               + 38.       ii.    JOHN LOVE (8343) was born in 1708 in Ardmore Townland, Donaghedy Parish, Tyrone, Ireland.

  He married ELIZABETH (--?--) (117365).

  JOHN (8343) died between 1794 and 1806 in Crew Townland, Ardstraw Parish, Tyrone, Ireland, at an unknown age.

                     40.       iv.    MARGARET LOVE (8424). MARGARET (8424) was born circa 1714 in Ardmore Townland, Donaghedy, Tyrone, Ireland. She married ALEXANDER LOVE (8425) at an unknown date. MARGARET (8424) died at an unknown date at an unknown age.

     ALEXANDER LOVE (8425). ALEXANDER (8425) died at an unknown date at an unknown age.

34. ROBERT⁷ LOVE (8340) (ROBERT⁶, WILLIAM⁵, JHONE⁴ LUIFE, JOHANNUS³, JOHANNUS² LUF, NIGELLUS¹). ROBERT (8340) was born before 24 December 1655 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland. He was baptized on 24 December 1655 in Derry Cathedral, Derry, Ireland. He married CATHERINE GRANGER (8261) at an unknown date. ROBERT (8340) died 1684 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland, at an unknown age.

ROBERT LOVE (8340) is the SUPPOSED son of ROBERT LOVE and AGNES MATTHEWS.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

     There is no documented proof that this ROBERT LOVE is the son of ROBERT LOVE who was a merchant in Strabane in 1655. We are only going on circumstantial evidence and probabilities.

     We know from the Derry Cathedral Register that ROBERT LOVE, merchant in Strabane, had a son ROBERT baptized on 24 December 1655. The baby was illegitimate and the mother was AGNES MATHEWS.

     The next mention of a ROBERT LOVE is in the Administrative Papers of Derry Diocese. In Coolmaghery Townland CATHERINE GRANGER, widow of ROBERT LOVE, is applying to administer the estate on behalf of her 5 minor children whose names are no shown. Incidently this is the oldest Administrative Record for Derry Diocese which has survived.

     I believe it is safe to name three of those children but again there is NO PROOF. If there was enough money in the estate it could have been the source of getting the boys started with leases for land when they were old enough.

     DAVID LOVE died in Tamnaclare in 1744 as shown in the Consistorial Will Index by Phillimore, made in 1912 before most of the Wills were destroyed in the 1922 fire in Dublin. If he was a minor in 1684 he would have been old enough to get a lease by 1705 but unfortunately I haven't located any Abercorn Lease Maps that early.

     There is a lease deed issued on 25 July 1727 to JOHN LOVE by ROBERT LOWRY for 31 years in Magheramason. Here again there is NO PROOF but the time frame is correct and Coolmaghery and Magheramason are very close Donaghedy Parish.

     The third child I have assigned is ANN LOVE. There is a marriage record showing ANN LOVE of Donaghedy Parish marrying WILLIAM KELLY of Ballykelly in 1714.

     The other two children not named in the Administrative Papers have not appeared in any records in that time frame.

     Children of ROBERT⁷ LOVE (8340) and CATHERINE GRANGER (8261) were as follows:

                     41.         i.    UNKNOWN⁸ LOVE (61605).

               + 42.       ii.    DAVID LOVE (8341) DAVID (8341) was born circa 1677 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland. He married UNKNOWN (--?--) (57096) at an unknown date.

               + 43.      iii.    WILLIAM LOVE (117356) was born circa 1680 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland.

  He married UNKNOWN (--?--) (117367).

                     44.       iv.    JOHN LOVE (119970) was born in 1682 in Camus Parish, Strabane, Tyrone, Ireland.

    JOHN LOVE (119970) was the supposed son of Robert Love and Catherine Granger.

       There is a lease deed issued on 25 July 1727 to JOHN LOVE by ROBERT LOWRY for 31 years in Magheramason. Here again there is NO PROOF but the time frame is correct and Coolmaghery and Magheramason are very close to Donaghedy Parish.

                     45.         v.    ANN LOVE (8344). ANN (8344) was born circa 1683 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland. She married WILLIAM KELLY (8345) 1714 in Ballykelly Townland, Donaghedy Parish, Tyrone, Ireland. ANN (8344) died at an unknown date at an unknown age.

     WILLIAM KELLY (8345). WILLIAM (8345) died at an unknown date at an unknown age.

35. JOHN⁷ LOVE (8250) (ROBERT⁶, WILLIAM⁵, JHONE⁴ LUIFE, JOHANNUS³, JOHANNUS² LUF, NIGELLUS¹). JOHN (8250) was born circa 1656 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland. He married PHINUEL LECKY (8794) at an unknown date in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland. JOHN (8250) died 1737 in Strabane, Camus, Tyrone, Ireland, at an unknown age.

