His father's name may have been Jack, Samuel, James or John. Sam's father when he placing Sam and his brother John and Sister Anna/Annie at the Children's Home in Tippoecanoe Indiana used the surnames Baltimore, Balser, Lewis and Moore to name a few. Through DNA testing we have learned that Sam's real last name was Lewis. My husband has matched men in the Lewis DNA project located at Family Tree DNA. Sam's brother John was born in 1886 and he died in a gun accident on March 5, 1901. Annie or Anna was born 1882 and admitted to the Children's Home in 1893. She was sent to Reform School in 1894. If she did get married she married a Simmons. Sam went by Baltimore because that is the first name his father gave to the Children's Home. His brother and sister may have gone by the same last names as Samuel "Sam". If anyone has information on this family, please email me at jmdgenealogy AT yahoo.com. I would love to hear from you.
