According to the draft document, my grandfather also had another wife and child we knew nothing about. His birthday on this form is different so maybe the wife and child is fictitious. My grandfather told me about France in WW I including training with the French, and tearfully described having to stay and clean up after the war ended.
I cannot find the name or number of the Black regiment in France that he was in. Is there a site with this info? The 1910 census suggests his mother was Mariel Spriggs b.1860, brother Kattie Carter b. 1880. Very interested in tracking the WW I stuff if possible.