JOHN LOVE (8250) is the SUPPOSED son of ROBERT LOVE.

     There is no documented proof that JOHN LOVE is the son of ROBERT LOVE. Circumstantial evidence and timing make it very probable. We have proof that ROBERT LOVE was a merchant in Strabane in 1655. We also have proof that JOHN LOVE was a merchant in Strabane in 1693. I think JOHN LOVE would have been too young to be a son of the original WILLIAM LOVE.

     The only proof of a LOVE who came with the "Plantation" is WILLIAM LOVE who was granted his Denization (Citizenship) papers from King James I in 1616. Copy of this record is in my files.

I have shown the main references about the "Plantation" in the biographical notes of WILLIAM. Here under JOHN LOVE who is so firmly placed in Strabane I will record a history of Strabane.

     He is shown as a Merchant in Strabane in 1693. The record of this is in a booklet printed in Scotland. Copy of this is in my files. Also shown in PRONI file T808/9445. Copy in my files.

JOHN LOVE served on a Chancery Inquisition Jury in STRABANE on 16 August 1693. He was shown as a resident of Strabane. Copy in my files of article by Rev. David Stewart in volume 11 of Familia Publication in 1995. Also shown in PRONI file T808/9445. Copy in my files.

     In July 2000 Teena Trook of Coquitlam, B.C. sent me an article by Reverend Alexander Lecky which was published in 1908. He lists the elders and commissioners of the Laggan Presbytery between the years 1673 and 1700 and he lists both William and John Love in this time period. If William was an elder or commissioner before 1700 he must have been older than I had previously thought. I now believe he must have been born circa 1679 which makes him the oldest of John Love's children. He is the supposed father of "our" John Love who came to America in 1774.

       In 2006, by the miracle of internet, I was contacted by Mr. Jeff Homes of Glen Rock, Pennsylvania, He had been directed to my website because of the mention of Strabane in Northern Ireland. His ancestor was the Rev. William Holmes, first Pastor of the First Presbyterian Meeting House in Strabane, County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1693. Our JOHN LOVE was an elder and Trustee in that congregation for the entire time Rev. William Holmes was Pastor. Jeff Homes kindly sent me the following excerpt from Rev. Alexander Lecky's book on Laggan Presbytrery which he found at the State Library of PA. on p.47.

   "...on the 25th of June 1700, Mr. Love, an elder from Strabane, reported to the Presbytery that "they had taken pains about augmenting of their minister's maintenance, & that they intend hereafter to pay Mr. Homes #35 yearly while the present subscribers live, but when any dies, they fear this quota be diminished, yet hope even then to discharge what was formerly furnished. With this account the meeting is well satisfied, & the Session & Town of Strabane are commended for their diligence, but it is recommended to the country part of that congregation to give yearly some corn."

      An interesting thought in connection with the above Rev. Alexander Lecky, is that his interest in this time era in Strabane may have been that his ancestors were from the same family as Phinuel Lecky who was John Love's wife.

     In 1700 JAMES HAMILTON, the Earl of Abercorn tried to stimulate the weaving trade. He held a fair in Strabane in which weavers and spinners could compete for prizes. There is no mention that JOHN LOVE competed but as a merchant of the Town of Strabane he is shown as being in attendance and probably was one of the judges. This is shown in LDS film # 0247314 which details the various charters and deeds of the Hamilton Families.

      JOHN LOVE and JOHN WILSON were executors for the will of William Maxwell dated 9 April 1709. This is taken from the Exchequer Bill dated 9 November 1727 and a copy is in my files. Administrative Papers are file PRONI T 808/9445.

     In 1712 he is shown on a deed from George McGee to JOHN LOVE (and 6 others) for a lot in Strabane for a new Presbyterian Meeting House. It appears they were Elders taking the property over on behalf of the church. A copy of this deed is in my files taken from Irish Deeds Volume 10 page 161 deed # 3309. It is also shown in PRONI Administrative Papers file T 808/9.

At the Quarter Sessions held for the County of Tyrone the 10^th day of October 1712.

James Montrray, Charles Eccles, Thomas Parker, D. C. Law

     JOHN LOVE was one of the executors for the will of JOHN FENTON dated 8 August 1721 registered 24 September 1723. John Fenton was a farmer in the Holm of Ballycolman, Urney Parish. He was probably a neighbour of JOHN LOVE as this is the area where JOHN LOVE lived.

JOHN LOVE as elder along with Rev. Samuel Halliday, the minister, represented the Strabane Presbytery Church at the Presbyterian General Synod Meeting held in Londonderry on 10 June 1722. This is shown in the Records of General Synod of Ulster 1721-1777 Volume 2 page 24. This was printed in Belfast in 1890 and is held by the Presbyterian Historical Society in Belfast. Copies are in my files.

