Re the birth of Fae Cecil Davis--his social security number appears to be 313-32-0717. One can write to the social security office (check ssdi.rootsweb.com to see if they give directions how to obtain information). The original application form gives date of birth, where born, name of parents. Also, he probably had to register for the World War I draft. It might contain the exact place of birth too. Everyone born between 13 Sept 1872 and 12 Sept 1900 had to register, unless they were already in the military. Lea
