Origins of Jack Boyd Bristol (1912-1946)

Hello all.

I am looking for any information on my great grandfather, Jack Boyd Bristol. Here is what I have so far:

He was born around 1912 in Georgetown, South Carolina. The story goes he was left on someone's doorstep as an infant during the great depression (no birth certificate), and no one in my family can identify who the biological or adoptive parents are. He apparently chose the name, Jack Boyd Bristol after growing up a bit in his new home.

Later he married my great grandmother, Essie Mitchell, in Jonesboro, North Carolina. They had two children, Jack and Jimmie. Jack Senior and Jimmie were both killed in a motorcycle accident on April 23rd, 1946 in Edgecomb County, North Carolina.

My great grandmother Essie remarried to William Crittenden, and she passed on October 3rd, 1996. William passed 10 years later in December of 2006.

I am looking for any information or direction that might be helpful in determining the true origins of my great grandfather Jack.
