Adele married first-Allen Chappell Love on 2/11/1846 but within ten years found herself a widow. She and her four babies moved back with her parents to Mount Airy. Two of her children, Isadora Young Love aged 14 & Allen Chappell Love aged 6, died in 1862 of diphtheria. She married secondly Mr. Jesse Lamkin Brown, he for the third time, 9/26/1871 and moved to his home near Uniontown, Perry County, Alabama. In 1883 she returned to VA after the death of Mr. Brown.
She inherited the "Home Place", Mount Airy, and a fertile tract of 400 acres called the "Cane-brake" from her parents. She retained that 400 acres for many years after she sold Mount Airy. The land had valuable timber and it yielded her some income and kept her blood pressure active since she thought the neighbors were stealing some of the trees and converting them into shingles for sale. She had her own cottage on the farm of her daughter, Mrs. Alice L. Young.
Judge C. Sterling Hutcheson, by whom this information is given, her great-grandson, wrote of her: "One time when she was expecting the local minister for dinner she found that the fire had gone out. There were no matches so Grandma laced some cotton lint in the throat of the kitchen fireplace and discharged a loaded shot gun into it in the hopes of igniting the cotton. The result was somewhat disastrous. However, she did manage to get the house cleaned and set a cooked dinner on the table in time for the guest after she borrowed a "chunk" of fire from her sister-in-law, Aunt Callie."
He also wrote the following when he viewed a picture of her taken about the time of her marriage to Mr. Brown : "A study of this photograph reveals some considerable beauty mixed with a haunting wistfulness which was doubtless attributable to the loss of two small children, plus a pessimism for which she was noted in family annals. Anyway, in my books she was a grand lady with a strong will."
After many years, she suffered a stroke and died as her great-grandson carried her to her bed from the porch. (Bio information largely provided by writings by Federal Judge Charles Sterling Hutcheson)
