After researching him for quite some time, I found that she had told many lies about Joe. He had left, but had written letters to his Uncle John in Lexington, including one telling his Uncle to sell his corn and pay the doctor for his son's birth. Joe went to Missouri to his brother's home and stayed there for a short time, before returning to Lexington, N.C. He remarried and after she died he lived in High Point, N.C. When he was too ill to take care of himself, his granddaughter, Joy Belle took him into her home until he passed away. After much research, I found out the reason that he left his first wife.
