Researching the Benjamin F. MOSELEY family from Heard County, Ga. Benjamin married Frances Permelia WALKER. I have information on Frances' parents but have nothing on Benjamin's. Census records indicate that the MOSELEY'S and WALKER'S came from SC. Benjamin and Frances MOSELEY show up on Heard County Census in 1850 where they remained and raised several children. I come down the line from their son, John Lynn MOSELEY who married Josie BRITTAIN (BRITTON) then their son Arthur Glen MOSLEY who married Laura R. POPPHAN.
