Biography

Children

James Wade Love, Son of Jonah Love and Mary Polly Garmon Love

Born 18 Jan 1828, James W. Love married first Malinda Louvenia Furr. Born 19 Mar 1826, she is the daughter of W. Mathias and Mary Page Furr. James is listed in the estate settlement of Mathias Furr.

The loose estate records for W. Mathias Furr provide a wealth of information. First, Mary's petition for widow's dower indicates that Mathias had 1,800 acres of land. On 22 Jan 1861, a commission laid off three tracts totaling 372 acres in the vicinity of Flat Rock Lutheran Church. Also, among the many holdings listed in the accounting of Mathias's estate, included is money in the "Charlotte Mint." It appears Mathias either owned a mine or was at least heavily involved in gold mining. On 2 Apr 1860, a notice for final settlement lists all heirs to the estate of W. Mathias Furr. The name of James W. Love appears on the list of heirs without that of his wife. It appears he is listed on behalf of his children and after the death of his wife Melinda Furr Love.
