order Book 3, page 149. It appears from records order Book 4, page 107 Ephriam Love was appointed Capt. of Foot on Mach 20th, 1754.
Our effort must be to establish the apparent fact the Ephriam was father of Joseph and Samuel. Please read again carefully my paper, where I had thought from dates that this was so or could be so, and please send me any thing you have about the Love family, besides the names or your own family that were sent in your first letter. You said you had a great deal about the Alabama and Tennessee Loves. I send you all I had and will gladly give you the benefit of any deeds or records that my sister and I may get. We are still at work on it and so is Argenbright. I trust you have some things that I have not. "On 27th Feb., 1749 Ephriam Vance sold 200 acres of land in Augusta County, Virginia to Joseph Love on Goose Creek. Deed witnessed by Frances Beaton, Wm. Dunlap and George Anderson. 5 Shillings the price.

Dear Friend and Cousin: October 10th, 1810.
I am blessed with an opportunity of informing you that I am well at present and am still acting in the employment of _________________ Anderson, and have had to attend Morganton Superior Court a witness in a suite between George Davidson and Thomas Davidson plaintiffs where George Cathey senior, was defendant, contending for a tract of land, him, the said George, purchased of General Miller of the County of Rutherford. Your Father acts as Davison's attorney or agent. The suit was postponed until March Term next, when I shall again attend on "Accompt" of giving information concerning the disputed lines of said land, as I was the surveyor thereof.
Nothing has turned up material since your departure with us. Be pleased to write me by the bearer hereof, your brother John Love; also look over the style in which I write, If I have committed errors.
This from yours with the highest esteem and respect,
Robert Love, Junior.
To: Thomas D. Love,
N.B. Remember me to Samuel and wife.
