Hi, This sure smells like a MOORE from down around Burke, Jefferson and Emanuel County, GA. Was Brother MOORE from that area of GA? Did he ever live up around Oxford, GA? I know there was a MOORE family around my DANIEL family of that area but do not know who they were. However, I know that Mark was a name around some of the bunch who were collateral with my bunch down there. The CANNONS and MOORES are long time Methodist names in GA. John R.
