Amos was born in Belmont Co., Ohio on 21 Jan 1829. I have no record of his parents or siblings, do you possibly know anywhere I might go to find out anything about him. I remember my parents throwing away all of his letters when I was a child, so I never had a chance to read them. James E. Purcell Diane Purcell [log in to unmask]
