Surnames: Sampson Davis, Jr. & David Davis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JS.2ADE/699.1.2 Message Board Post: Hi, Wynette, I have just read your info. re: Sampson Davis being David Davis's twin brother. I have, mistakenly, been thinking that Sampson, Jr. was his father!! Glad to get this cleared up. I guess you knew that there was a Sampson, Sr.? I found information one Sunday afternoon in our local library(N.C. Heritage book), about Sampson Davis, Sr.. Seems they came from Bladen County, N.C. around Elizabethtown, then headed to Highland Home via the Federal Road. Rebecca Hester is mentioned, and other info. I went into my Geneology drawer yesterday to read and review this info. Do you have access to any pictures of David Davis, the father of Joel Dawson Davis(my grandfather)? Or his brother, William. My daughter and I found the tombstone of William Davis in the Confederate Cemetery in Newnan, Ga. Hoping to get to Hope Hull in March and usually visit all the family cemeteries. Want to bring my grandsons, Davis and Corey Henry, with me this summer to show them where their ancestors are buried. Any other Davis history will be appreciated. There are lots of Davis's here in Ellijay...and they are listed in the N.C. heritage book. Sincerely, June Davis Handte
