During the War of 1812, General William Carroll, en route to New Orleans, marched his Tennessee Militia through Pike County, crossed the Bogue Chitto River north of Holmesville, and camped along Love's Creek. While returning from New Orleans by the same route, one of his men became ill, died, and was buried near the Love's Creek campsite. By order of the United States War Department, the soldier's remains were disinterred and reburied in Chalmette National Cemetery in October 1908.
