Susan, would he have "hatched" in or about Harrison or Daviess County Missouri? I sent emails out last weekend after a FerretSearch and got some replies about Missouri. What was your gg's name? I know the feeling. Mine just "appeared" in Missouri in 1814. Personally, I believe my g.g.grandfather was hatched out of an egg, in the middle of Missouri, with no one there to see it &, of course, no parents.
