Can ANYONE out there PLEASE help me and my family.  I 
apologize for the lengthiness but will provide as many details as I can.   We 
are so desperate to find something on grandfather - it is as if he has 
vanished into thin air or never existed - except I know he did - I have a 
marriage certificate and birth certificate to prove it!
			I am looking for death/burial location of Gaither A. 
MOSES or any information leading to his grave site.  Also would like to find 
any living relatives of Gaither A. MOSES  - OR - any living relatives of 
Bessie MOSES COOK and Bynum COOK because they could help me find 
Grandfather's grave.  Pertinent details are:
	*	Gaither A. MOSES, born about 1890 in Burke County, NC
		   Our family does NOT know what the "A" - middle initial 
stands for.
	*	Parents:  David MOSES and Francis HELMS-MOSES(Surname also
		   has been listed as MOSSES) married January 17, 1877 in 
		   Burke County, NC
	*	Believed to have three sisters, Lola and Ruth MOSES and
			Moice J. MOSSES and a brother named Joe (Joseph) MOSES
			who lived in Gastonia, NC
	*	Gaither had a daughter named Cansadie (not sure of spelling - 
it 
		might have stood for "Candace Sadie MOSES" ) and also had 
twins
	*	Lived in the High Shoals or SOUTHSIDE area, NC in a house
		next to his father's house for about eight or nine years 
around
		1928; around that time was when he separated from his first 
wife
	*	Gaither was prone to have severe migraine headaches and 
supposedly
		visited a doctor in Maiden, NC for hair loss (bald spot)
	*	Married Mary Lee MOSES (different MOSES family line) on
		Nov. 12, 1935 - Lincoln County, Lincolnton NC
	*	Believed to have relocated to Bessemer City or Kings Mtn. NC 
		around 1936
	*	Gaither was said to have worked in Shelby, NC in a cotton 
mill (name
		unknown) about 1937-40
	*	Was also said to have lived in Tennessee (area ??) for about 
three
		years around 1931 to 1934
	*	Gaither had relatives in upstate SC (possibly in Simpsonville 
or Abbeville)
		and his sister Lola MOSES owned a farm in South Carolina
	*	Gaither was very, very close friends with a Bessie MOSES COOK
		and Bynum COOK of Bessemer City, NC and possibly lived with 
them
		for awhile.  Bessie MOSES COOK had a son named Lawrence Dean 
JAMES 
		and another son named Allen Gettis JAMES and she had a 
daughter
		named Lillie Mae COOK who married, divorced, then remarried a 
man
		named June COOK (Bynum Cook's brother)
	PLEASE  -  if  you can find ANY information on any of the above MOSES 
 -or-
	COOK families, PLEASE - PLEASE e-mail [email protected]  - OR -
	e-mail [email protected]
		And just so I don't  waste anyone's time), I have already 
tried 
	*	Soc.Sec.Death Index			*	Online Vital 
Records
	*	WD FLOYD cemetery site		*	Ancestry.com (not 
member/
										
also as member)
	*	GenForum.com				*	KnowX.com - 
paid search
	*	Have written Soc.Sec.		*	Have written Bureau 
of Census
	*	Have searched RootsWeb	*	Have been to Register of Deeds
										
various counties
	*	Have been to libraries		*	Some have searched 
FTM CD's for me
	*	Written NC & SC Vital Records and Archives - they have no 
record of his
		death but say it is entirely possible "fell through the 
cracks" and did
		not get reported at the state level like it should have - 
perhaps he
		died in hosp/nursing home w/no relatives  (I hope not!  I hope
		someone was there!)
		I ALREADY FOUND:  GAITHER, Moses - died Monroe, NC 
				THIS ONE IS NOT MY GRANDFATHER
		I ALREADY FOUND:  MOSES, JR., Clyde Gaither  - 
			HAVE ALREADY CHECKED THIS ONE - NOT MY GRANDFATHER!
		I've been to several suspected county register of deeds 
offices and libraries.
I really hope someone out there can help me.
		Kindest regards and ... respectfully submitted...  Carolyn
