My husband's family are the Davis line and they came from Tishmongo Co., MS and neighboring counties in AL, where most of them still live. My husband's grandfather came to IL in the late 1930's to look for work and ended up in Chicago, and later moved to Kenosha, WI. He moved back to MS about 58 yrs. ago and passed away about ten years ago. My father in law moved to PAwnee, IL and later to Cordova, IL because of his work with Commonwealth Edison. He now lives in FL as do my husband's sisters. He is descended form a Bean (Rhoda) and lived down the street from a Chesser. I have several sites that describe his family line which was centered in the 1700's in Rowan Co., NC for the most part. There's a Proctor / Davis elated to my side of the family. I don't have all of my DAvis information at my fingertips at the moment, my husband must have borrowed his book again, but I will look to see if we have a William Buchannan. I know that we have a Thomas Clinton Davis, a Benjamin Farnklin DAvis, Wheeler, Walter RAy, Noel Curtis, and a few others come to mind that are totally common, but without the book, I'm not much good. I'll get back to you on that soon. Thanks for asking, it would be great if we could help each ohter out.
