As far as I know, all of the above individuals are deceased. Most of them buried around Cass, Menard, Mason, Sangamon counties in central Illinois. I have permission of the owner of this picture to post it on the web, and have permission to email it to any of you who are related. As of now, this DAVIS family tree has over 4,900 souls. You are all welcome to ask questions, answer questions, and of course, contact me, a direct decendant of Goldsby DAVIS, who is the grandfather of Bert DAVIS, et al. Also have an old newspaper picture of the LIPPERT family and the BRYANT family, but I'm not sure how well they will scan. Will be looking forward to hearing from you. Sincerely yours, D.
