I am searching for information on my grandmother. Her name was Amanda Levinda Love. Date of birth: April 29, 1890. Parents were Green and Iler Love. Mother was a Honeycutt. Siblings were Lola, Daves, Essie, Vera and Lester. Vera had a daughter named Maybelle. Essie was married to Penniger. Grandma McKenzie was first married to a Coley and had two sons, William (Bill) and Coy. Later she married Charles James McKenzie. They lived in Mooresville, N.C. They had 2 daughters and 2 sons.....Edna, Gladys, Douglas and Bobby Eugene McKenzie. Thanks so much for any clues. Millie McKenzie Hyman, dgt of Douglas and Sara Frances Mckenzie.

Dear Millie, I think we may be distant cousins. Your Green Love married Sara Huneycutt on 10-11-1887. He was the son of James Washington"Old Rock Hole Jimmy" Love and Mary "Polly" Tucker. James was the son of Jonah Love and Mary"Polly" Garmon. I would love to hear from you and help all that I can. Violet Hartis

There seems to be an error in Violet's response. According to my Love records, James Wade Love was the son of Jonah & Mary Garmon Love. The James, who md. Mary Tucker, has not been fully identified (as to who his parents are) in our direct line, but served in the War of 1812 and died in the early 1820's.
