In resuming a decades-long search for my great-grandfather's heritage started by my late mother, I finally have narrowed down his birthplace to Oak Hill, OH. His parents were both born in Wales (1824 and 1842), and he was born in ~1862 in OH. His name was William Jackson Lewis. He had an older sister, Annie Lewis, born in ~1857. I've written away for a copy of his birth certificate to Jackson County Probate Court, but am curious whether there are other options available. Current family in the area? A church? Any historical society? Ultimately, I'm hoping to trace him via his parents back to Wales, but that's proving to be difficult so far.
His father was Joshua, a silversmith. Wm. Jackson moved from Oak Hill area to Gainesville, TX where he married. Then moved on to Bisbee, AZ where he was a boiler maker in the copper mines. He died in Douglas, AZ in 1914.
Thanks for any leads...
