George Love and Anne Jermaine

Mackinnon Tartan and Crest

    Family tradition passed down, says that the Love family Originally came from Inverness Scotland, and way back when, did some favour for the King of England. Consequently, he granted them some land in Southern Ireland. Evidently this land was an "Entailment" i.e. it was to be passed down to the eldest son, and our ancestor was not the eldest son, but one of the younger sons.
    The Scottish part of this story is most likely true, since Loves in Scotland, are a member of the Scottish Clan Mackinnon. They are descended from Fingon, grandson of Gregor, son of Kenneth MacAlpin, King of the Scots.
    To add more weight to the English side of the family story, this makes sense as well, since our Love family remained firmly in the Church of England when they were in Ireland. Anne Jermaine's name is of English origin as well. This name is variously spelled Jermyn, German, Germaine.
    George Love Sr. was born in 1809 in Ireland and died in 1889 in Ontario. His wife Anne Jermaine was born in Ireland as well, in 1812, and died in 1896 in Ontario. They are both buried in the Egmondville United Church Cemetery in Tuckersmith, Huron County Ontario. (OCFA HU-3253, L100)
