He is my dead-end. I have not been able to find anything except that I finally did get his wife's name on Joe's second marriage certificate. On documents for Joe, he listed his father's birthplace as Ireland, Kentucky, and Alabama. On the marriage certificate for Joe to his second wife, he lists his father's name as Kentucky Rice and his mother as Mary Gladen or Gladson or Gladsen. It is hard to read.
