In Search of David Love

In 1797, David Love of Virginia became the guardian of young Martin Turpin. Before the end of the next year, the Love family migrated to Knox County, Tennessee taking Martin with them. About 1803, Martin met Elizabeth Russell, the woman he would marry. Shortly after the death of David's father in 1804, he moved his family on to Maury County, leaving Martin in Knox County. Martin married Elizabeth in 1805.

In this video presentation, Randy and Miranda Turpin explore three Maury County sites that are significant to David Love's story: the Maury County courthouse, the site of Love's Mill and David Love's gravesite.
