One last thing I did find which is curious to me as it seems this posting is a possible connection to both the LOVE families of CHESTER and CAMDEN SC, but as I don't research them, I am not sure if this is the meaning or not but note the area of three *** as this pertains to those locations of LOVE families, I believe.This posting was made in 1998 by a Dr. Louis Love and you can see his full posting of all this data on GENFORUM. It appears to me that WILLIAM LOVE is listed with land in both Chester Co. SC and CAMDEN DIST. in SC. but perhaps they aren't related to your LOVE family in CAMDEN ?- Tina
