Josh, Gus Mobley Abbott was born in dooly county Ga March 12,1906 To Francis Marion Abbott born Aug 14,1861 Crawford county Ga and Lucy Jane Adams born in Texas December 6,1860.The story has always been told that grandma lucy was full blooded cherokee and she is listed on the dawes rolls in cairo ga. I have a photogragh of grandma lucy and uncle will which is gus's brother. I also Have a photograph of Gus's brother Alfred foundly known as uncle Alf who was killed by dan christmas in the street downtown vienna Ga.Grandma Lucy and FM Abbott are buried at liberty Cemetery in dooly county Ga so is uncle will.Cuthbert Abbott and sarah Veal are the parents of FM Abbott. William adams was listed as the father of Lucy Jane Adams on her death certificate but her mother was not listed.I started reseaching the family when granny got sick and I have alot of information. Gus Mobley Married Louise Lockerman March 1936 in dooly county Ga. Gus Abbott is buried in Mars Hill batist church cemetery located off of high way 27 in dooly county Ga Beside him is Aunt Irene which is your dad's twin sister also William Waynewright Abbott who was killed in an accidental shooting ,and Jesse Abbot a blue baby born dead. I know this because I researched this information so that I can fulfill a promise I made to granny on her death bed . Granny always felt bad about her children laying in that cemetery without anything marking their graves and I promised her I would see to it that those children had one and I will. I am also going to put a slab on grandaddy's grave as he is not marked but I know where his grave is located because granny showed me . I hope This helps you as i know I was always curious when I was a child But I have went to the gravesites and it gave me a sense of peace knowing where my family was and that I had found them.
