Joel was the first son of Thomas Kendrick & Virgina Jane (Love) Love. His parents were first half cousins; Thomas was the son of Joseph "Joel" Love, & Virginia Jane was the daughter of Edom Love. Joseph & Edom had the same father, John, but different mothers.
Joel (age 24) married Margaret Elizabeth Brickle (age 20) in Hickman Co, TN, on November 20, 1864. Elizabeth, born in Hickman Co on May 28, 1843, was the daughter of John & Anna (Baker) Brickle.
Their children were:
Sarah Jane (June 28, 1866 - Oct. 9, 1952)
Andrew "Andy" Luther (May 13, 1868 - May 21, 1916)
Laura Eudora (October 7, 1869 - December 30, 1926)
Addie Etta (January 24, 1871 - August 13, 1953)
Mary "Mollie" Frances (March 18, 1872 - April 20, 1936)
William Jackson (September 24, 1875 - February 20, 1964)
Minnie Loucretia (December 8, 1878 - Oct. 15, 1955)
John Thomas (June 11, 1880 - June 18, 1880)
Robert Spencer (June 19, 1887 - February 19, 1959)
Joel's mother died in the fall of 1876, and his father & some of his siblings including my g-grandfather, William James, went to TX. After they arrived in TX his father stayed with his sister, Lucretia, who was married to John Pitner. He moved to OK with them, and it is assumed that he died there between 1900 & 1910, 1900 being the last time he was shown in a Federal Census record.
On Oct. 9, 1906, Joel applied for a Confederate pension. During the Civil War, Joel served in the 19th (Biffle's) Tennessee Calvary Regiment. His tale of survival was an intriguing one.
In the matter of Application for Pension by Joel Love - Case # 6257 1 - Sworn before a notary in Columbia, Tennessee, October 9, 1906
Joel Love being true duly sworn says that his horse drowned in Tennessee over on Hood's retreat out of Tennessee in December, 1864. That he had no way of following the command except on foot which he was physically unable to do, as he was with the rear guard.
That he laid out in the bushes, and at night slipped through the advance Federal line, and again hid in the bushes. That by traveling at night, a little at a time, he at length reached his father's place near the head of Blue Buck Creek in the edge of Hickman County.
That he did not return to the army because he had no opportunity and the war soon closed. That he had been previously discharged in August, 1862, and though not able to do full duty and exempt, he enlisted a month or two later and after losing his horse, with no chance of getting another one, and not able to catch up on foot with his own command, the advance of the Federal pickets soon cut him off.
