John Love was extensively known, having kept a tavern for more than thirty years about one mile south of Sinclairville (Red Bird). In the strength of manhood very few could surpass him, and he very much delighted in the "manly sport" of defending himself with his fist and his own strong arm. In the early days of the settlement of this county, this kind of amusement was considered not only right - but honorable.
It is related that Love with in the habit of going up frequently to Major Sinclair's (at Sinclairville), and accosting him in this manner: "Good morning, Major. I have a little leisure and I have come up to whip you, if you have time to attend to it." Whereupon the Major would tell him, unless his business was very pressing, that he would see whether it could be done in the course of two or three hours. When business and matters of the day were properly completed about the premises, these two gentlemen would step on the green and let each other understand what he knew in this line of diversion. A bloody nose or a blackened eye were a thing allowable. John Love was about five feet, ten inches in height, square built, large light blue eyes, regular features and would weigh fully 270 pounds.
