GA. He was the oldest child of Francis and Martha F.(Mann)Moss. This retouched close-up was taken from a composite portrait with his wife, Sarah Ann(Gray)Moss. This image was made from the better perserved of two known portraits by the Chicago Portrait Co.(large, 13" x 19" ovals-date unknown). This one was handed down through the family of his daughter, Elvia Odesia, who married James E. English. These portraits were generally made from existing-or recent-photo images. "Ben" Moss married Sarah Ann Gray January 4, 1872 in Butts Co. Her parents were Allen and Peletiah(O'Neal)Gray. Ben served in the 3rd GA Infantry during the Civil War. The couple is buried in Sardis Baptist Church Cemetery in Henry Co. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
