Supporting documentation may not exist. Errors made in one document may be repeated in other documents. An example of oral history that may be in error is the story that Nathaniel Booth, a Revolutionary War soldier, came from Halifax County, Virginia to Elbert County, Georgia. He did indeed come to Elberton County, Georgia, but no evidence has been found that places him in Halifax County, Virginia Elbert County, Georgia Heritage 1790-1997 Article 7, Booths and Moores Settle in Elbert County Nathaniel Booth was a Revolutionary War soldier who lived in Halifax County, Virginia. After the war he was given a land grant located in Elbert County, Georgia along Broad River. In about 1800, Nathaniel Booth set out for the new land with his wife and fourteen children. Along with the Booths came a young man, Thomas Moore, with a special attraction for one of Nathaniel's daughters, Judy Booth. The trip took several months, during which Judy and Thomas were at each other's side the whole journey. Needless to say, Thomas and Judy were soon married. They built their house near the old Moore Cemetery, which is located in a small grove of trees along highway 72, as it crosses broad River. Thomas and Judy had seven children. The youngest of those children, Joel Washington Moore, married Sarah Anne Hewell. Joel served in the War Between the States. He served as a cook in Company E, 1st Georgia Regiment. Food was scarce at the time. As the story goes, Joel was out with another soldier looking for food, when they came upon a turnip patch. They started filling a sack with turnips and greens, when a man came running up. The soldier with Joel ran away, but Joel stood his ground and explained to the old man, "my men are hungry and I am too. I am not a thief by nature, but I think you too would do what I am doing." The old man told him to help himself. Soon after the war Joel inherited the Hewell family home. Joel didn't move into the home right away though. The community needed a doctor, so Joel agreed to pay the expenses of Dr. Jasper Bryan from Douglas, and allow him to live in the home while he established his practice, just so he would set up his practice here. Joel Moore not only saw to the community's physical health, he also saw to it's spiritual health by becoming a charter member of Antioch Baptist Church. Before Antioch was built they attended Dove's Creek Church, and before Dove's creek Church was built, Joel's family had to ford Broad River in order to attend Millstone Church in Oglethorpe County. Joel Moore owned many slaves. Two slaves in particular, Uncle Sim and Aunt Harriet, lived in a two room cabin near the old home. Every fall they were allowed to pick the remnants of cotton that had been left in the field for their own use. One of Joel Moore's children, James Washington Moore, married Victoria Burden. One of those children, Ela Moore, married James William Ray. They had four children. One of those children, Willena Ray, married Bodie James Jones. They had three children. The youngest of those children, Kim Ray Jones, married Donna Gail Scoggins, and they had five children, Kevin, Jeremy, Misti, Brad, and Kerri.
