THE VIDALIA ADVANCE - October 16, 1980
DAR'S MARK GRAVE OF REV. SOLDIER (edited)

William Brantley Mosley, a soldier of the American Revoltionary War, and ancestor of many prominent Georgia families was honored this month by members of the Vidalia Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) who marked his grave with a wreath.

The life of Mosley was recalled and reviewed for members by a Mosley descendant, and noted genealogist, J.E. "Bo" Mosley, of Atlanta. He gave many interesting facts about his forefather who was born in South Carolina in 1755, but moved to a part of Montgomery County, now Toombs, in 1804, and remained here until his death in 1852.

Following the meeting, which was held at the North Thompson Baptist Church, DAR members and guests followed a route marked by American flags to the cemetery and grave of Mosley. There an honor guard and members of the Children of the American Revolution (CAR), under the guidance of Frank Pruett, helped salute the patriot.

Honor guard members were: Lynn Thompson, Vidalia, drummer, and Ailey Boy Scouts, John Roller and Charles Robeson, Color Guard. Following a 21-gun salute by members of the Toombs County National Guard, Kevin Robeson, Vidalia, played Taps, and CAR member, Susan Salter, placed a wreath on the grave.

J.E. "Bo" Mosley, a prominent genealogist, was the speaker for the occasion, and reviewed the life of his ancestor.
