Carol: My Grandpas Boys were Ray Davis (my Dad) Harrison Davis, Mack Davis, Edward Davis, Guy Davis, Mont Davis Elzo Davis, and George Davis. I think my Dad was the youngest so one of those could be your grandfathers father I suppose depending on how old your are. It seems like I have heard a Charles mentioned by one of my cousins. I will look through my emails and see.
