John and Sarah Love lived on Muddy Creek in Anson-Surry-Stokes Co. from 1768 until 1789 when they purchased 100 acres on Paw Creek in Mecklenburg.
The earliest record we have of them is a 1768 tax record when they were on Muddy Creek in Anson-Surry-Stokes county, I have occasional tax records of them there through 1784.In 1789 I show him to buy 100 on Paw Creek in Mecklenburg Co.In that same year I see a record of son Samuel marrying Elizabeth Nation.[Ted Kaufman, research]
