The Love Connection

Samuel Love and Elizabeth Nation had multiple children, including Sarah Elizabeth Love who married William Ragsdale and Kiziah Love who married John Lawley/Lolly.

William and Sarah Love Ragsdale have several connections to Britta Green and the McGuires. First, William and Sarah's son James Marion Ragsdale and wife Drucilla lived next door to Britta and John McGuire in Jefferson County in 1860. While there's no smoking gun, I believe that Britta named her second daughter Mary Drucilla after her sister and Drucilla Ragsdale.

Also William and Sarah Love Ragsdale's children married McGuires: Sidney Jackson Ragsdale married Sarah Ann McGuire, and Louisa Caroline (Carrie) Ragsdale married Robert McGuire. The website below doesn't list all its sources, but everything I have checked has checked out, so I am inclined to accept its data:

In another Love line...

Kiziah Love married John Lawley and had umpteen children, among whom was Lurana Lawley who married William Henry Davis.

And Carolyn E. Davis married Elisha Lawley.

Is William H. Davis brother to James B. Davis who married Mahala Green?? How about Caroline Davis?

And what's Love got to do with it, anyway????
