| James arrived in Australia on board one of
the last convict ships, the "Adelaide". He was transported for stealing copper pipe. He went on to become a respectable business man living in Eden and Pericoe where he farmed and traded wattle bark. |
All the local Loves are descendants of James and his first 2 wives, Mary Madesson Hite and Ellen. His 3rd wife was Matilda Newlyn, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. F.J. Newlyn of Nethercote who was in her early 30's when he was 66. |
