Gail, thanks for the reply. Very well could be, I know nothing about him. In fact, no one knew his name until several years ago. He fathered (was married to my Great Grandmother) my Grandmother and her brother. He apparently left suddenly and stayed away long enough for my Great Grandmother to divorce him for desertion. She later married Alley Gross.....Any more information you could supply would so very greatly be appreciated. Thanks again - Peggy
