TO ALL READERS: My name is Michael Law and I have posted here before. Since my last post I have found out additional information. Let me re-hash my history. I have done extensive research on my paternal surname; however, most recently I just discovered that the man listed on my birth certificate Tallie W. Law, Jr was not my father. I was always told that he was sent to prison while my mother was 8 months pregnant. It was not until I researched the Ohio Penn Prison Roster did I discover that he was in prison before I was conceived and not released until after I was born. My mother and him never re-united again. I finally, had the courage to ask my mother who was my father. She told me today and said she was greatly relieved to divulge this secret she kept for almost 42 years. I was born July 8, 1957 in Columbus, Ohio. I would have been conceived probably somewhere around October, November, or December 1956. My mother was about 26 years old in 1957. She said my father was SAM CRAWFORD. She is not sure how much older he was than her. At first she said he was 15 years her senior thus he would have probably been born around 1916, but again she is not sure now??? Sam was living with his sister (BERTHA ARNOLD) and brother-in-law (CLARENCE W. ARNOLD), and nephew (Ronnie) on Deckenball Street in Columbus, Ohio. Sam was a bartender at the Neil House in Columbus, Ohio, again in 1956. The last time my mother seen Sam was when I was about 3 years old. Again some basic facts Father's Name: Sam Crawford Sam's Sister's Married Name: Bertha ARNOLD Sam's Brother-in-Law: Clarence W. ARNOLD Time: 1956-1957 Location: Columbus, OH Employed @ Neil House as a bartender Lived on Deckenball Street May have been born between 1915-1930 Please E-Mail me... THanks Mike Law
