Searching for information on my great-grandfather, John E. Esque. Little information is known about him. His birthdate was November 5, 1870 and according to the 1930 census he was born "at Sea" coming from France. It also lists both his parents as French. Rumor has it during his early life he lived in West Virginia, but in 1930 he lived in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. He lived there the rest of his life. He died on March 9, 1964. He never spoke of his time in WV.
ETA: The 1940 census lists him as being in Pennsylvania and I just received his Social Security Application. It states he was born in Fayette County, WV (yup, 3 birthplaces). It also says his parents were J.E. Esque and Sarah Morris Esque, but I can't find any info on them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
