	JAMES LOVE was born in Archer Township, Harrison County, on the 11th of February, 1855, and is one of the representative farmers and influential citizens of his native township, of which he has served effectively as trustee and has given equally valuable service in the office of president of the township school board.  His excellent farm comprises 117 acres and is the stage of the vigorous and progressive activities as an agriculturist and stock-grower.      Mr. Love is a representative of one of the sterling pioneer families whose name has been closely identified with the development and progress of western-central Ohio.  He is a descendant of George Love, who was born and reared in Ireland, where he married Miss Isabelle Smith.  In the year 1791 he came with his family to America and established a home in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1800, when he came with his family to Ohio and became a pioneer settler in Belmont County, where he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives and where they endured their full share of the hardships and trials that fell to the lot of the frontier settlers.  George Love was a man of strong mentality and mature judgment, became a leader in community affairs and was actively concerned in the organization of Belmont County.  He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and his wife held membership in the Seceder Church, later known as the United Presbyterian, Concerning their children the following brief record may consistently be given:  John settled in Harrison County in 1808 and was the ancestor of the subject of this review:  Thomas  met his death while on one of his periodical trips in connection with pioneer transportation on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers;  George became a farmer in Belmont County and served with distinction as an officer in the War of 1812; William likewise assisted in the development of farm industry in this section of the state; Jane became the wife of Thomas Gillespie; Catherine married Joseph Haverfield; and Mary became the wife of Jacob Morgan.       John Love, son of George, was twenty-one years old at the time of the family immigration from Ireland to America and after coming to Ohio he married Mary, daughter of James Cooke, who was one of  the earliest settlers in what is now Harrison County.  After his marriage Mr. Love resided in Belmont county until 1808, when he came to Harrison County.  Here he purchased a large tract of wild land in Athens Township, and he reclaimed one of the productive farms of the early days in this township.  He was a man of prominence and influence in the communal life, served in various local offices of public trust, was a zealous and effective advocate of the principles of the democratic party, and both he and his wife held membership in the United Presbyterian church.  He died in March, 1860, his devoted wife having passed away Dec. 16, 1830.  they became the parents of six children - George, James C., Thomas, John, Nancy and Mary.      James C. Love, father of him whose name introduces this review, was born and reared in Athens Township, Harrison County, where was solemnized his marriage to Miss Jane McFadden.  Shortly afterward he engaged in farm enterprise in Archer Township, and here with the exception of a few years passed in similar occupation in Cadiz township he passed the remainder of his life, his death having occurred in 1876 and his widow having survived until 1891.  She was a daughter of Samuel McFadden.  Of the children of James C. and Jane (McFadden) Love the first born was Samuel, who died from an attack of measles while serving as a soldier in the Civil war John is a resident of Minnesota; Mary, Elizabeth and Alexander are deceased; and the three younger children are George, James and Nancy Jane.  the parents were zealous members of the Presbyterian Church.      James Love, the immediate subject of this sketch, gained his youthful education in the district schools of Archer Township, and here he initiated his independent career as a farmer.  In 1882 he became a pioneer farmer in Stearns County, Minnesota, where he continued his residence until 1901, when he returned to his native township and county, where he has since continued his successful association with agricultural and live-stock industry.      The year 1882 recorded the marriage of Mr. Love to Miss Sarah Ann Merryman, daughter of the late John Merryman, of Harrison County, and they have two children: Goldie M., is the wife of Clarence Dickerson, of Archer Township; and Floy Josephine is a popular teacher in the district schools of Harrison County.  Mr. Love is a democrat in political allegiance, and he and his wife hold membership in the Presbyterian church at Cadiz.  Source: History of Carroll and Harrison Counties, Ohio - Chicago: Lewis Pub.

	THOMAS M. LOVE, one of the progressive farmers and substantial citizens of Cadiz Township, is a scion of a family that was founded in Ohio in the early pioneer days and one whose name has been identified with the affairs of Harrison County for nearly four score years.  Mr. Love was born in Nottingham Township, Harrison County, Oct. 14, 1871, and is a son of George and Barbara (Barclay) Love, whose marriage was here solemnized Nov. 21, 1854, Mrs. Love  having been a daughter of David and Elizabeth (Kissick) Barclay, who were natives of Ireland, and who settled in Harrison County in the pioneer days.      George Love was born in Belmont County, Ohio, August 14, 1827, and was a son of George and Mary (Moore) Love, both natives of County Tyrone, Ireland., where the former was born about the year 1784 and the latter in 1801, she having been a child when she accompanied her parents, John and Mary (Smith) Moore, to America, the family settling in Ohio, George and Mary (Moore) Love became the parents of three children, Thomas, John and George, all of whom are now deceased.  The father died on his old homestead farm in Belmont County, Ohio, Feb. 21, 1829.  He was about eight years old when his parents, George and Sabilla (Smith) Love left their native County of Tyrone, Ireland, and immigrated to America, about the year 1792.  After remaining for a time in the state of Pennsylvania the family came to Ohio and settled in Wheeling Township, Belmont County, where the father purchased a tract of wild land, which he reclaimed, and there both he and his wife passed the remainder of their lives.  They were zealous members of the Seceder Church.  Their children were eight in number.      George Love III, father of the subject of this review, was about four years old when he accompanied his mother from Belmont County to Harrison County, where they arrived Aug. 10, 1831, Mrs. Love  having in the meanwhile become the wife of John A. Todd, a resident of Nottingham Township, this county, where she thus established her home as noted above and where she and her second husband passed the remainder of their lives.  Here George Love (III) was reared and educated.  After his marriage he purchased a farm of eighty acres in section 20, Nottingham Township, where later he purchased an additional 120 acres and became a successful farmer and stock-grower.  He was influential in public affairs, having been called upon to serve in various township offices, and he also held the office of county commissioner, to which he was elected in Oct. 1879.  He was a staunch republican, and he and his wife were zealous members of the United Presbyterian Church at Cassville.  Still in the possession of the family is a prized heirloom - the sword carried by his father in the War of 1812, a conflict in which he served as a captain of a company in the command of General William Henry Harrison.  Mr. Love was one of the venerable and honored pioneer citizens of the county at the time of his death, Feb. 9, 1910, and his widow, revered by all who knew her, passed to the life eternal on the 13th of May, 1914.  Concerning their twelve children brief record is made in the paragraph immediately following:      Elizabeth I. is the widow of John Blackwood, deceased, of Clay County, Kansas.

Love acquired his youthful education in the public schools of Nottingham Township, and he continued to be associated in the work of his father's farm until 1906, when he went to the west.  He was absent about one year in Kansas and Colorado, and upon his return to his native county he resumed his association with the work and management of the home farm.  After the death of his father he there continued his activities until 1915, when he removed to Cadiz Township, where ample demands are placed upon his time and attention in the management of a fine farm of about 400 acres, devoted to well ordered agriculture and to the raising of excellent grades of live stock.  He is one of the alert and progressive representative citizens of his native county.  He is a loyal supporter of the principles of the republican party, and he and his wife hold membership in the United Presbyterian Church at New Athens.  Their pleasant home is known for its generous hospitality and good cheer.      August 7, 1913, recorded the marriage of Mr. Love to Miss Emma Barricklow a daughter of John D. Barricklow and a representative of an old and honored family of which ample record is made on other pages of this work.  Mr. and Mrs. Love are the parents of two children, Frederick B., who was born Dec. 20, 1914, and Anna Margaret, born Sept. 30, 1920.  Source: History of Carroll and Harrison Counties, Ohio - Chicago: Lewis Pub.
