When he married in Sumner Co., Tenn., he was Davis Holder. When he was tried for the murder of my great-grandfather's brother, he was Davis Carver alias Woods. At that time he had a small daughter, Ethel. In her lifetime she used Carver, Woods, and Morris as her maiden names, but never Holder. Davis escaped from the penitentary and returned to Barren Co. long enough to father a son in 1890. I haven't found a divorce for him, but his wife was remarried twice. When Ethel was a child, he, a woman and two little girls came to where she and her mother were staying. It was at night and she was under the impression they were traveling. Several years later, when she was in her 60's (1940ish) Ethel received several letters from two ladies who claimed to be her sisters, but she didn't believe them. Letters got destroyed, names forgotten and now no one remembers anything. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Would love to find Davis's new family. He was said to have changed his name and moved to another county (possibly Green) and remarried and raised family of several girls.
