Phineas T. B. 'Peter' 'Barney' Love was born to James A Love and Lizzie [Elizabeth] Stice in Burr Oak, Michigan on 14 Nov 1875. James Love's occupation was listed as "Showman". James married Ida Mixer Dec. 22, 1883 in Burr Oak.
Both Peter and his brother, Charles E Love, assumed the name of stepfather Francis Marion Whitlock.
Regarding name change submitted for Peter Whitlock. Birth name per Michigan Births at LDS website shows Phineas even though the 1880 census shows him as Peter.

I think his full name was Phineas T Barnum Love named after showman P T Barnum; thus nicknamed 'Barney.' His mother had been a circus 'fat lady.' - Find A Grave contributor Cheryl Dahl
