Descendants of Samuel & Susan (Kirkskadden) Love Ref: The story of the Love and McKee Families probably in Scotland. After many years of rebellion in Ireland, the English courts declared a large part of the lands of Ulster in Ireland be forfeited to the Crown. The English Government then granted the area out in separate tracts to proprietors, who would agree to bring in settlers from England and Scotland. In the next few years some 20,000 of these colonists came to Ireland. They were mostly from the lowlands of Scotland and deeply attached to Presbyterianism. Most were farmers or weavers, but several towns were founded. This colonization of Northern Ireland is usually known as the "The Plantation of Ulster". The Love Family probably dates back to this era. However, the Love Family in 1819 were living in Molinmore Parish, County Down, Ireland, fairly close to Londonderry in the northern part of Ireland. Samuel Love and his wife, Susan Kirskadden were both born and died in Ireland. They had two sons: James and Patrick, both born in Ireland. Patrick, the younger son, had four children, Mason, David, Susan and Alice. Patrick Love and family came to America in the early 1800's locating on farms between Millerburg and Bloomfield (now Clark Co., OH). This community was called Dority Foxhs. Very little is known about this branch of the family. James Love, the older son of Samuel and Susan (Kirkskadden) Love, was married to Jennie McKee and had seven children. This family, the parents and seven children all came to America in three different groups: 1819, 1826 and 1838. (Sprague Genealogy pg. 157 - 167). Ref: (Sprague Genealogy) In 1826, the parents of Samuel Love, came to America with four of their children and lived on the Love Farm in Ohio. We are not sure when sister, Annie (Love) Cochran and her husband, George came to America. Annie and George came first to Ohio and later moved to Iowa, near Iowa City - no further details on this family. Ref: Maro Johnson – The next representative of the Loves to come from Ireland were members of the family of Eleanor Love, maternal grandmother of Ann (Love) Johnson. The first to arrive was Samuel, Eleanor’s brother, son of James and Jennie (Kirskadden) Love, said to have been married in Scotland, and Robert and Fannie (McKee) McKee. The boy Samuel, with the consent of his parents, sailed from Queenstown in May or June 1819 in company with two other young men and after a rough voyage landed at Pier #4 in New York City, on July 4th. Soon the group went to Philadelphia and from there walked to Pittsburgh and McKeesport, PA, where there were one or more McKey families. Samuel continued on the Coshocton Co., OH, and in a few years was able to buy a farm east of the village of Keene. In 1826, he wrote his parents that he had a home for them and requested them to come to Ohio, which they did following disposal of their livestock and other effects and bringing their family, except Eleanor. 1.

Res., Keene Twp., Coshocton Co., OH; Champaign Co., IL. Ref: Samuel arrived in the U. S. in May/Jun. 1819 from Queenstown; arrived on Pier #4, NYC on 4 July 1819, not yet 20 years of age. Ref: Clerk of Courts, Coshocton Co., OH – Samuel Love, Donegal, Ireland – Naturalized July 29, 1830, Coshocton County Common Pleas Court Record C, pg. 879. Ref: Samuel Love, the oldest child in the family with two other young men, not relatives, came to America in 1819 as the first member of the James Love Family. The idea that he was to find a suitable home and the other members of his family would follow. He came over on a freighter, not a very stable ship, that carried no insurance, but the fare was enticing. The three boys arrived in New York July 4, Pier #4 at 2 p.m. in 1819. (James Love of Urbana (son of Samuel Love) and daughter, Myra, went to New York in 1919 to be at Pier #4 at 2 p.m. on July 4th in memory of his Father, Samuel.) To save money they walked to Philadelphia and most of the way west across Pennsylvania to McKeesport, PA. McKeesport had been settled by the Scotch from Ireland and, as such, was known to the Love Family. It is not sure how long he stayed in Pennsylvania, where he taught school in the winter and worked on the canals in the summer. Later he migrated to Coshocton County, bought a farm about two miles south of Keene and four miles north of Coshocton. Here he lived and worked until 1826 when he wrote his family to sell their property and cattle in Ireland and come to America as he had a home ready for them. Eleanor, his sister, had already had one small child. Annie had married when quite young, George Cochran, and it is not clear just when they came to America. So the family at home in Ireland in 1826 to come to America consisted of the parents, James and wife, Jennie McKee, John b. 1806, Thomas b. 1910, Fannie b. 1812, and Alice b. 1815 (1850 census). John, a young man about 20 years old, was most enthused over leaving for America and was entrusted