As far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't have the prepend, I automatically delete it as a protection from spam.

>I would love to know the names of his parents and siblings and possible may have narrowed it down to a handful of possible matches. His 1880 census records (the only census records I can find for him) state that his parents were born in VA also -a possible lead? John's 2nd wife, though not the mother of his son Charles, was Mary Ellen Young. John died in 1884 from complications of a civil war injury.
