Are they all from the Clay County, Talladega County areas? I am searching for the parents of Polly Kelley (b. 1855) m. John R. Holmes and Parazids Kelley (b. 1850) m. James E. Holmes. James and John are brothers and the sons of Rev. Isiah Holmes. Both of their wives were from Clay County and they all lived and died in Clay County. My Holmes were origanally from Coosa County, AL. and migrated up to Talladega and Clay Counties. I also have a Davis from Clay County. Lou Rainey Davis b. 7/17/1865 Coleta, Clay County, AL. She was the daughter of John W. Davis and Catherine Russell. Other children of John W. and Catherine Davis were: Thomas b. 1857, Martha Jane b. 1867, William E. b. 1869, Ella C. b. 1874, John H. b. 1875 and James E. b. 1879. Does any this fit with anything that you have.
