It states that he was born in Ga in 1836, his father was born in S.C. and his mother in Tenn. His wife was named Eleanor (no last name). Their children were Frances, Joseph and my ggrandmother Alice. In 1880 he was a farmer, by 1890 he was a painter with Witherspoon and Hamilton. Any information would be appriciated, also if any body knows what C.E. stands for that would be a big plus. Thank-you, Lettie