with disposal of the family property. He took a herd of cattle to a market south of their home. In the course of completing the sale, a Bible was needed to complete the contract. They finally located a family that had a Bible and on leaving John explained that his family was going to America. The Mother, Mrs. McKee, immediately stated that her son was in America and as soon as John arrived to please tell her son, Andrew, about his family and tell him to write. John tried to explain that America was a large country band that they would probably never meet. But they did later meet in Coshocton County and this Andrew McKee married John’s sister, Fannie Love. Andrew McKee, who Fannie married, was born in 1802 (1850 census) lived south of the Love Family near Londonderry in Ulster County. He came to America at an early age – at least before 1826. While in Ireland he followed the trade of weaver. Although he was a farmer in Ohio, locating near Plainfield, south of Coshocton, he still wove wool blankets and colored coverlets. (Three are still in the family. He had a brother, James McKee, born in Ireland, Ulster County in 1817, died in Coshocton County 1843. Never married. Buried in M.E. Cemetery in Keene, OH. Charles McKee, another brother, first lived, on coming to America, in Ohio and later moved to Iowa. Married late in life and had no children. Eleanor McKee, a sister of Andrew McKee, born in Ulster County, Ireland in 1794, married in Ireland, Andrew Lockhard, born in 1792. During the 1830’s they came to America. They had no children. They were nine weeks on the ocean with very turbulent weather all the journey. They settled on a farm near Keene, taking up land from the government. Andrew McKee, born 1802 in Ireland and Fannie Love, who came to Ohio with her family in 1826, were married Dec. 5, 1837, and moved to a farm near Plainfield, Ohio. Ref: (Sprague Family) Samuel first came to America on 4 July 1819 and established a home for his parents and the rest of the family. Samuel did not marry until 12 Dec. 1839, when he married Deborah Mitchell, born 17 Jan. 1810 in Maryland. It seems that all the family from Ireland were now established in America, with a new life ahead for them and, at long last, it was Samuel's turn to start his own life. Ref: History of Champaign Co., IL, Bunk, McDonough & Co., Philadelphia, 1878, pg. 139 -- Samuel Love, b. 23 Jun. 1796, Co. Donegal, Ireland, s/o James & Jane (???) Love. Samuel came to America in 1819 at the age of 22, settling in Pennsylvania for three years when he removed to Muskingum Co., OH. He married in Coshocton Co., OH in Dec. 1839 to Deborah Mitchell. While in Coshocton Co., OH, Samuel was engaged in Milling and distilling. In 1852, Samuel moved to Sidney Twp., Champaign Co., IL, purchasing land between Philo and Sidney, IL, close to Champaign. He died 17 Jan. 1873 at the age of 77 yrs. and his wife, Deborah (Mitchell) Love d. 28 Feb. 1893, both in Champaign Co., IL. They had six sons and 1 daughter of whom all except one son is living.

Ref: Champaign Co., IL Estate #828 dtd. 1 Dec. 1871 - The Last Will & Testament of Samuel Love of the town of Philo, Champaign Co., IL. “In the name of God, Amen: I Samuel Love do make and declare the following to be my last will and testament. First - I direct that my body to be buried at such place and that such monuments be erected over my remains as my wife and family may decide.” Samuel left all real estate to four sons, John M. Love, James Love, Joseph Love and Samuel Sharon Love and a like amount of money to Elizabeth Love, his daughter, in addition to four thousand dollars to be paid to her by the brothers. The copy of the will is very difficult to read. Ref: (Sprague Family) The following records copied from the Love Family Bible, dated 1834, entered by Samuel Love. The Bible is now in the possession of Betty Mason, Glen Ellyn, IL, a great granddaughter of Samuel & Deborah (Mitchell) Love. Samuel Love and family moved to Champaign Co., IL in 1852, purchasing farmland between Philo and Sidney, IL, close to Champaign. This is the Love Family best known to the Bement descendants of Maro Sprague and his wife, Elizabeth McKee, whose Mother was Fannie Love, a sister of Samuel Love. Ref: Champaign Daily Gazette, Champaign, IL, Feb. 16, 1891, pg. 1 - Mrs. Deborah Love, wife of Samuel Love, died Sunday night, at her home near Philo. She was a native of Maryland, and resided in this county for many years. Her age was 82 years. The funeral will be held at Philo, at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. Ref: Excerpt from Hill’s History of Coshocton Co., OH, pg. 270, 971 - Next to water the drink of the pioneers was whisky - copper-still rye whisky. Everybody drank it. It was supposed to be indispensable to health, to strength and endurance during labors of the day, and to sleep at night. It was supposed to be absolutely indispensable to warmth and animation in cold, chilly winter. It was the