John Love, commonly called John O'Love, was born in Molinmore parish, Donegal, in 1795 and married Eleanor Love of the same parish in 1821; they were still living in Keene Township in 1881, and their son Thomas married Mary J. Endsley in 1872. A second John Love, born in Ireland in 1806, came to America at about twenty and farmed in Keene Township, marrying Jane McConnell in 1838; his parents are named as James and Jane (McKee) Love, the same names given for Eleanor's parents, but the book never calls them brother and sister and names different McKee grandparents for each. Joseph Love, born in Philadelphia in 1836, came to Linton Township with his father in 1846, where two great-uncles, William and Alexander Love, were early settlers; he taught school for fifteen years. Every fact below is cited to a public-domain Coshocton County history.
