    3. Hi everyone, I apologize for sending this to the list, but I tried to reply to the e-mail address and it came back to me. Maybe someone will else will be able to use the information too. ======================= Hi. I appreciate the KING information you sent, but I don't know yet if it ties in with mine. I don't have much on mine yet. But I am still working on it. Anyway, I looked in the Flowers District for Davis families and found only one. Since John W. Davis was born in 1771, I doubt he would have been alive for the 1880 census, but maybe one of his sons is listed. Here is what I found: Page 5 (or microfilmed page 357A and is VERY light) Supervisor District #4th Enumerator District #76 2 June 1880 Flowers District 359 #46 DAVIS, Richard WM 29 Married Farmer GA/GA/GA DAVIS, Marga Ann WF 30 Wife Keeping House GA/GA/GA DAVIS, Loula WF 7 Daughter Single GA DAVIS, John WM 5 Son Single GA DAVIS, Richard WM 2 Son Single GA DAVIS, Elizabeth WF 15/30 Daughter GA I have no idea what the 15/30 is supposed to mean on the daughter's age. I assume she was an infant, under the age of 2. It doesn't give a birth month so I assume she was older than 1. The page is light so maybe I misread her age, but since she is younger than the brother Richard above her I assumed she was under 2 but older than 1. Is this man the son of your John W. DAVIS? I will try to keep an eye out for my DAVIS families as I continue to transcribe the census,but it is a very slow process for me. I only spend an hour or so on it a week and sometimes have to skip a week. If you would like me to look for another name in the district that I have done, just let me know. As for my SMITHs, they were in GA, too. Mainly Washington County, GA though. My great-grandfather, Charles "Charlie" Lee Smith married Eula Belle KING (I assume in Jones Co GA prior to their first child being born around 1897 or so). I don't know why he would have been in Jones County. Maybe he had some SMITH relatives there, but I don't know who they would be. His family spent most of their time in Washington County and he was supposedly born in Lee County. He and Eula Belle died in Decatur County, GA. His father was William Joseph Madison Smith, born 1844 +/-; grandfather was Joseph Duty Smith; Gr-Grandfather was Colby Smith. Of course there were many lines branching out as well. So you see I don't really know if any of them were in Jones County, GA besides my Charlie.
