I received the following article from 'BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL MEMOIRS' Western Arkansas, published 1891 by Chicago and Nashville: The Southern Publishing Company; Polk county, page 449 "William J. Davis is the clerk of the circuit court of Polk county, Ark, but by birth is a Georgian, born in Dade County, in 1838, to William and Margaret (Cox) Davis, who were born in North Carolina, in 1787 and 1804, respectively, their marriage being consummated in Alabama, from which state they afterward moved to Georgia,where Mr. Davis died in 1852. His widow survived him until 1873, when she too passed away, her death occurring in Dallas, Ark,. she as well as her husband being a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. The maternal grandfather, Richard Cox, was a North Carolinian, who moved to Georgia, and died at his grandsons' home, a brother of the subject of this sketch, in 1848, having been a farmer throughout life, a Revolutionary soldier, and a member of the A.F. and A. M. He was of Scotch descent, was well to do, and reared a large family of children. William Davis, the father of William J., was married twice, and had ten children by his first wife and four by his last. His son, William J., being next to the youngest by his last wife. He was reared on a farm with the advantages of a good schooling, but upon the death of his father, he left school and began to farm for himself. In 1857, he left Dade County, GA and came to Polk county, Ark., where he was married in 1861 to Miss belle, daughter of John b. and Sarah Vaught, both of whom were born in No AL and in 1857 came to Arkansas, the death of the father occurring in Montgomery county, in 1881, and that of the mother in 1885. Mrs.. Davis was born in Alabama, and died in 1868 leaving three children, two of whom are living. His second marriage took place in 1874 and was to Miss Alice, daughter of Thomas and Mary Pate, the former born in Alabama and the latter in Connecticut; their marriage being celebrated in Texas. Mrs. Davis was born in Texas and has born Mr. Davis five children, all of whom are living. In July, 1861, Mr. Davis joined Co. K, 24th AR infantry, in AR and was in all thee engagements in which that army participated, being in the Georgia campaigns in the battles of Franklin, Nashville and down to Mobile, aL. He was wounded several times, but not severely until lthe last fight at Bentonville, NC when he lost his left arm and right hand. He way captured four times, but made his escape each time with the exception of the time he was captured at Arkansas Post on December 31 1862. when he was improoisoned at Camp Chase, Ohio and at Fort Delawaaare. At the end of about six mos. he was exchanged at City, Point, Va.

Paul, this answers my question when I asked you a few minutes ago if you saw this email.... I didn't think about Carl being a great-grandchild of Sophia's and Jim's. I thinking of someone else. I don't have Carl's email address and don't know if he subscribes to this message board. Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul R.L.

Donna, Jim Avans is buried in Brown Gap Cemetery next to Sophia Avans. There are no dates on his tombstone but the dates on Sophia's are Apr 9, 1868 - June 22, 1924. It was my understanding that he died before she did but I may be wrong on this. Charles W. Mason (1872 - 1935) and his wife, Zelma L. Mason (1896-1943) are also buried in Brown Gap Cemetery which I'm sure you know. There is a granddaughter (or gr-granddaughter) who still lives here in the county. However, her telephone number is non-published. A couple of people are researching Jehu Bostain. I think he was in Henry Co GA before coming to Dade Co.

Sue: An addition to my last message. You are correct the Bostains came from Henry Co. to Dade. Jehu Bostain married Francis Morgan, daughter of Wm. and Nancy Morgan in Henry Co. Paul

Sue, Thanks for the info. I saw a listing for a James W. Avans in the 1870 census,son of Francis M. Avans, but knew this couldn't be the right one as he was 7 years old in this census. That would have meant he was born about 1863 and Charles was born in 1872 - so must have been another Jim Avans.

Beverly: Jim Avans did not die before Sophie. He married twice after she died. I had seen the name Isabelle before. Don't know when he died but several of his great grandchildren remembered him. Carl Smith is a great grandchild of Sophie and Jim but I am not sure if he knows the names of the second and third wives.

I'm searching for information about the father of Charles W. Mason b. 1872 in Cole City. He was the son of Isabel Bostain Mason, daughter of Jehu Bostain and Frances Morgan. Charles Mason's death certificate says his father was a man by the name of Jim Avans. Does anybody have any info on Jim Avans? Thanks, Donna Wright

The children of Richard M. Tittle and Harriett Morgan were R. L., R. M., Goldie, Edith, Willie (female) and Alma. I do not have more information on this line of Tittles. If anyone does, I would appreciate the information. My great-grandmother, Ellen Tittle Steele, was a sister of Richard.
