help with the ancestry of Laird Jackson and his brother Jasper

I am searching for where my grandad Laird (or is it Leard?) originated. My dad Jack (Jackie Junior) told me stories of how the two brothers ran away from home in north carolina and hoboed their way to west va where they met my grandma Lissie Jane Perdue and settled down. Are these just stories or is this really what happened? Please help. Laird died in the fifties i think. Both he and Jasper worked in the coal mines in West Virginia and I am told that they both died of black lung. thanks everybody!
