I have not looked for the Davis family on the census, but had run across a couple of property transfers between Wm Davis and L! uraneys father. I have some info on the Davis/Spires marriage, and also on the Joseph Davis family, but have not located anything on Wm Alfred Jr. I would be glad to share anything that you may be interested in. I would love to have anything you might want to share. Hope this is of some help.Email me at [email protected], Elaine
