I have lost the name of someone who was doing current research on the STOREY family. I have a book about the Family Storey that was written in the 1950's. I come from The John Thompson Storey. John Thompson Storey of Chattooga Co, GA was born in 1796 at Spartanburg, S.C. for some years he was a member of the GA legislature. He was a Col. of the militia, serving in the numerous indian wars. He moved to Gonzales Co. TX, near Monthalia, in 1844 and saw service in the Mexican war. He died on 11 nov 1858. Lucy McLESTER, his wife, was the Dau of John McLester and Araminta GRAY, the latter being of the Gray family of England. (Someone needs to check a primary source for this.) Lucy was born at Buncombe Co, N.C. on 25 sept 1797 and died at lockhart, Texas on 15 aug 1874. Richard Lawson Storey was the only one who came back to Georgia. Richard was born in Jackson Co, GA, 1 Feb 1823. He moved to Texas with his parents in 1844, but returned to GA shortly thereafter--the only child of this branch to return to GA. He served as secretary to the gov of GA, before Richard Lawson. Anthony Storey was born in 1746, five years before his father moved to Fairforest, S.C. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

My great, great, grandfather lived and died in the Gonzales area. His name was Ausmus E. KNOWLES, and he is buried in a small cemetery on private land just outside the city of Gonzales. My father took me there years ago, but has since passed away, so I'm not sure of where the cemetery is, but I remember it's located off a farm road north of Gonzales. If you know of this cemetery please let me know. Thanks, Jody Knowles
