There was a John Love was in the War of 1812 who is listed in the North Carolina War of 1812 Muster Roll for Buncombe Co., in the Eighth Regiment,, Fifteenth Company, Detached from the First and Second Buncombe Regiments. I believe that some of the Love's settled in NC because Ebzan, Sr. married Emma Bailey in Madison, NC and a number of the children, including Ebzan Jr. were born in NC. Today there are descendents of John and Nancy Love's daughter, Martha Ann Love Hauser living in Franklin Township, Macon Co., North Carolina.

John obviously died somewhere between the Census of 1860 and that of 1870 since he is not found on the 1870 Census report. Nancy is head of household with her daughter, Martha A. and family living with her. Is "Edmon" really Edwin, son of Ebzan Sr. and Sarah Love. Edwin was probably visiting his grandmother because Ebzan and Sarah lived at the time in Grainger Co., TN in the Morristown District. The 1870 Geene Co.
