    Notes:

    NOTE 1./ e-mail from Ray Houston of Sylvester Georgia on 2-1-2005 <>

    My Grandmother, as you will see on my tree, was Rosabella "Rausey" Moree. She was the wife of John Edward Houston, I. Her parents were James Harrison Moree and Leanna Melton Moree. Both of my Great Grand Parents were born in Twiggs County, Georgia.

    The Andrew Moree that you speak of from the Georgia Gray Books was the brother of James Harrison Moree. They had another brother named Henry Moree who was also with the 59th Ga. and he was killed on 13 July 1862 in Virginia. Green B. Moree was also killed in Virginia during the War; however, I'm not certain if he was a brother

    All four of my Great Grand Dads fought for that Noble Cause of Southern Independence. Many uncles and cousins, as you know, sacrificed all they had for freedom, against a tyrannical, centralized federal government. Nobler ashes than theirs will never be sheltered by the sod of any land. They give me great Southern pride and it is your family also. Please forgive me if I sound facetious; however, Sir, you have adopted and married into a family with priceless Southern Heritage.

    When James Harrison returned home in 1865, he and my Great Grandmother had another child and they named him Henry. My Moree Great Grandparents are buried at Salem Church
    in Worth County on Jewell Crowe Road, named after Garland's dad and my uncle Judge Jewell Crowe.

    My Grand Children are 7th generation Worth Countians. Also, you said you have a restaurant in Cordele. My 4th Great Grand Dad was Benjamin Stewart Hamilton, Revolutionary Soldier. His plantation took in the city limits of what is now Cordele, Georgia.

    Wow! What a wonderful Novel you sent to me concerning my family history. You already have a wealth of information and I truly appreciate your sharing it with my wife Ginger and myself. Ginger and I are both retired and have much time to research. We both enjoy our family genealogy very much.

    Please stay in contact, as I am, your obedient Confederate servant,

    Ray
