George didn't serve in the Revolutionary War. He and Isabella did not arrive here from Ireland until 1791. (Documentation does exist, however, that his son George Jr. served in the War of 1812. George Jr. is buried right next to his Father.) George Love was born 1748 in Tyrone County, Ireland, and died 23 April 1824 in New Athens, Ohio. He married Mary Isabella Smith. George and his wife came to New York with George's sister Nancy and her husband Benjamin Anderson along with each couples respective children. George and Mary had eight children, all born in Ireland. Seven children traveled to America : John, George, Thomas, William, Mary, Catherine and Jane. It's assumed that the remaining daughter died in Ireland.
From New York they traveled to Washington County, Pennsylvania. Benjamin and Nancy bought a farm of two different tracts near Washington, Pa. totalling 100 acres on Brush Run at the Southwest corner of Hopewell Township for 75 pounds cash on January 8, 1791. The land was procured from the government by Edward Anderson, possible a cousin. Records show there were Loves and Andersons in Washington, Pa. prior to 1790.
In 1800 George and Isabella moved to Belmont Co. Oh. where they bought a farm of 160 acres, two miles south of Shepherdstown, Oh. George possessed a mild temperament but was determined when necessary. He was often called the peacemaker among his own kind. A Presbyterian and successful farmer, his wife was a Seceder of a very strict religious belief.
