Thank you for jumping on this, but believe it or not I found him and all his ancestors all the way back to slavery. Found the slaveowner too.

Oddest thing was that I was on another site and something popped up out of the blue. Went back and forth with that person and she connected me with a grand niece of the person I was searching for. Spent all day talking to her.

Too bizarre for words. I had just about given up on this line and out of the blue and unrelated to anything I'm doing a family search pops up the perfect contact. If anyone else has any information I'm happily accept, but I hit the motherload today...

Peace to you all.
