He was born in Darke Co, Ohio in 1861, Married my Great Grandmother in Dec of 1883, and abandoned her and a newborn son within the year. In 1887 he married a Melissa Biedners in Jay County Indiana. I have his unusual signature on Marriage Certificates, an Inheritance document, and their divorce papers. At that points he cannot be found on any census or any public record. Can anyone give me a hint where this man went? Was he lynched as a horse thief in Ranolph Co? He traveled through the county several times enroute from Darke Co to jay Co.
