Smith – Manlove Bible Records – These records were in the Bible belonging to the family of John and Susan (Cecil) Manlove, early settlers near Andover, Kansas. They came to Kansas from Schuyler Co., Ill. The Smith line was the maternal line of John Manlove who was born in North Carolina, and who on his way from there to Illinois met Susan Cecil in Kentucky and brought her to Illinois and on to Kansas. Other families from Hancock, McDonough and Schuyler Counties in Illinois came to Andover and settled there in the 1870’s. Relatives remained and to this day are found in the Illinois area as well as the Andover-Wichita area.
