Jo,
My main problem is finding the name of his parents.When I read the book this wasn't mentioned.I know when he was orphaned, he went to his Uncle Tom in MO. That's as far back as I've been able to reach. I will be searching the census for 1850 and 1860 in Ohio County VA this coming weekend.
I say Virginia because at the time of his birth and as he was leaving for his uncle, the counties take make up W. Va hadn't split off yet.
