Ginger,

I am just getting caught up on some e-mails. I been trying to figure out 
exactly what your looking for. Manerva Hooper can be found in the 1880 Towns 
County Census living with her siblings and mother, Caroline. The head of 
house is listed as John Trusty. James Garrett was also known as "Little Jim" 
and can be found living with his parents in the 1880 Towns County, census, 
age 17. I found a William Greyson Garrett, son of James M Garrett, that lived 
in Towns County. William Greyson Garrett is James G Garrett's first cousin. 
Since they were both born abt 1863, they were probably good friends and grew 
up together. I could not find anything that proved James' name was also 
Greyson but it looks very likely, since Greyson was used by other close 
family members.  I do not show any children for Minerva and James. Can you 
send me the information you have on Minerva Hooper and James G Garrett?
BTW..I have a picture of Minerva's sister, Sarah Florida Hooper, married the 
Tanner. She is buried near here in Banks County, Georgia. I do not have your 
e-mail address or would send this to you directly. I got your note from a 
posting that Richard sent you on the Garretts and assume your assigned to the 
list. .

Ron Hooper
