where he resided till his death in 1845. He gave to the County (Haywood) the land on which Waynesville is located.
Col. Love had a large family of children, among who was Annie Dillard, who married James Gudger (my Grandfather) in 1805. Of this marriage, my father, Samuel Bell Gudger, was one of the children, born Feb. 7th, 1808, and died Jan. 24th, 1888. Of this marriage there were children as follows:
1) Mary Caroline Gudger, who married Col. W.H. Moore; has three children,
and is now a widow.

Mary Goodwin Willis, August 28th, 1861; she dies December 23rd, 1891.
By this marriage there were several children, towit: (a) Eugene Willis

leaving three sons.

I collected at one time much information regarding my great grandfather, Robert Love. After the Dorcas Bell Love Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution was organized I turned over all the papers I had concerning him to Miss Mary Love Stringfield, who resides at Waynesville, N.C. These papers contained the genealogy of Col. Robert Love, from the landing of Samuel Love, who came to Philadelphia with Wm. Penn's second Colony. Miss Stringfield will doubtless give you such information as these papers contain. Mrs. Margaret Hilliard, of Asheville, N.C., and Mrs. M.J. Branner, of Waynesville, N.C., granddaughters, and Dillard Love, Webster, N.C., and grandson, could, I think, give you much valuable information.
Wheeler's History of North Carolina and Ramsey's Annals of Tennessee also afford much data in regard to Col. Love. If I can serve you further command me.
Yours truly,
(Copy) J.C.L. Gudger,
