He was my great-grandpa. Can anyone find his birth and death date? I looked on Ancestry.com. I could not find him. I think he may have died in the early 50's.
Family rumer is he killed his dad in self defence. So there may be court records on him. He was very young when they said it happened, they say he was 8 or 9 years old.

over at genforum in the Lawless area, I pulled 94 hits for Kentucky, and seems like much of them would be from Russell co, Ky. The above article can be plunked in your "I know this will come in handy" file.

it would appear these are the parents for Harvey. Standard disclaimer, back it up with the documentation.
