I am searching for the birth parents of Robert Edward Shouse born in Bath Co in 1893.
This is my husbands gr father. The family had always been told that Roberts mother had shot someone & spent some time in prison ..which is where we thought He had been born.
We have found evidence that there was a young girl by the name of Lizzy Thompson , who was with child & unmarried that was arrested for the murder of Meg Purvis in Oct 1892. She had a baby born in either March or May of 1893....However, the Mt Sterling & Maysville Papers report that the baby was a girl.
So we r not sure if the sex of the child was mistakenly listed as a girl. (???)
We had been told that Henry Coleman Tincher may have been the father....but can find no proof....With the exception that Robert or some1 in the immed family held on to a newspaper clipping about George "Stribby" Tincher was involved in some bank robberies & sentenced to death in the 1940 's.

Robert Edward 1st shows up on the 1900 census, as the child of Squire & Margaret Shouse in the
White Sulfur area of the county. This couple was in their 40 s , having been married for 20+ yrs without children.....So it is reasonable to assume that they adopted Him.
We have looked for family connection between the Thompson, Tincher, & Shouse Family, but have not found any.
Does any1 have any knowledge of this.....Or does any1 have any suggestions on where to go for additional info?