sacrament of friendship and hospitality, it was in universal use, yet there was probably less drunkenness in those days than at present. The whisky was absolutely pure, it was not drugged, doctored and poisoned as it is today, and although enough of it would bring drunkenness, it did not bring the d.t.’s or leave the system prostrated and the victim with a headache on “sobering up”. It was the first thing in demand as an article of commerce. Stills for its manufacture sprang up everywhere, all along the streams. Pioneers soon found a market at these stills for their corn, hence corn became the great crop, and whisky the great article of commerce. It was the only thing that would bring money and money they must have to pay taxes. Whisky could be purchased for 12 or 15 cents a gallon and paid for in corn, and the barrel of whisky in the cellar was as common as the barrel of cider was later. The whisky that was not consumed at home was shipped on flat boats on the Muskingum, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans and sold for Spanish gold. One of the first rebellions against the government of the U. S. was commonly called the “whisky insurrection”, had its growth out of the hardships of the Scotch-Irish of Western Pennsylvania who in the northern country had learned to love whisky and hate gougers; and this population gave tone and character to the first settlers of East Ohio. There was this apology for the production of whisky, that it was the only means of disposing of the surplus crops, and bringing money into the county. Wm. Renfrew & Robert Hay commenced operation on this line in 1831-2 in Upper Roscoe. The firm afterward became Love & Hay (Samuel Love afterwards removed to Champaign County, IL, being in first, and afterward his brother, Thomas Love). Subsequently, the distillery in Roscoe having burned, they came over to the old flouring mill at corner of Main & 2nd Streets in Coshocton, and there continued for many years. In 1863, Thomas Love & Co. sold 1000 barrels of their whisky to parties who immediately shipped it to California and brought back as their return cargo, 30,000 barrels of flour. The very heavy capital involved and to some extent imperiled in the seasons of highest prices for corn, and especially the difficulties of competing with less honest distillers, who would run “crooked” whisky, and the ample returns already secured, led to the giving up of the business. There is at this writing (1876) no recognized still in the county, and no whisky has been made in the county for some ten years. Ref: 1840 Coshocton Co., OH census, pg. 280.

Ref: The News-Gazette, Champaign-Urbana, IL, Friday, July 22, 1949, pg. 1 - John Love First ‘49 Fatality; 2 New Cases - Outbreak Not Epidemic Extent But Health Officials Urge All To Be Alert - Poliomyelitis struck a death blow at the Champaign-Urbana area Thursday night and added two more patients to the growing list of infantile paralysis victims in this section of east central Illinois. John Love, 19 year old Sidney-Philo farm youth, died of polio at 9:30 p.m. Thursday in St. John’s hospital, Springfield, where he was taken Wednesday afternoon from Burnham City hospital. The death occurred about the same time the dread disease was being diagnosed in two new cases here -- the eighth and ninth polio victims reported within the past week. The new victims are Joan Well, 20, a University of Illinois coed from Streator, and Robert Ragel, 2, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ragel, 303 West Bradley avenue. Young Love, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Love of Sidney, had been ill since Monday. He was taken to Burnham City hospital Tuesday afternoon, and the polio diagnosis was made Wednesday morning. The youth then was taken to St. John’s hospital, Springfield, with a paralysis which affected his left arm and throat, leaving him unable to swallow. Physicians reported Thursday morning that he was “very sick”. Shocked by the news of the polio death and the report of two more cases, Champaign-Urbana went to work Friday to steel itself against the possibilities of a polio epidemic. Burnham city hospital announced that it would open a polio ward Friday afternoon, and the Red Cross began compiling a list of county nurses who could be called in an emergency. Funeral services for Love will be conducted at 2 p.m. Sunday on the lawn of the Love home between Sidney and Philo. In case of inclement weather, the services will be in the Presbyterian church at Philo. Reverend Manley Mace, pastor of the Philo Presbyterian church, will officiate, and burial will be in Locust Grove cemetery, Philo. The body will be at the Freese funeral home, St. Joseph, until it is taken to the Love residence Sunday morning. Love’s death is the first polio fatality in east central Illinois since July 27, 1948 when Durward J. Gwin, 26 year old Armstrong Navy Veteran, died in Lake View hospital at Danville. Doctor S. N.

