We are seeking information about the parents and siblings of Amanda Ann Hooten, b. 13 Nov. 1833 (probably GA), d. 5, Sept, 1882.

Amanda Ann married Elittle Hickerson Watson, b. July 4, 1827, d. 24 Jan. 1896. Elittle served as a private in Company D, 2nd GA Calvary during the War for Southern Independence.

They were in Conyers Co., Ga when their daughter, Mary Elizabeth Watson (Ormes) was bron.

Both Elittle and Amanda are buried at County Line Cemetery, in Harrison County, Texas.

We know little about Amanda's family. We do know that Amanda and Elittle named their first (and only son) Crosby Watson. Their daughter, Mary Elizabeth and her husband Andrew Jackson Ormes, named one of their sons Crosby Ormes.

There were over 400 Watson men who served the Confederacy from Georgia. However, only 13 Hooten men from GA are listed in the National Parks Service Confederate Soliders database. One of the soldiers from Ga is Crosby Hooten, Confederate solider, Infantry, 19th Regiment, Georgia Infantry.
