My name is Jack Usher. I live in Birmingham, Al. I am 64 years old and was born in St. Louis, MO. I don't know much about my great grandfather other than his being referred to as a little black-eyed Irishman. My grandfather, Lorenzo D. Usher was born close to Cook Station, MO., October 5, 1867. He was one of three boys, he the oldest, middle brother, Grant, youngest named John. Lorenzo and Grant married and eventually moved to central Illinois-Springfield. John was the most colorful running moonshine so the story goes. He lived on an Indian reservation for awhile in Oklahoma drifted some. Married a girl 50 years his junior.