     Again JOHN LOVE as representative elder, attended the Synod Meeting held in Dungannon on 21 June 1726. At this meeting he was "fixt as a Committee Member". This also comes from the same records as above but on page 110.

     The Exchequer Bills of 1727 show that John Love became a lessee along with William Moore, John Orr, John Anderson and others of lands at Killstrule, Ardstraw Parish. He married ISABEL ALEXANDER. Some of these lessees later sold their leases in Killstrule and emigrated to America. However JOHN and Isabel must have stayed as he died in 1747 leaving sons Robert and John. The above is important information as it clearly shows the trend developing in the early 1700s to take up leases in Ardstraw by descendants of those Loves who had been established in Strabane.

     Finally he attended one more General Synod Meeting as representative elder. This time he was with a new minister for Strabane, Rev. Victor Ferguson. The meeting was held in Dungannon on 18 June 1728. shown in the same Synod records but on page 126. Copy is in my files.

     JOHN LOVE's will is shown in the Phillimore Will Index taken in 1912 before the fires in Dublin in 1922. It is dated 1737 at Strabane but I have been unable to locate either an original of the will or an abstract.

     There is a Deed dated 9 November 1737 and registered 21 June 1740 where JOHN LOVE, son of the deceased JOHN LOVE, sold property to William White. Deed # 69127 Volume 97 page 452. This shows that JOHN LOVE, the son, was a merchant in Bristol, England. It also describes the property where JOHN LOVE lived. It was on the south side of the Mourne River in Ballycolman. It was actually in the Holm of Ballycolman. HOLM means the low lying land along a river which is prone to flooding. So this may have been right on the Mourne River but I believe more probably it was back from the river as the river is not mentioned in the property description. The property must have been quite substantial as it was 36 feet by 60 feet. There was a dwelling house as well as a brew house and stable. The deed also shows that JOHN Maxwell was a neighbour. Above I showed where JOHN LOVE was an executor of the William Maxwell will.

     This deed also covers 2 properties in the Town of Strabane which obviously was where JOHN LOVE did his business whatever that was. One "tenement" (building) was between Front Street and extending down to the River Mourne. The fronting on the street was 36 feet. On one side was HUGH BROWN and on the other side was CLAUD SCOT. The exact lot has not been identified but with only about 500 people in Strabane including women and children the merchant section could not have been very large. My guess is that his building would be in the two block section opposite where Castle Street runs into Front Street. If I am correct there is a photograph in my files showing this section.

     The other property shown in the deed had a 60 foot frontage . I believe it is on Church Street where Castle Place extends across Market Street and Butcher Street. In those days it was known as Strabane Cross which is how it is referred to in the deed. I don't know which side of the street. The description in the deed says JOHN KNOX was on one side of his building and RICHARD CLARKE on the other. It extended back to a "garden possessed by HENRY NOBLE ". It also said it was on the "way which led to the Well known as the Holy Well". This Well is about 2 blocks further up Church Street. This was on the Sinclair Estates which were called Holy Hill Estate. This was still in possession of the Sinclair family in the 1700s as JOHN SINCLAIR was the Estate Agent for the Earl of Abercorn. His letters concerning the LOVES in Donaghedy were always written from Holy Hill.

     A final portion of the deed discussed above is the mention of the original deed for these properties to JOHN LOVE. It states the properties were granted to JOHN LOVE by GEORGE HAMILTON, Knight, in 1676. It was actually a lease which they called "FUEFARM". The annual rent was 1 pound, 16 shillings, 8 pence sterling. This complete Deed is in my files.

     There was some sort of claim in 1688 and it appears that JOHN LOVE's interest was in the rights of his wife by a deed dated 30 April 1676 and another deed which has been lost. This sounds like the same deed as mentioned above.

     A Chancery Bill 14 November 1688 states JOHN LOVE's wife was named PHINUEL. Her surname must have been LECKY as this same Bill states JOHN LOVE was a brother-in-law of JAMES LECKY of Glasgow and Strabane.

       In the source material you will find listed a manuscript by William DeLoss Love who was researching in Ireland in 1908 and in Scotland in 1888. He was able to see those LOVE wills which are no longer available as they were destroyed in the fires in Dublin in 1922. He quotes "other data that indicates JOHN LOVE of Strabane had sons ROBERT and WILLIAM who were of Ardstraw and who left descendants".

