Hi Jerry,
  Yes, remember you! just didn't reconize the email :-)

Johnnie did a great job with her Rees and Mary Shelby book..but even it has 
had to be updated as new info comes along! Just have not been able to tie 
your Abraham to a known Shelby.

That monument to Rees is simply a DAR marker, put there in the late 1950s 
[I think] Rees is not buried there.

Good to hear from you!
