsylvania, where he resided during the remainder of his life, passing away at the age of seventy-five years." Per the 1850 Census, Erastus was born abt. 1811 so according to this excerpt, he died abt. 1886 in Corry. Yet, I've seen several family trees posted with different death dates and the location listed as Chautauqua Co. Anyone have more facts to support the "History of Erie County"? Also, I've seen several family trees post father Richard's death as 9 March 1847 in Sinclairville, Chautauqua Co., NY. Yet the "History of Erie County" leads me to believe that he lived well beyond 1847. Anyone have more information about Richard's death? Thanks!
