Steve - I am a Cooley descendant and also my maiden name wasWaters. The Waters line has been a real problem. I can trace my great grandfather and his siblings back to 1870 GA but apparently they were orphaned shorly before that. They were living with others, one of which was a Sarah Waters Moore (aunt?). I know who Sarah's father was but I cannot prove the relationship with Sarah. I even made a trip to Worth and Dooly Co but found that the court houses had been burned at one time or another. Any ideas?
