Vickie,

Do you think this article is speaking of Leslie Mack? I'm wondering if my ggg-uncle was a blacksmith.

Tom -

Sorry but the article didn't list Mr. Mack's first name. I am very careful to type the articles exactly as they were printed, as I'm of the belief that history shouldn't be altered, for better or worse. This has caused a fair amount of frustration to many modern readers! Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.
