Daniel Love was born to Jake Love (1812-1863) and Unknown (~1824 - ????) most likely in Phelps or Pulaski County, Missouri. His father was white, his mother was black, and both Daniel and his mother were slaves on his father's farm.
According Daniel's son, Benjamin Leroy "Roy" Love (1890-1994), Daniel was freed by his father's widow, Eliza Jane (Miller) Light after Jake's death in 1863.
Roy said that Daniel drove a mule team during the American Civil War. There are two records of black men named Daniel Love who enlisted during the Civil War, so it is possible that he served in either C Company, of the 9th Heavy Artillery, U.S. Colored Troops or I Company, of the 12th Heavy Artillery, U.S. Colored Troops.
Roy also said that Daniel came to Leavenworth with a man named Edward Burton who served in A Company, of the 83rd Infantry, U.S. Colored Troops. It is possible that Daniel left Jake Love's plantation and was a camp follower of the 83rd Infantry, which would have marched past his home in Rolla to go to Arkansas and then again on the way back to Fort Leavenworth. In any case, Daniel moved to Kickapoo Township, Leavenworth County, Kansas after the war ended and first shows up on the 1870 U.S. Census working as a farm laborer for Alonzo H. Jennison.
On October 16, 1876, Daniel was married to Tressa (Brady) Love (1854 - 1930) in Leavenworth, Kansas by Justice of the Peace George O. Sharp. Daniel and Tressa had 11 children: Arthur James Love (1874 - ?); William H. Love (1878 - ?); Perry Love (1878 - ?); Lulu, Lula, Lettie, or Lucella E. Love (1880 - ); Bertie or Betty S. Love (1885 - ?); Sadie Love (1883 - ?); George A. Love (1884 - ?); Oscar James Love (1886 - ); Daniel L. Love (1888 - ); Benjamin Leroy "Roy" Love (1890 - 1994); and Claude Daniel Love (1901 - 1978).
Daniel spent the rest of his life working as a farm laborer in and around Leavenworth, Kansas. He passed away in 1928 and was buried in Kickapoo Memorial Cemetery, in Kickapoo Kansas.
