Notes for Moses T. Love

Little information exists regarding Moses T. Love, but he may have left an important record of the names of his siblings. He did not appear as head of household in a census, because he was married after 1840, and died before 1850. His wife was Mary Hoover, sister of the wife of John Scott Love, his brother. Mary and Jane both died in an influenza epidemic in 1846. Moses and Mary appear to have had no living issue. When Moses died intestate and in debt between 1846 and 1847, his heirs were held liable for his debt. The heirs named in the estate proceedings were John S. Love, Polly Todd, Joseph T. Love, Sarah D. Love & Thomas Love. Land belonging to Moses T. Love was sold to pay his debts, and it was purchased by his brother, John Scott Love. It appears that Moses Love was employed as a carriage or wagon maker, as the materials and tools of the trade were listed in his estate.
