5-11mo-1792 - Ann Love (formerly Harrold). condemned her marriage out of unity.
7-4mo-1794 - Ann Love granted a certificate to Westfield Mo. Mtg., (R45).
My quest will begin in Guiliford Co., N.C. where Hannah Harold Love was dismembered for her marriage out of unity in 1785. Hannah is the daughter of Jonathan and Catherine (Hiatt) Harold. She then is granted her request for
membership removal to Westfield MM, Surry Co., N.C. in 1791. This all stems from research in Hinshaw Quaker Book, Vol. I. Now in this record it records Ann Harold Love, also being dismembered for her marriage our of unity in 1791.Ann was also a dau. of Jonathan and Catherine (Hiatt) Harold. She, too, asked and was granted to have her membership moved to Westfield MM, Surry Co., N.C. in 1794. It is very possible that these two sisters married Love brothers, Jonathan to Ann and Thomas to Hannah.
These two Loves, Jonathan and Thomas, took an improbable turn of events during this particuliar time in our nations history. Love's were well established slave owners. Deep southern blood runs in their veins. They decided to abandon slave ownership, and refused to ever own any slaves, or allow any of their families to.
Now I want to also make it clear that I have not yet received the proof of Jonathan and Ann's marriage or that Thomas and Jonathan are brothers, but it is written of Jonathan and Ann's marriage, but at this time, no one knows where this information came from. Jonathan in 1803 married Sarah Emily Basedale and his will discloses the names of his children with the first girl being named Ann. Ann Harold Love is never mentioned again in Westfield MM or in the Deep River MM of Guiliford Co., N.C. I presume she died and Sarah Basedale is his second wife, but it is very unusual for two men to have the same last name and have such important ideas of the same magnitude in a time when slavery was the rule and not the exception.
This truly highlights what I have found with the knowledge of this family. Well, I will continue with Thomas and Hannah (Harold) Love for this is the line I am most familiar with. Thomas and Hannah went on to have 11 children, and I will tell as much about them as I know.
Children of Thomas & Hannah (Harold) Love
1) Sarah Love b. 1786 N.C. is one daughter I know little about. I have no record of whom she married, when or where she died.2) Catherine Love was born in 1788 in N.C. She married at quite a late age of 37, to Peter Reynolds in 1825. She died between 1840 and 1850, Surry Co., N.C. I have received no records of any children born to this unity.
3) John Love was born 1788 in N.C. He has been a hard one to keep up with.
Our records show him being dismembered in Jan. 1819 because of marriage our of unity. This corresponds with a John Love's marriage to Polly (Anna?) Barden? in 1818. Lots of questions on this one. The Barden is questioned on the marriage bond. The Anna because in 1830, John is listed with his family. In 1840, John is gone and Anna Love appears as head of the family with same ages, for the dates as John's family of 1840. In 1870, Anna is gone but John is back, his age is 89 and he is living with his brothers David's daughter Mahala. Where or what happened to John and Anna between 1850 and 1870 I do not know at this time. That is how he stands for now.4) Rebecca Love was born in 1791 in N.C. and is on Westfield MM, Surry Co.,
N.C. records. She must have stayed with her mother and father until the death of her sister Catherine. She then, with Andrew Love, possibly a son of John, moved in with Peter Reynolds. I have no record of marriage between Rebecca and Peter, but by 1850, Rebecca is 60 years old and Peter much older. Andrew is only 22. In 1870, Andrew Love is taking care of Rebecca who is now 80 years old. This is my last record of Rebecca, so I presume she has died sometime between 1870 and 1880.5) Jonathan Love was born in 1793 in Surry Co., N.C., Westfield MM. He married Cynthia White in 1819 and before 1840 decided to leave N.C. to move to Hendricks Co., Ind. He was well into education, as was his entire family. We believe he was a school teacher in Hendricks Co., at least up to 1850. I have recently found this out and am expecting more on him and his family.
6) Richard Love was born 1799 at Westfield MM, Surry Co., N.C.
