Last night I was reading the most interesting journal of William Calhoun Love, a son of William Love and Esther Calhoun above. Here is a brief quote from his journal which speaks of your Love ancestor. William C. Love calls him "James", but from looking at your home page, I gather his name was Thomas. I'm wondering if he could be the Thomas above (born 1766) who was a son of Samuel Love and Dorcal Bell. In any case his two sons, Henry and Slone Love, are mention on your page, so it has to be the same family.

Here is the excerpt:

"I bought a few horses and took them by land to Mississippi. Traveled through the Indian nation called on two of my relations, half breeds by the name of Love, Henry and Slone, they treated me friendly as other travellers, but did not care to claim kin as the Indians only claim kin by the Mother's side. I learned that a good many years ago a man by the name of James Love and from what I could learn a cousin to my Father was returning home through the nation and a company of Choctowas came across him, robbed him and took his horse. He wandered on into the Chickisaws was taken sick and lay sometime and when he got well he took a young squaw to wife and remained in the Nation. Henry had married a white woman and his children look as well as common children with the exception of the one who has an Indian Eye. Slone Love had a full blood Indian to wife and looked very Indianfied himself."
