I don't think were talking about the same George Washington Love. According to a census record in 1850 - Ripley Co., George Washington was age 7 b. IN that would have made his birthdate 1842-43. This census record shows his siblings as Amanda J.age 12 b. IN, Albert L. Age 5 b. IN, Juliet 15 at Samuel Overturf's b. KY. This census record is confussing to me. Let me type this the way I copied it.

1850 Ripley Co. Census

Love James 24 Mar 1840 Kath Myers
married in Ripley Co.

Farmer land worth $800

James Age 52 Farmer Born VA.
Malinda Age 48 Born VA.
Amanda J. Age 12 Born IN
George W. Age 7 Born IN
Albert L. Age 5 Born IN
Juliet 15 at Samuel Overturf's Born KY

1870 Ripley Co. Census

Love George W. Age 28 Born IN
(Mary Emeline)Emma Age 27
John Age 8 Born IN
Thos Age 5 Born IN
(Edgar) Edward Age 3 Born IN
Dead before Census Judson W. 17 Born IN
died June

This is how it's confussing me.
It shows James married to Kath Myers 1840.

It doesn't show Kath further down the census, it shows a Malinda. Was Malinda a sister to one of them? Was Malinda the wife to James and not Kath? Looking at the birh date of Amanda, she would have been born before the marriage date of James & Kath. Who is Juliet? Is Juliet & Amanda the children of James and a previous marriage or maybe children of Malinda, whoever Malinda is. I'm confussed, I hope someone can set me straight on this Love family.
