Surnames: Horton, Love Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SRB.2ACE/1571.1577.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I am still looking for someone researching the Love family which includes parents Erastus and Katherine Love and children Melissa, Margaret, Milton, Merritt, and Martin. The family members are listed on the Chautauqua Co. web site in the Red Bird Cemetery, town of Ellery. As of the 1880 Census, Erastus age 68, was living with daughter Margaret age 46 (listed with surname Love rather than Horton). Margaret Love and Charles Horton had one son, Emery, who is my husband's gr-gr grandfather. I cannot say whether or not the couple actually married as Charles had children with his wife Philetta both before and after Emery's birth in 1853. Margaret must have died after 1880, but probably before 1900 as I cannot locate her on the census. Can anyone assist me with a date of death for her? I'd like to order a copy of her death certificate and/or a copy of her obituary. I've found Philetta and children as of the 1860 Census living in Waseca Co., MN *without* husband Charles. I ! believe Charles Horton died in Olmsted Co., MN, and I am awaiting a copy of a probate to prove or disprove that the deceased Charles Horton is "mine".
