Fieldon LOVE was born about 1808.

Fieldon LOVE was married to Cynthia LANGLEY. Fieldon LOVE and Cynthia
LANGLEY had the following children:

I. Thomas Marion LOVE was born on July 15, 1835 in Shelby Co., Alabama. He
died on June 23, 1905 in Bossier Par., Louisiana. He was buried in Cottage
Grove Cem., Plain Dealing, Bossier Parish, Louisiana.


THOMAS M. LOVE is at present actively engaged in operating a saw-mill, a
grist-mill and a cotton gin in Bossier Parish, three miles northeast of
Plain Dealing, on the Shreveport & Camden road. He has resided here, with
the exception of fifteen years-from 1861 to 1876-since 1857, at which time
he came from Benton County, Ala. He was born in Shelby County, of that
State, July 15, 1835, a son of Fieldon and Cynthia (Langley) Love, who were
born in Abbeville District, S. C., and Shelby County, Ala., respectively.
Fieldon Love removed to Alabama when young, and in that State made his home
until 1868, when he came to Lafayette County, Ark., dying here the same
year, at the age of sixty years. His wife died in Alabama during the war,
being a little younger than her husband. He was a tiller of the soil until
he was elected to the office of sheriff of Calhoun County, Ala., and
discharged his duties in such an efficient manner that he continued to be
re-elected until he had served eleven years; prior to that time he had
served as constable for some time. He was a prominent and popular citizen,
and he and his wife were both honored and respected by all who knew them.
They were members of the Methodist Church and he was a Master Mason, and in
his political views a Democrat. He inherited English blood of his father,
Tyra Love, who was born in South Carolina, and died in Alabama, having been
a soldier in the War of 1812. Thomas M. Love was the fourth of ten
children born to his parents, and was the eldest son in the family. His
youth was spent in his native State, and when a young man he commenced
working as a mechanic, for which calling he had a natural aptitude, and he
soon acquired considerable skill as a blacksmith, wagon maker and house
carpenter. These callings he gave up in May, 1862, to enlist in the
Confederate army, becoming a member of Company B, Twenty-eighth Louisiana
Infantry, commanded by Col. Gray, with which he served until discharged at
Mansfield, this being in May, 1865. He took part in many battles, among
which may be mentioned: Miliken's Bend, Richmond, Simsport, Patterson,
Mansfield, Pleasant Hill, and numerous others of minor importance. He was
never wounded nor taken prisoner, and at the close of the war turned his
attention to farming and the milling business, and in both these capacities
has been remarkable successful. In 1880 he erected a mill on his present
farm, but was so unfortunate as to be burned out in 1884, but nothing
daunted, he immediately rebuilt, and is now conducting affairs on quite an
extensive scale. He is the owner of 200 acres of fertile farming land,
besides some valuable town property in Bossier Parish, also a good farm in
the State of Arkansas. His residence property in Plain Dealing amounts to
twelve lots, on three of which are residences and on one a store. He
expects to remove to this town in a short time, and will erect a store
building on one of his lots. He is the owner of the K. of P. Hall at that
place. The first house in the town was made of lumber sawed at his mill.
He was married in 1855, to Miss Irena Barnett, daughter of Zach and Mary
Barnett, of Calhoun County, Ala., but she died in her native State, in
1857, having borne three children, all of whom are deceased: Fieldon,
Judson and Irena. In 1858 he was married to Miss Jackey Odelia Cochran, a
daughter of Edmon Cochran, who was born in Alabama. To them three children
have been born: Hattie (wife of John Davis, of Texas), Fieldon and Henry.
Samuel, Henry, Judson and Lucius are deceased. Mrs. Love is a member of
the Missionary Baptist Church, and Mr. Love is a Mason, a K. of P. and has
represented both lodges in the Grand Lodge. He is a stanch Democrat in his
political views.
