Hello list , I am trying to figure out who the mother of Dempsey Moore b 1832 was. In the 1850 Emanuel Co census, she is listed as Epsabah (she has been discussed some on this list before). Something else I noticed is that she and her husband Jesse had a son named Arezaman born about 1838. It has occurred me that Epsabah might be the daughter of Gideon Hayes, who wife is thought by some to have been Susannah Anderson. Since my 2great-grandfather Arelzaman Anderson was a son of Joseph Anderson and Winifred (probably Hayes, Gideon's daughter), this would make a lot of sense to me. Susannah Hayes' children Garry and Hilpiseth are named in guardianship papers in Emanuel Co in 1822, after Gideon's death. I have seen Gideon's daughter listed as Hepzibah, but perhaps it was really Epsabah? Any thoughts? Carol B. Miller

Carol, I am sorry I can't help you with information on Epsabah MNU Moore. However, your query contains a couple of items I hope you can help me and other Anderson researchers with. You wrote some people think Gideon Hayes' wife was Susannah Anderson, and Winifred Anderson's maiden name is probably Hayes, daughter of Gideon. What evidence was used for these conclusions. >From my own research I know the Anderson and Hayes families interacted. However, I have never been able to find hard evidence that proves the above relationships. If you or anyone else on this list can help with these questions, I would greatly appreciation it.

Judith, I don't have any concrete evidence. It is just based on interconnections that I have found in some records - such as - James Marsh, father of Mary Marsh Anderson, being executor for Gideon Hayes' estate, and in postings by other researchers. If you are looking for absolute proof, it is probably gone up in ashes. But maybe not.... who knows what might turn up someday. I think that the use of the name Arezaman here, as in Arezaman Moore, says a lot though.