     I would gather from where JOHN LOVE lived, the two business establishments, his prominence as elder of the church and his involvement on the Chancery Jury, he was a substantial citizen of the community. When my daughter Carole and I visited Strabane we located the site of the Presbyterian Meeting House beside the Mourne River. The street which is an extension of Main Street is actually named Meeting House Street. There is nothing but a parking lot there now because the Meeting House, which was the second one built, was destroyed by fire in 1938. The present Meeting House is on Derry Road. We called on the minister who was kind enough to give us a book on the history of the church which is in my library. In my files are photos of the location on the banks of the Mourne River and beside the stone arched bridge.

     Strabane is located at the confluence of the Foyle, Mourne and Finn Rivers. The Foyle runs north and meets the sea at Derry which is about 14 miles from Strabane. The Foyle is also the dividing boundary between County Tyrone and County Donegal. As Donegal voted for Independence in 1922 it is part of the Republic of Ireland whereas Tyrone is in Northern Ireland. Thus the Foyle River is actually an International Boundary. During the times of "the troubles" there were road blocks and guard towers but these have now been removed and you are not stopped at the border.

     The name of Strabane is derived from the Irish "An Strath Ban" which translated is "The Fair Holm". Legends say that in the 8th century during the Golden Age of Irish Christianity, a monastery was founded here by one of the St. Colmans who had come from the nearby Sperrin Mountains. This is probably true as in 1991 two boats hollowed out of logs were found in the mud of the Mourne River near Strabane which have been dated to the 5th Century.

A branch of the Cineal Eoghain clan known as Cineal Moain were occupying the territory in 1160. When the O'Neill clan secured their position as kingship of Cineal Eoghain they took possession of the area in the early 1300s. and a small hamlet was formed. It consisted of a castle, friary and a stockade. The Third Order of Franciscans had established the friary in 1326.

     The O'Neill Clan controlled what is now County Tyrone and the O'Donnell Clan controlled what is now County Donegal so the Foyle River was the boundary between their lands. They spent much time raiding each other's territory mainly to steal cattle which was the sign of wealth and prestige. Thus Strabane on the east side and held by the O'Neills and Lifford on the west side held by the O'Donnells became the focal point for many raids during the 1400s and 1500s. A book in my library entitled "By the Banks of the Mourne" by Michael Kennedy, relates the detailed history of the many battles.

       In 1569 Turlough Luineach O'Neill married Agnes Campbell from Kintyre in Scotland. He regularly kept a force of Scottish mercenaries from the Scots Highlands to help him fight the O'Donnells. They were known as "Gallowglas." In 1573 O'Neill erected a castle at Strabane but destroyed it himself only a year later to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Earl of Essex. The English had sent an army to subdue the constantly warring Irish. Peace was restored in 1575 and the castle rebuilt. However Strabane was razed again in 1583 during the fighting between the O"Donnell and O'Neill clans. Despite this setback Turlough O'Neill was strong enough to recover and once again rebuilt the castle. It would be destroyed still again in 1598 but this time by his son Art Og when he rebelled after his father died and when he was trying to get possession of the lands around Strabane.

     That brings us up to the time of the "Plantation of Ulster" by King James I starting in 1610. Before we leave JOHN LOVE we should take note of some of the chaotic times he lived through in Strabane. In 1630 a Muster of Arms was taken and it showed 208 men with arms who could muster 140 swords, 53 snaphances, 45 pikes, 10 callivers, 4 muskets, 2 halberts and 5 bandoliers. 68 men showed no arms at all.

     In 1641 Phelim O"Neill and Rory O'Moor revolted against the English who they saw as suppressors. They attacked the castle at Strabane and using cannon and artillery reduced it to ruins once again. It was an easy job to burn the wooden houses and many of the people fled across the river to Lifford for protection. One strange outcome was that Phelim O'Neill carried off the Countess of Strabane, Lady Jean Gordon and then married her. The town was rebuilt and was occupied by the Lagan Forces which was the Parliamentarian army under Stewart of Newtownstewart.

     The castle was once again rebuilt but in a strange location. It was in the lower part of town near the river (where Woolworth's is now located). A strange location because this land was subject to flooding. In 1682 there was a major flood with much loss of life and many houses washed away.

     In 1688 Strabane was caught in the middle of the English War of the three Kings. It was at the end of the Republican rule of Oliver Cromwell and the attempt of James II to regain the English throne. The Protestant population garrisoned Strabane against the Catholic forces of James II but the Irish rebels took the castle and held it for James II. He went on to be defeated by William of Orange at the Battle of the Boyne after which. he fled from Ireland. However in departing he burned the church in Newtownstewart and about the same time the castle in Strabane was burned. There is no record of who did this but it was the final end of a castle at Strabane.

     Finally by the end of 1600 peace came to the area and Strabane could settle into trying to develop as a corporate town. However it is remarkable to think that JOHN LOVE and his father ROBERT LOVE survived through all this turmoil and danger