This is my family line. (Cheryl Meyers) Richard was the youngest son of Thomas and Hannah. His signature is on one of the land bonds that his father purchased in N.C. Around 1840, along with his brother, Jonathan, Richard went to Indiana, but he settled first in Marion Co., Ind. Then in 1850 he moved to Hendricks Co. with his brother. It was during this time that his sons, Hasten and John Dayton married. Hasten became a blacksmith in Morgan Co., Ind. and his brother James decided to live with him. In 1958, Don Love shared a story with W. Elmer Love and his wife Alma while they were visiting in Denver, Colorado. The story begins. Don told me his father, John C. Love, and my father, Willis Willard decided to come to Oregon to search for their uncle, Alexander, who had come to Eugene, Oregon several years before and had not been heard from since. They failed in their efforts and migrated to Eastern Washington to work in the wheat harvest. They stayed some three years doing farm work in Washington and Oregon, then returned to Kansas. John stayed in Kansas, but my father returned to Oregon. He told me many times that he liked the mountains so well that he had to come back. Willis married our mother, who was a Methodist preachers daughter in 1902, whose name was Sarah Alice Miller. Her father was an ordained minister who crossed the plains in 1851, as each wagon train had to have at least one preacher and one doctor to christian the new born and take care of the medical needs. Our mother was an excellent cook, as all mothers were in those days. She loved to make jams and jellys, pies and cakes. I was born in 1905. After I was about 5 or 6, I remember attending the district fairs as every town would have one. My mother would always take something she had made. I think it must have been 1911, anyway, I was preschool. My mother made a batch of wild blackberry jelly, sure was delicious. She could dump it out of a glass into a saucer, pick up the saucer to vibrate the saucer. The jelly would shake as a fat mans belly. She won the prize, which was a blue ribbon. Her niece, who was named for her, was going to the State fair and wanted to take a glass of the Jelly which mother let her do. She won the prize at State, received a blue ribbon attatched to the state seal. The Portland Produce Co. wanted to buy the reciepe. She received a check for $25, which she thought was a terrific price. A form was enclosed for her to sign. A pledge that she would not sell the reciepe to anyone else or commercialize the jelly and jam business. This Alice Love brand was still available until 1960. I always bought it at the grocery store. I do not know why it went out, but feel there were probably two reasons; it had a high sugar content, and was likely too expensive for competition. There was no pectin then.This lovely letter was written by Hasten's grandson, who is living today in Riddle Oregon at the age of 86. Willis lost his wife this year, 1992, but Racheal says he has five wonderful stepchildren caring for him. Rachel Love Williams has written to me also, telling about herself and brother. They know little about their grandfather Hasten. Their father raised his family on a small farm outside of Yoncalla, Oregon. Their mother died when Rachel was 10 and Willis 13. Along with their father, they stayed on their little farm until they both married. Their father never remarried. Rachel spent 5 years in a T.B. sanitarium and after recovering went to work in a grocery store. She is now caring for a 93 year old sister-in-law.
John Dayton, the second son of Richard, became a merchant. He married a girl whose father became a Morman. I don't know if he was, when they married, no record shows Phebe ever joining the church. Her father Benjamin Jones moved to Winter Quarters Neb. where he married again and went to Utah. John Dayton became a prominant merchant in Macksburg, Iowa. Even to this day his store still stands. Just a few years ago, while the store was being remodled, Bill Hand, a decendent, took a snap shot of John's grandson's name that was painted across the back wall of the store. Will boys ever change? ( I hope not) We just treasure the picture.
John Dayton and Phebe Jones Love had 7 children. One daughter Leona (Onie) Love married a Williams and whos child married a Hand. Their story will have to be told by Bill Hand of Neb. Another daughter Mary Elizabeth married a George Mehl and I will continue with their story.
With the Love family moving so much, George Mehl didn't have much time to know his Love to be. George met Mary in Ill., but only as a child of 12. Her family moved shortly after that to Iowa, where they settled. She could have not been much older than 8 herself when she first met George. George did not let this make him forget his LOVE. At the age of 21 he went searching out for her. Actually he ran a mule train delivering goods to th country stories. He found her at Winterset, Iowa, where he married her in Dec. of 1874.
They had their first boy child, Walter, in Macksburg, Iowa. Within the next 6 years, George took his family and moved back to his home town of Paxton, Ill. There in Paxton his wife gave birth to a little girl named Maud, in 1880. In her next try Mary delivered twins in 1883. One of the twins, Imo was weaker than Ivo and she died not long after. There was quite a distance between children after the twins but in 1888, Pearl was Iowa for a short time. They then returned to Paxton, Ill by 1890 when Mary passed awa. George remarries but thats another line.
