I am sorting, throwing away and filing piles tonight. One if the pieces of paper mentioned that the Joseph M. Toomey Collection of loose Wilkes County records had been restored and was available at the Georgia Archives free web site: the Virtual Vault. Wonder if there is anything of interest? Wrightsboro would have been in Wilkes County until Warren County was carved out in 1793. This site might be worth exploring at another date to see if there are other things of interest.
Very exciting! There is a document on which Mordecai Moore's signature appears:
Mordecai died the next year....however he was still alive in 1790 and I feel sure that this is MY Mordecai!
This can be viewed at:

There are several more pages that deal with the court case. I did not read them tonight. But I wanted to be sure to mark the information for future use.
