From Wm. Joiner:
Robert LOVE was listed in the 1830 U. S. census as being a resident of
Monticello, Pike County, Alabama. One source has indicated that he died in
Greene County, Alabama. Another, and probably the most accurate, indicates that he died at his daughter's (Anne Love II who married Samuel Key) home in
Wetumpka, Montgomery County, Alabama in 1832.1 PROP a non-vacant land grant for 219 acres, situated on Great Rocky Creek of Rocky River2 DATE 2 JUL 1798

.............................The 1800 U. S. Census of The Pendleton District of South Carolina enumerated the household of Robert LOVE as follows: one Male under 10, one male betwen 26 and 46, and one female between 16 and 26.
General Andrew PICKENS was a near neighbor of Robert and Ann LOVE in The
Pendleton District of South Carolina, as was the widow of General PICKENS'
brother, Captain Joseph PICKENS. These families were very close; Ann Dowdle
LOVE's brother James DOWDLE married Ann PICKENS, her sister Margaret DOWDLE
married Andrew PICKENS, and her brother Robert DOWDLE, Jr. married Eleanor Jane PICKENS. All three of these PICKENS were children of Captain Joseph PICKENS and his wife, Eleanor. They were the nieces and nephew of General Andrew PICKENS, first cousins to South Carolina's Governor (1816-1818) Andrew PICKENS (1779-1838) and were second cousins to Alabama's Governor (1821-1825) Israel PICKENS (1780-1827).The 1830 U. S. Census of Pike County, Alabama enumerated the household of Robert LOVE as follows: one male under 5, one male between 5 and 10, one male between 10 and 15, three males between 20 and 30, one male between 30 and 40, one male between 50 and 60, one female between 5 and 10, one female betwen 10 and 15, one female between 15 and 20, and one female between 40 and 50.
The 1810 U. S. Census of The Pendleton District of South Carolina enumerated the children of the household of Robert LOVE as follows: two males under 10, one male between 10 and 16. The enumeration of Robert and Ann LOVE was not
available at the time of this transcription.Robert DOWDLE, Sr., bought this 213 acre plot of land in public auction and in 1816 he deeded it to Robert and Ann Dowdell LOVE's son, John LOVE for $1.00.
Robert LOVE's brother Joseph LOVE migrated from South Carolina to Alabama and
was in Morgan County, Alabama in 1820.According to the obituary of Ann Love Key THOMPSON, the Robert and Ann LOVE
family moved from South Carolina to Greene County, Alabama and remained there
until 1827, when they moved to Monticello, Pike County, Alabama.Robert and Ann LOVE built and operated an inn at Monticello, the County Seat of Pike County, Alabama.
A search of the Alabama State Department of Archives and History (which has
possession of the early Montgomery County, Alabama records) failed to disclose any record of land ownership by Robert LOVE or his son-in-law, Samuel KEY in Montgomery County, Alabama. A search of the General Land Office/Bureau of Land Management failed to disclose a land patent or warrant for either Robert LOVE or Samuel KEY. It might be assumed that they were "squatting" in Montgomery County. (12 June 1998) A search of the early Autauga County, Alabama records has not been accomplished.The obituary of Ann Love Key THOMPSON stated: "Here (i.e.: Monticello, Pike
County, Alabama) they remained only three years, removing at the end of that
time to Wetumpka, where the father, Capt. Robert Love, died. The daughter, who had previously married Mr. Samuel Key, also lost her husband there, and during the Spring of 1833 the widowed mother and daughter returned to Monticelli, where they remained for six years, and then moved to Troy. The deceased lived her with her mother until 1846, the time of the marriage to Mr. James M. Thompson, who died during the month of Sept. 1861."NOTE: Harold L.

MARRIAGE: In the folloiwng information on the LOVE family of Pike County,
Alabama, heavy support has been provided by Margaret Pace FARMER of Troy, who is an emminent Alabama historian. Any information herein that is int guotes (e.g.: " ") and is followed by the initials [MPF] is attributed directly to Mrs. FARMER.MARRIAGE: Of the children of Robert LOVE and Ann DOWDLE, it is commonly accepted that their children were Ann LOVE (1809-1873), Jane LOVE (1813-bef 1870), Mary Emmaline LOVE (1815-1848), Andrew Pickens LOVE (1818-1896), William Mills LOVE (1820-1900) and Sarah Ellen LOVE (1823-bef 4 Nov 1869).
MARRIAGE: This brings us to Robert Dowdle LOVE (1799-aft 1859). Margaret Pace FARMER did not document him; Harold L. DOWDLE did document him, as did the obituary of William Mills LOVE. Robert Dowdle LOVE was the sole heir of Thomas LOVE (Robert LOVE's brother) and his wife Rebecca DOWDLE (Ann DOWDLE's sister). (See a transcription of the will of Thomas LOVE in his notes elsewhere in this document.) Sufficient evidence exists to add him to the list of children.
MARRIAGE: John LOVE (1802- ) was not documented by Margaret Pace FARMER, nor was he mentioned in William Mills LOVE's obituary. Harold L. DOWDLE lists him as one of the children born in the Pendleton District of South Carolina. There is a deed on file in the records of the Pendleton Disctrict, South Carolina, where Ann Dowdle LOVE's father, Robert DOWDLE, Sr. bought the land in Public Auction that Robert LOVE had lost through seizure in 1804. Robert DOWDLE, Sr. deed this property (213 acres) to Robert and Ann LOVE's son John LOVE in 1816 for 1.00. Sufficient evidence exists to add him to the list of children.
MARRIAGE: James D. LOVE (1802/1810- ) was not documented by Margaret Pace
FARMER, nor by Harold L. DOWDLE. He is mentioned in the obituary of William Mills LOVE. A James D. LOVE was in Pike County (presumably in Monticello), Alabama from at least 1832 until 1848.MARRIAGE: Infant child LOVE (abt 1807- ) was documented by Harold L. DOWDLE as male. Apparently this same child was documented by a Mrs. A. O. HENDRIX, as quoted in Bill RICE's book on the history of Troy as female. The sex of the infant child is imaterial.
