Per George Thomas' web site:
James Wade Love
Son of Jonah Love
Born 18 Jan 1828, James W. Love married first Malinda Louvenia Furr. Born 19 Mar 1826, she is the daughter of W. Mathias and Mary Page Furr. The loose estate records for W. Mathias Furr provide a wealth of information. First, Mary's petition for widow's dower right indicates that Mathias had 1,800 acres of land. On 22 Jan 1861, a commission laid off three tracts totaling 372 acres in the vicinity of Flat Rock church. Also, among the many holdings listed in the accounting of Mathias's estate, included is money in the "Charlotte Mint." It appears Mathias either owned a mine or was at least heavily involved in gold mining. On 2 Apr 1860, a notice for final settlement lists all heirs to the estate of W. Mathias Furr. Omiting the name of his wife, James W. Love appears on the list of heirs of W. Mathias Furr. It appears he is listed on behalf of his children and after the death of his wife Melinda Furr Love. The record appears below.
