Hi Kelly,

I stumbled upon this profile while looking through Pennsylvania Unsourced Profiles. I notice that Pennsylvania is listed as a birth place however at this point I have found no source information to ascertain Mr Abshire was ever in Pennsylvania. Would you perhaps have another source to verify the information. The Kansas Vital Record Abstracts would say he was born in Franklin County Virginia. If you need a copy of the abstract I would be willing to email you a copy you can contact me by sending a private message.

Best regards Steve Schmidt Pennsylvania Coordinator
