All Articles submitted for publkatidn must be signed ^ by the author FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1946 PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION 'nie Myrtle Beach newspaper has come forth with % sp4endid suggestion fm* any city or town, name ly the organization of a Property Owners association. A l^operty Owners association is an associated group of residents who own property in the communi ty. Its purpose is to cooperate with town authorities in promoting the interests of the property owner. Dues in the organization would be nominal. The unit would study^all questions related to the protection and en hancement of property values—-questions such as zon ing and building restrictions, equable taxation, public parks, highway improvement#, public service facilities . and many other important questions in whidh the prop erty owner should have a vital interest. Camden has a number of community groups, the members of which are vitally interested in civic and welfare purposes. All these groups, the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary club. Junior Chamber of Com merce, Kiwanis club. Lions club, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Garden club and many others all are basically inspired by their faitih in Cam den and a desire to play an important part in its de velopment. The Chronicle believes that a Property Owners association would be a fine thing for Camden. We be lieve the suggestion should have serious consideration. In the words of the Myrtle Beach writer, such an organization could play an important role not alone in safe-guarding the investment of the property own er, but also in easing the duties of the town authori ties in cooperating ^th them in determining and re flecting the best interests of the community. I FAMILY SEEKS DOCun)CNT— (ContlnuMi from first pace) family sattled in the Waxhaws and are mentioned specifically by Mc- Crady in his ‘History of South Carolina Before the Revolution’ as one of the families, who with the Calhouns, Caldwells, Brattons and other leading settlers ‘spread them selves’ all over the ‘New Acquisi tion’. “George Howe records that a Presbyterian minister named Mc- Aden journeyed to the ‘up country’ from Charleston and preached at the Waxhaws, and at the home of James Love on Broad river. This was In 17S6. Two years before that, 1711, James Love received from the Crown a grant of three hundred acres of land in Craven county, now in Kershaw, and later a further grant of two hundred acres on Hanging Rook Creek. “In 17ft James Love 11, son of the pioneer, received a grant of 660 acres on Granny’s Quarter creek, from the state as bounty for services during the' Revolutlpn. In 1764 he died, Margaret was his widow. MAIDEN NAME 18 UNKNOWN “Margaret Love, maiden name still unkown, but which we hope to discover through the medium of the Bible she bequeathed to her daughter, Mary Love Campbell, was a woman of between thirty and for ty years of age at the time of her husband’s death. She made her will in 1761 and this will was pro bated October 19, 1831. Hence she lived as a widow for a correspond ing length of time, for she was alive in 1880 and living with only a female slave as a companion. “The United States census for South* Carolina and particularly Kershaw county in 1830, shows that Nathan Campbell, son-in-law of Margaret Love, was living, a man of between 50 and 60 years of age, but as the oldest female in his household was between 16 and 20 It Is a reasonable assumption that Mary Love, his wife, had died, and did not receive the bequest made by her mother, Margaret, who was alive until the next year. 1881. The fact that Mary did not live to re ceive the bequest was not de veloped until after the advertise ment had been prepared an^ sent to the Camden Chronicle. '' McKAIN FAMILY MENTIONED “Margaret Love had another daughter, Margaret, who married John McKain, also three sons. John. Robert W., and James. John was co-executor with his brothers, of his mother’s estate. Some of the McKains still live in the county but I do not know very much about them. I am most familiar with the descendants of my great-grandfath er, John, who had a son, Robert Barkley, who had a son, Hugh Barkley, who was my father. To my knowl^ge there are no Loves— none that bear the name left in Kershaw county, but the descend ants of John Love in the county, through other lines, are legion. “John Love married Sally . Mc Dowell, His brother, James, mar ried Sally’s 8is.ter, Martha. Johp and Sally had sons, John James, Samuel and Robert Barkley. It is Impossible to give the entire gene alogy and I am sore you would not want it, but I will say that the Smyrls of Flint Hill, Oscar, Henry, Mrs. Shaw. Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Creed, Mrs. Fred Ogbum, are de scended through their mother from John Love and through their grand mother. from his uncle, Robert W. And briefly, the family connection, through intermarriage with other Kershaw families, is very large and I may say. influential. RELATED TO SMYRLS “Oscar and Henry Smyrl are my first cousins. Willis Sheom’s moth er was my father’s first cousin. The late Dr. Will ‘Clybum was closely related to my father. Some of the Truesdales are related. Mrs. George Truesdale being my fath er’s first cousin. Announcement...

At least the last of our branch. We are winding up where James Love began nearly 200 years ago. “Prior to coming, to South Caro lina the history of my family is that of the Scotch dissenters who fled percnsation in Scotland in the years 1604-12, lived for a time In the north of Ireland and finally finding permanent refuge in the wilds of the new county, America. They settled first in Pennsylvania, later moved to Augusta county, Virginia, where they remained for a short period and then made their way to the Waxhaws ^and from there spread out-all over the pres ent counties of York, Lancaster, Fairfield and Kershaw. In the Colonial period while most of this area was part of North Carolina land grants amounting to over 10,000 acres were made to various members of the pioneer band of Loves. “In Pennsylvania the family was one of the most prominent in York county. Alexander Love later moved to York county in South Carolina. He was the first coroner of the Pennsylvania York county in 1751. This same Alexander was a rep resentative from the New Acquisi tion in the South Carolina general assembly in 1776 and for many years afterwards. It is recorded that he used his influence to have the names of York. Lancaster and Chester bestowed upon our present upland counties in memory of the counties in Pennsylvania from whence the Scotch-Iiish settlers of the region came. Newberry county possibly was named for the town ship of the same name in York county, Penn." ' I year," saM Mrs. Granger Konssay. “we are helping to build a vast na tional organisation of LOOO.OOO members for service to the country and to the war veteran.’’ “These are critical times when such an organisatlpn of womefi deVoted to American Ideals of free dom is greatly needed. The disabled veterans and dependent families of veterans need our organized aid. Women who worked so lo)rally dur ing the war will find in the auxil iary an opportunity to continue their patriotic service side by side with the American Legion. If your husband, father, brother are mem bers of the Legion this is a per sonal Invitation to you to help in this worthy cause.’’ LYTTLETON STREET George K.

Major Brails ford, reported when he returned from the important 1946 convention of the National Red Cross at Phila delphia. many recommended organi- zatlpnal changes which would give the chapters greater power, were discussed.' A new release now from National Chairman Basil O’Connor announces that the 1947 convention will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, and, that the organizations present gov erning body the central committee, has already adopted recommenda tions offered and will recommend them to congress as revisions of the 40 year old Red Cross charter. Some of the recommended changes were made by an advisory committee as necessary in the light .of the tre mendous growth in membership and services to the people since 1906, the date of the present congres sional charter. Some of the most significant changes that will give more power to the chapters are: 1. A national governing board of 60 members, 30 drawn from the chapters as compared with present 18 members. 6 from the chapter. 2.

The followtiig Isttw has been re ceived by the Kershaw county Red Cross, from Southeastern area.
