A letter from Mrs. E. L. Connally to me-F.D. Love,
#53 Ashby Street, Atlanta, GA
Dear Mr. Love: May 25th, 1903.
I am glad to hear from you again after so long a time. My sister, Miss Sallie E. Brown, and myself are the persons interesting ourselves about the Love ancestry. I suppose the clerk of Augusta County, VA, Mr. Harry Burnett, refers to us, as we have been getting papers from him, as well as from H. Argenbright, a genealogist in Staunton, VA. You are looking for Love & Bell and we for Love & Teas. Miss Mary Love Stringfield has some deeds of the Bells-they are not my line. She had some trouble about the price and a threatened lawsuit. We find it best to get a copy of will or deed for regular clerk's fee-$2 or $3 each. Argenbright, the genealogist, who owns old papers not belonging to the State, is very high in the charges. He has sent us papers in regard to our Teas ancestry. Jos. Love, (brother of Samuel) my g-g-grandfather, married Mary Teas, D. of Jos. and Jane Teas. They resided in Augusta County, VA in 1741; had three children-Charles, William and Mary. Joseph Teas was appointed Commissioner of Roads for Augusta County, VA, May 22nd, 1749. He was also on Committee (in 1741) to build a Meeting House at Tinkling Springs, and contributed to its support until his death, and his wife, Jane, contributed to same after his death. Other items about the Teas children: - Argenbright also says "Joseph Love and Ephraim Love came to Augusta County from PA, in 1745 as shown by the records of Augusta County Court. The indications are that Ephraim was the father of Joseph. There was also Samuel and Robert; the latter served with the Colonial forces of Augusta County. It appears that Ephraim and Joseph Love came to Augusta County together. I could not learn the name of Ephraim's wife - mentioned a number of times as Ephraim's wife. Joseph Love left Augusta County in 1776, moved to Montgomery County, Virginia. In 1754 Ephraim Love took the oath appointed to be taken by act of parliament instead of the oath of allegiance and supremacy, and subscribed the oath of abjuration and also the test, which on his motion is ordered to be certified on his Commission to be Captain of a Company of Foot. Ephraim Love was one of seven captains who tried Capt. Abraham Smith in 1758 for a charge of cowardice. At a court martial of Enquiry held at Augusta Court House the 10th, day of May 1758 by the Officers of the Militia of said County on the conduct and behavior of Capt. Abraham Smith, who was out with part of his Company on South Branch after Sybert's Fort was burned by the enemy, which inquiry was held on complaint of Edward Magary, - President, Co. James Buchanan, Col. David Stewart, Maj. John Smith, and Captains James Lockhart, Israel Christian, Thomas Armstrong, Ephraim Love, M. Syers, Robert Bratton and Robert Hooke. Will of Jos. teas recorded in Will Book 2, p.143. gave Mary 400 acres land-this land conveyed to her husband Jos. Love 16th, Aug. 1762-Book 10, page 395. Joseph and Mary afterwards conveyed name to other parties. Jos. Teas appointed County Surveyor by President of William & Mary College May 22nd, 1749-