Walter, George's and Marys's oldest son, was a jolly old bachlor until he was 40. He had followed cattle drives from Ill. to Iowa in his younger days until he settled down to farm the land.
There was a beautiful lady who Walter had fallen in love with but because this young woman was engaged to another, Walter started courting her best friend, Fannie Quinton. Walter felt at this age of life it was time for him to settle down and he chose Fannie to be his wife. There was much disaproval over his choice because Fannie was so little and not very strong. They warned him but love over rules all.
Fannie was born in Sumner Mo., and her mother was born on the Oregon Trail. Her family returned to Mo. Fannie and Walter were married in 1914. They had 6 children but only 3 lived to adulthood., Murle, Sylvia and Eugene.
Walter worked farming and logging in Missouri. He also trained mules for logging. He introduced the first tractor to the Paxton, Ford Co., area. Folks around said he spent as much time working on the tractor as he did plowing with it. George and Fannie died only a year apart, Fannie in 1932 and George in 1933, both of TB.Their oldest son, Murle was only 16 when his mother died and 17 when his father died. Sylvia was taken to a Mrs. Kerns, a long time friend of the family to live. Eugene was sent to Illinois to live with his fathers sister, Georgia.
Murle had to go to work to help support his sister and the only work that a 17 year old could find was with the C.C.C. (Civil Conservation Corp.) From the C.C.C., Murle joined the U.S. Army and took training at Fort Ord, Monterey, Calif. He became stationed at San Francisco Presdeo and on Treaure Island. He was on the crack drill team who presented the Manual of Arms at the 1939 Worlds Fair. He was discharged at San Francisco where met and married Ona June Hamilton.
Sylvia married and had three wonderful daughters but her life was uct short and in 1956 at the age of 36 she died.
Eugene was taken by Georgia who happened to be a school teacher, and was well educated and became famous for his work with cattle semon and the collecting of it. He was killed in his private aircraft traveling home. He left behind one son and four beautiful daughters. He would fly out and visit us in Ca. sometimes and he was so enjoyable. Tall and slinder with lots of energy.Murle spent the next 27 years after his discharge as a Longshoreman in Oakland and San Francisco. After the birth of his two sons, Murle Eugene and Charles, their marriage fell apart. Charles was adopted by another family Murle Eugene (Butch) was placed in his fathers custidy along with Charles but things happened and Charles was taken from him. He later met up with Clara Cleary in a boarding house where both were living. They married in 1946 and
only a few years later became the owners of their earlier courting grounds, the boarding house.In 1958, after numerous tries, Clara gave birth to their only child. Her name was Cheryl Ann. The title came from a well known tugboat the "Cheryl Ann". Butch left home when he turned 18 and joined the Navy. He later married Linda Leoni in 1964. They had two children, Eugene who reciently married and Cindy who may marry soon. They all live in the Oakland Bay Area in Ca.
After Murle's 27 years of work he became disabled with emphesima and moved his family to Purdy Ark. in 1973, to die only less than a year later in May of 1974.I am Cheryl and I first married while going to school in Idaho. Of this unity one son was born, David Allan Freeze. I returned home to Ark. in 1980 and married Owen Meyers, in 1981. We have 4 children besides the two he had
and the one I had. We live on a farm and raise chickens and feef cattle. I now need to return to Thomas and Hannah's children.Hannah Love, was born after Richard in 1801 Surry Co., NC. She married a Snoddy and they have a whole family history of their own. Due to a recient death in the family, of Pearlie Mae Snoddy, she was the family genealogist I
have no record of their family.
Sinthia Love, was born in 1804 Surry Co., NC and I have no record of her ever marring, but a doctors record shows Sinthia with a large doctor bill. Eighteen dollars wsa the bill and it was enormouse compared to the rest of his patients. I believe she must have died at an young adult age.I to have very little on Charity Love, born 1806. I believe she is with her parents up to 1840, but have no proof.
The information on this family comes in weekly and if any one is interested or has anything to add or take away, I am very grateful for all. Sincerely, Cheryl Meyers.
