I have been "eavesdroping" on your dialogue. All these names appear within my mystery family--which shouldn't be a mystery, for theyre great grands and we should be able to catch up with them better than those farther back. However, the Davis, Allen names are woven in a web that I can't get through. You have recently mentioned Thompson. My William Allen who married Eveline Hall in 1861 was the son of Delia (Delilah?) W. Davis Allen and James Allen. His full name was William Thompson Allen. All his records have the middle initial "T". If his mother was a Davis, she might have liked to add the family name, Thompson. Somewhere, somehow, these people have some thread of familiarity. Do you pick up on any of this?
