Birth:\u00a01795
Chester County
South Carolina, USA<\/p>

Death: Jul. 25, 1871
Maury County
Tennessee, USA
Edom\u00a0 C. Love was born about 1795 in Chester County, SC and was the father of fifteen children. His first marriage was to Anne Strickland our ggg…grandmother, and they had seven children, who were: Sabra( our gg..grandmother), Virginia Jane, John “Bailey,” Edom, Wilson David, Elizabeth Ann, and Esther Adeline.<\/p>

Anne died about 1837 and was buried in the Old Love Cemetery located on the Robert Morrow place in Hampshire, Maury Co., TN. After her death, Edom married Celia Ramsey, the widow of his younger brother, Nathan. Edom\u00a0 and Celia had eight children, who were: Nathan, Henry, William, Sarah Ann, Eli, Andrew Jackson, James Houston, & Celia Alice Artemsia.<\/p>

Edom was mustered into the service of the United States at Fayetteville, TN, on Jan. 28, 1814, in the war with the Creek Indians in AL and was to serve a period of three months as a private. His company was commanded by Captain Andrew McCarty of the first TN militia, under the command of Col. Richard Napier.<\/p>

Sometime between April 10th-15th, his company began marching from Fayetteville to Fort Strauther (spelling?) and on to Fort Williams and Fort Jackson in the AL territory. The weather was cold and rainy. Enroute to Fort Jackson the company stopped to camp, and Edom’s duty was to stand guard. By then the weather had turned very cold and had started snowing. After many hours of duty, he was frost bitten in the left arm from the elbow down, that part of his arm that had been exposed while carrying and supporting his gun. As a result he wasn’t able to perform his duties.<\/p>

On December 1849, Edom filed an affidavit for the purposes of obtaining a pension for which he believed he was entitled under legislation. He gave his age as 55 and his residence as Maury Co., TN. He said he had not applied for or received Bounty Land.<\/p>

He was awarded a pension of $6 a week and received his last payment on Mar. 4, 1861, because he was suspected of supporting the Confederacy. On August 15, 1866, he filed an Application for Restoration to the Pension Rolls. In this affidavit he gave his age as 72 and stated his only means of subsistence was derived from the labor of his family on his small farm. He declared he had not borne arms against the Government of the United States or encouraged the Rebels or manifested a sympathy with their cause. Two witness for him swore that he had been loyal to the United States Government and had also signed an Oath of Allegiance to the United States.<\/p>

Edom died on July 25, 1871, and was buried beside his first wife, Anne Strickland. His youngest child, Celia Alice, was only five at the time. On May 11, 1878, Celia filed a claim for his service pension. She was 65 years old and still living in Maury Co.<\/p>

In another document, on Feb. 24, 1879, she stated she had made a diligent search for a record of her marriage in the County Court of Maury Co. and no record could be found. She said the only two witnesses who were present at her marriage were dead. The best evidence she could furnish was the family record of the birth of her children, but most of the pages in her Bible had fallen to pieces and only a few of the pages were left. She listed the names of their children and birth dates. All were living except Nathan and William. Also the best evidence she could furnish of her living with Edom was the testimony of her two neighbors<\/p>

The neighbors, George Kennedy (age 77) and Andrew Crawford (aged 64), who lived about eight miles from Edom and Celia, provided an affidavit on her behalf. They stated they had known Edom well during his life time. He and Celia had lived together as man and wife and were so regarded by all who knew them until his death. Celia had not remarried. They read the record, showing the names and births of her children, and were satisfied from their acquaintance with her children that this was true. No record has been found to indicate if Celia ever received a pension. She was buried on the other side of Edom, but the date of her death is unknown.<\/p>

Edom’s grave stone, placed in the center of the burial plot, was furnished by the government for his duty in the War of 1812.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
