H.B.A. is my Great-great-great. Great Grandpa hales was really cool but he never mentioned much about H.B.A. just riding over the fences to get a Dr. for his Dad in a snow storm the drifts were so high. I guess Jesse had Divititiculitus and died from it. H.B.A. was a Union soldier and found a mule who's reins were caught in a tree. He had a horse shot out from underneath him so he climbed on that mule and rodeo to safety. Keep in touch I guess we're cousins. I'm a really good writer and poet.
