Charles, My files show that Mary Ella was the daughter of James Vincent Rees (b. May 24, 1845 Ga and d. Jan 13, 1919 Warrenton, Warren Co., GA )and Mamie Pounds. James Vincent Rees was the son of Vincent Rees and Susan Short and Vincent Rees was the son of Hugh Rees and Elizabeth Newsom There are several Hugh Rees so it would take some studying to figure out which one for the letters. I will go through my files, I think I have some land records and what not for James Vincent and Vincent also I think I have a copy of Vincent and Susan's marriage cert. Be glad to share all I have. Feel free to email me direct, petctr@aol.com
