Esther Calhoun Love's tombstone shown in the video is located in the historic Piney Fork Cemetery, located about 5 mines east of Marion, KY on S. R. 506. There are other members of the Love family buried there also.

So, how does so many secrets get told, to so many? Supposedly before aland had time of sorts? I truly apologize, for thoughts of insincerity, but I have found Kentucky's record keeping isn't the most factual guide you should follow

[@mikejustice2281]

My name is Tim, on my friends page,born and raised in eastern KY, my own family's will is the greatest hell I'm still going through! No matter what I've experienced, the life of a masonesqe family, who done a savings grace for a community lost in the depths of hell.... Anyways to have the banks turn so quickly, on 2nd son of a lost and unmanaged

👏👏👏👏 So well done you guys. I'm from Muhlenberg Co. and I descend from Revolutionary stock of VA, NC, and SC. Several branches of my family have been in KY since 1790 and others getting here in the early 1800s. It is absolutely fascinating to understand what their lives were like at this time as well as in the colonial period. The names include the Martin's, Campbell's, Woodson's, Reynold's, Young's, Dennis's, Craig's, Jones', Oate's, Guy's, Wilcox's, Harper's, Vincent's, Wood's, Underwood's, Bell's, etc.... I am obsessed with gathering and understanding everything I can about them, and I spend an unhealthy amount of time digging through everything I can find to further my knowledge.

Fascinating. What a treat to watch this.

The early Love village or community store was located in Western Knox county TN. The road was later changed to Luvall road and Luvall Knoxville district.

[@KentuckyHistoricalSociety]

How cool!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarastrevinsky7388]

Surprising how many they killed all overconsidering modes of transportation back then.

[@empressfran75]

That is the same thing I was thinking. Most people barely had a horse. Seem like the Harps had a spaceship given the time.

[@CoalRoller95]

I'm from Indiana and I'm a direct dependent of the Harpe Brothers. My mother was a Harpe and my grandfather and great grandfather were Harpe's.

[@KentuckyHistoricalSociety]

WOW!!! Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoyed this episode.

[@teresaabram4768]

William Love's wife is.a relation of mine through the Calhouns.

[@empressfran75]

This was a very informative show that will aid in my research. The last name Noble, Moore, and Love are ringing some bells. Moorish.. Titles of Nobility. Seems as if She may be a Moor. Like the Moors of Spain that were removed from Spain in 1492.

[@KentuckyHistoricalSociety]

Let us know if you find a connection.

[@pogo9876]

Not trying to burst your bubble. But the surnames "Love", "Nobel" and "Moore" are really common surnames. "Moore" especially. The surname "Moore" has nothing to do with the moors of Iberia.The name developed independently of that....Just stating facts.

Moses Stegall is my ancestor

[@KentuckyHistoricalSociety]

That is awesome! Hope you enjoyed the episode. Our first episode of season 2 drops on Wednesday.

[@brandonstegall1544]

[@michaelpaul9208]

[@ladijoseph5762]

[@CoalRoller95]

Every one has some horrible person(s) in their ancestry.....

[@starblazer64]

They were Horrific men. I just watched a very good documentary on these Harpes on Criggly's channel and was directed here afterward. They got what they had coming. But even that wasn't enough!

[@Mr_badjoke]

there's not always fantastic amazing story. Put it this way.... If everybody that claims they went to Woodstock ..was actually at Woodstock it would have been millions of people

[@ClaireCopeland-n6y]

Why is everyone on a history forum comment section someone famous descendant? As for me I am 7th great grandaughter of Thomas Jefferson and Jane Austen....Not😂😂😂
