(NOTE: This is a response to an earlier GenConnect Query regarding an individual's particular surnames) In reply to your March 27, 1999 list of surnames, I can help you with information on all of the Davises and Grants you have listed and some information on the Whittles. I can also give you a contact name and address for the grandson of James Wesley and Bessie Davis Whittle. Minnie and Bessie Davis were sisters, daughters of Abner H. and Mary Merriam (Davis) Davis. After Minnie died, James Wesley Whittle, Minnie's widower, came back to Monroe County to ask Bessie to marry him, which she did. Mary Merriam (Davis) Davis was the daughter of Gideon Mason Davis and Elizabeth Willons (Wellons) Davis (my great, great-grandparents), and the sister of William Booker Davis (my great-grandfather). I have a photo of Gideon and Elizabeth Davis and their ten children which was made around 1900. I am the granddaughter of Woodfin Grady Davis (son of William Booker Davis and Carrie Evans Davis) and Corine Grant Davis. (She was never called Cora -- evidently that was someone else.) All of the other Davises listed are also my relatives. Most of them are buried at Old Salem Methodist Church on Pea Ridge Road in Monroe County, GA. If you will email me your mailing address and/or telephone number, I'll be glad to share more info, including photos and obituaries. Or, if you have the Family Tree Maker program, let me know which version and I can just attach the info to an email. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
