Need help Jess Cosby in Orphanage in Henderson
I am looking for my grandfather's birth parents.
On his draft registration he said he was born Nov 5, 1888 in Henderson, Kentucky. Name Jess/Jesse/Jessie Cosby...
He said he was in an orphanage and about 6 or 7 yrs old went to a farmer and his wife. His birth year maybe 1886-1889. So he may have been adopted out about 1892- 1895.
I thought I found him in the 1900 census in Vanderburgh Indiana with a John Riese/Reise or Reese, unsure if it is him. Would anyone be willing to lookup records of adoptions at that time and in Henderson Ky. I just can't get past this brickwall.Please Help.. Thank you
