Notes for David Love

David Love may be the son of John Love and Sarah Sharp, who removed
to western Mecklenburg County from the Muddy Creek area of what is now
northern Randolph County, North Carolina.

David Love and Jean Thompson are the probable parents of John Scott
Love, Mary "Polly" Love, James M. Love, Thomas T. Love, Sarah D. Love,
Joseph T. Love, and Moses T. Love.
Tying the names of the children together is the estate of Moses T.
Love. Moses died between 1846 and 1847. His wife died in 1846, during a
flu epidemic that also took the life of her sister, Jane Love nee
Hoover. Moses and Mary had no children and died intestate and in debt.
The heirs named in the estate papers -- John S. Love, Polly Todd, Joseph
T. Love, Sarah D. Love & Thomas Love -- were held liable for his debt. I
believe that these were the brothers and sisters of Moses T. Love.
Further evidence is provided by the family Bible records of Moses
Kistler and his wife Jane Love. Included in the listing of deaths in the
family in order of their entry are David Love, Jane Love, Abigail
Thompson, James M. Love, Mary L. Love, Jane Love, Henry A. Love, Moses T.
Love, Joseph T. Love, John S. Love, Sarah D. Love, Thomas T. Love,
Adeline Love, Robert A. Todd, and Mary S. Todd.

Common Pleas and Quarter Sessions Volume II: 1801-1820, (Rocky Mount,

The land transactions may involve the property of John Love, inherited by
his sons David and Christopher Love. It is possible that David and
Christopher sold the land to Michael McLeary in 1800, and that David
remained on the land as a tenant. This may explain why the deed was not
recorded until 1818. Michael McLeary owned several parcels of land in
Paw Creek.
