Born: March 1, 1859 - Hancock County, KY

Is this man an ancestor of yours? He abandoned his wife and children about 1907. This is my great grandfather. My grandfather searched his entire life for him. We believe he started another family. If you're part of that family, please contact me. Thanks.

Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.
