It's possible he wasn't born in Fayette County but grew up there. If your John Henry was "foreign born", do you know where that was ? Do you know who John Henry's parents were ? If either of us could trace our people back one more generation, we might be able to figure out if they were connected. So far, I've hit a stone wall, so it's certainly possible that they were 1st generation immigrants. mel slane
