Lucimac Thanks so much for the message. Here is my story. My grandmother, Martha Matilda Catherine DAVIS Morgan had three cousins that I had searched for for several years, thirty as a matter of fact. In the last few years I have found them. My grandmother's uncle, William Davis, married Francis Hilburn in about 1858 0r 1859. I can not find them on the 1860 census and by 1870 both were dead leaving three orphan children, Sarah Ann Samantha, William Levi, and George W. Davis. They were living in DeKalb in 1870 with a non family member, atleast I can not find a connection. In 1880 Sarah was living with her uncle and his family J.J. Hilburn in Walker co. His wife was the Stokes. Also living with them was James Huskey who Sarah married the next year. Huskey deserted her and her kids and she lived the rest of her life in Marion and Grundy Co., Tn and died in Harlan Co., Ky in 1927. Sarah's brother, William Levi Davis, married Sarah Stokes, daughter of Sylvanus. She had two daughters and died about 1890 to 1900. I have been in contact with a descendant of William Levi Davis and his second wife and I have been in contact with some of the Hukey family but not descendants of James and Sarah. Have been told that there are descendants in Walker Co. but have not found them. Would like to correspond with them. Also would like to find William Davis and Francis Hilburn in the 1860 census. J.J. and George Hilburn were in Dade co. in 1860 and served with the Dade Co. boys during the Civil War. All of Wm. Davis' family was also in Dade Co. It is possible that they were living in Dade and the census just missed them. Would be glad to hear from you and any of the families Paul R.L.
