I hit a wrong button and posted a new message instead of a response. I am descended from Henry Davis and Nancy Potts and Henry E. Davis and Mary Ann Boon(e). After that we are from different branches. Mine is Ratliff Ferdinand Davis (Ferd) and Lou Ella Bruner. Even though we are from different branches, I find your info fascinating. I can't help with any definitive answers. The very few people researching my branch have the info that you dispute. You may very well be right. Were there two or more Mary Ann's? Maybe that is the problem and someone made an erroneous assumption. Family bibles tend to be pretty good sources. The name patterns are a good clue. But, they are sometimes misleading. For example, one family I am researching has a child named Banner in almost every household in a couple of generations. The census info should be pretty good. But, still confusing if there is more than one Mary Ann. I don't know if there is. It's just something to check out. Finding that may help prove you right and explain the error. Let me know what you think.
