"Love Flowers, born in 1790, lived to be eighty-four years old, and died in 1874; he married twice; his first wife was Elizabeth Brown; there were two sons by this marriage, William and John.
...
Love Flowers' first wife dying, he married Martha Baxley, a daughter of Barny Baxley; by this marriage he had twenty-two children, all of whom died in infancy, except James J., Henry, Williamson, Barny, A. Love, Bennett, Nathan,. Joel, Elly, Everett, Samuel S., Lucy Ann and Rachel. It seems that thirteen of the twenty-two were raised.
...

...
Old Love Flowers, a patriarch, had eleven sons in the war, including the two by his first wife, William and John; all his sons went to the war, except Everett and Samuel S.-the two latter were too young. Few men contributed so many to the lost cause."
