The rumor goes that my Great Grandfather Charles Augustus Halleck was born at sea. His parents may have been Charles and Alice Halleck. Supposedly from England but I have found in Census records he has listed his parents as being from Northern Ireland. LDS has a spcific birthdate that came from an obit that I have but since finding this I have found two other birth years. I have the following birth dates 3-31-1871, 1869 and Jan 1974 coming from oral history from my Grandmother his daughter. He married Viola Bunch "Aunt Bunch" Simpson. The rumors go his mother died and his father placed him in an orphanage in New York or the father remarried died and the stepmother placed him in orphanage . He supposedly had other siblings. One was old enough to go to Virginia and he sent for his siblings and they ran away from New York and went to Virginia. Probably Clifton Forge/Covington VA area. Some of them were Railroad people. Would love to find some of his siblings descents that might have more information.
