This is the second part of the "Family Stewardship" presentation I presented at a small family Chapel  in Eastern North Carolina. In this portion I am reading from an excerpt of a very distant cousin of mine from my Paternal Maternal line the Hamilton's. 

     The man I refer to is not my Great grandpa but rather the Great grandpa of the woman who wrote the excerpt. Moses Hamilton is the man referred to in part of the presentation. He was the nephew of my 3rd Great grandfather George Hamilton who fought in the civil war gaining farm land in Hancock County Georgia.

       The theme here is dual delving into both Entrepreneurial Spirit and the Spirit of Stewardship and it's importance to  Ancestors at the turn of the 20th century. Moses Hamilton was a member of the group of my Ancestors who were "homesteaders" i.e. they left southwest Georgia for a "new world" in Texas and traveled there in Covered Wagons.

       My grandmother Georgia Frank Clayton Gordon whose mother was Mattie Hamilton spoke of her "people" leaving for the West in Covered Wagons  for a new life and new dreams.
