Thank you to the several list members who commented on my original posting. I have no original genealogical data on these persons but there are a lot of historical details about Varina in a recent book by Felicity Allen, "Jefferson Davis Unconquerable Heart" published by Univ of MO 1999; for example she was accorded military funeral honors in both New York and Richmond at her death in 1906.
