    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: crmarkham Surnames: Mitchell, Murphy, Rush, Davis, Parrott, Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.georgia.counties.fayette/816.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The original poster of this message thread is my aunt. {Hi Aunt Ellie!} We are looking for the families of Casper Franklin Davis b. Nov 1879 in Fayette Co. GA, son of Marcellous Nimrod Davis and Catherine Louisa Parrot. Casper married Mary "Molly" Murphy, b.Sep 1880 in Fayette Co. GA, daughter of Charlotte Mitchell and William Taylor Murphy. Casper and Molly Davis are the parents of Bessie Lucille Davis Rush, b. 1913. Her siblings: Molly Jewell, Horace Franklin, and Johnny Raymond Davis. Bessie married Charles Edward Rush Sr. 14 Feb 1932 in Douglasville GA. These are my grandparents, and Ellie's parents. Casper Davis' siblings are Will, Texas (a sister), James, John, & Ella. We have very little information on William Taylor Murphy who married Charlotte Mitchell. Charlotte died before 1888, and William T. then married her younger sister Lurana Mitchell. Charlotte and William had 8 children: Lula, Dora, John, Sarah Lena, Molly, Nancy, Ida and Era Estelle Murphy. Lurana and William T. had twin daughters, only one of whom survived. Her name was Gertrude Murphy. Charlotte and Lurana's mother was a Hightower. That line is fairly well documented. It is mostly the Davis, Mitchell and Murphy lines that need more work. We greatly appreciate any help that can be given on these ancestors! Caroline Rush Markham Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
