Mr. William Gaines is my Great Grandfather.I only know that he was born in slavery approximatly in the mid 1800's somewhere in Kentucky or possibilly in Tennesse. He fathered my Grandmother, Willie Gaines born in 1879. I vaguely recall her telling me that her mother was also born into slavery and the owners names was Hestern (may not be spelled correctly)in Kentucky, in or around Taylor County. Thank You
