Janice, I'd be interested in finding out more about your Davis family in Tallapoosa Co. Do you know where they originated? I have a Temperance M. Davis, b. 1812 in Georgia, who married Henry Tanton/Taunton in 1828 in Montgomery Co., AL. They settled in Tallapoosa Co. by 1850, and lived there the rest of their lives. According to their family Bible, Temperance was the daughter of Vincent Davis and Izora Tanton/Taunton, so Temperance and her husband were cousins in one way or another. Vincent Davis is found in Washington Co., GA in 1820 with 3 females under 10 and 1 male under 10; unfortunately, I don't know the names of any of the other children besides Temperance, and I can't find any other info on Vincent Davis. Since Temperance married in AL at age 16, I assume she moved there with her parents, but I can't find any record of Vincent Davis in AL. Perhaps Vincent died shortly after the 1820 census, Izora remarried, and Temperance moved to AL with her mother and unknown step-father? Anyway, I was wondering if you might recognize any of these Davises, or if you think they might tie together somehow.

Frances Davis in 1858 Tallapoosa Co, Ala? They moved to Upshur County, Texas by 1900. This Davis family must be related to my Davis family that lived in Tallapoosa Co, Ala. cause my Davis family members were witnesses to the Davis-Moon documents. in the 1850s.
