Sounds as if you and Angie Gross know more about my great grandmother Louisa Sydney Davis than I do! I know absolutely nothing about her (other than she married my great grandfather Elmer), her natural family or her "adpotive" family. You mentioned a Maggie and a Jesse. Can you give me any information about this "adoptive" family and are you sure this was family that took her in? I'd love to know more! Thanks...... Melody