Ref: Champaign Co., IL, 20 Jan. 1898, Champaign Daily Gazette, pg. 1 - Death of Joseph Love - It Was Caused by a Carbuncle - Funeral This Afternoon - Joseph Love, who was formerly a prominent farmer in Philo township, two miles east of the village of Philo, died at his home in Decatur, Tuesday, and the burial occurred at Lynn Grove Cemetery, Philo township, this afternoon, the remains being brought from Decatur on an early morning train. A carbuncle on the neck was the cause of Mr. Love’s death and he had been ill but a short time. Up to two years ago, Mr. Love was one of the most extensive farmers in Philo township, and he disposed of his farm, going to Decatur where he engaged in the manufacture of trunks and mattresses, meeting with success. He was a brother of President Love, of the Champaign County Farmers’ institute, and had many acquaintances in Champaign. He leaves a wife and two grown daughters and three or four brothers and sisters. Ref: Champaign News Gazette, Champaign, IL, 14 Nov. 1922 - Bury Eliza Love in Philo Cemetery - Philo, Nov. 14 - The body of Mrs. Eliza J. Love, who died at her home in Decatur on Sunday evening, is expected to arrive in Philo at noon Wednesday. The funeral services will be held at 12:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon from the First Presbyterian Church in Philo. The Rev. Robert Scott, pastor of the church, will assist in conducting the services. The interment will be made in the Locust Grove Cemetery. Ref: Past and Present of Macon Co., IL, pg. 354 - 55 - Joseph Love, who in 1893 became a resident of Decatur where he was engaged in the manufacture of mattresses, was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, on the 7th of April, 1847, his parents being Samuel and Deborah (Mitchell) Love, both of whom were natives of the Buckeye state. Samuel Love came west with his family in an early day and established his home in Champaign county, Illinois, where he purchased a section of land from the government, for which he paid two dollars and a half per acre. Not a furrow had been turned or an improvement made upon the tract but with characteristic energy he began to clear it and to plow and plant it. He also erected good buildings and in course of time developed an excellent farm which he continued to cultivate and which he made his home until his death. His wife also passed away on the old homestead in Champaign county and some of their children now reside upon the same farm there. Excellent educational privileges were afforded to Joseph Love. He pursued his early studies in the district schools and later became a student in the Champaign University, in fact, he was one of its first pupils and the thorough training which he there received well prepared him for life's practical and responsible duties. On putting aside his text books he began farming near the old homestead in Champaign county and while thus engaged he returned to Ohio in 1875 and was there married to Miss Eliza J. Hanlon, a native of Jefferson county, Ohio, born in 1849. Her parents were William and Mary (Stark) Hanlon, and her father, who was a farmer by occupation, spent his entire life in Jefferson county. His widow still resides there and has reached the advanced age of eighty-two years. Five children were born unto Mr. and Mrs. Love; Nellie H., who is now a teacher in the Sangamon street school in Decatur; Mary, who occupies a position as private secretary in the Boys' School in Lake Forest, Illinois; Louella, who is a stenographer and teacher in Brown's Business College of Decatur; Florence, who is at home with her mother; and one that died in infancy. After his marriage, Mr. Love engaged in general farming in Champaign county until 1893, when he came to Decatur and established a mattress factory near the home which is now occupied by his widow. In the new enterprise he prospered and continued in the business up to the time of his death. He did excellent work and secured a liberal patronage, his products finding a ready sale on the market. In business affairs he was strictly reliable and he became a well known and respected representative of trade interests in this city. He was energetic, a man of firm purpose and strong will and in all his dealings with his fellow men he was upright and honorable. In his political views he was an earnest Republican, believing firmly in the party and its principles yet never seeking office. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church of Decatur and his life was in harmony with its teachings. He died January 18, 1898, leaving not only a comfortable competence to his widow but also an honorable name. Mrs. Love now occupies a beautiful home at No. 812 North College street, where she resides with her daughters. They are well known in Decatur and enjoy the favor and friendship of many a household here. Ref: 1880 Sidney Twp., Champaign Co., IL census, pg. 313D; 14/14. Love, Joseph A., 32, b. OH, Pts b.
