Arminta Ann Claypool was born on August 26, 1865 in Braxton County, West Virginia, USA. She was the illegitimate daughter of Clarinda Elizabeth Claypool. It is unknown who her father was. This was during the time of the end of the American Civil War.

Arminta was commonly known as "Mintie".

Arminta's mother married Redmond Barrett on Sept. 27, 1869 in Lewis County, WV. Redmond was an Irish immigrant, who came to America in 1860, according to Census records. He was probably the only person Arminta ever knew as a father.

Clarinda and Redmond Barrett were known to have 4 children together. They were: Thomas Stewart Barrett (born1870), Mary Catherine Barrett (born 1873), Isaac Barrett (born 1875), and Iza Etta Barrett (born 1876). All were born in Braxton County, WV. They were Arminta's half-siblings.

She is listed as being able to read and write.

Simon Love died on May 17, 1901 in Braxton County, WV. His death certificate states that he was married and a farmer. Cause of death looks to be Paryalysis (somewhat illegible, handwritten record). He was buried in the Big Run Cemetery in Braxton County, WV.
