If you are interested, you can contact me at Ed and Lois Denaut at ldenaut@yahoo.com Jefferson Davis was born June 3, 1808, in that portion of Christian county, Kentucky, which was afterwards set off as Todd county.Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America and commander-in-chief of the army and navy. As one result of the fall of the armies the President was made a captive by the military, imprisoned in chains, charged unjustly with crimes for which he demanded trial in vain, and after two years of imprisonment which disgraced his enemies was released on bond. A nolle prosequi was entered in his case in 1869, and thus he was never brought to the trial which he earnestly demanded. After this release on bail the ex-President enjoyed an enthusiastic reception at Richmond, Virginia, and then visited Europe. The death of the President occurred at New Orleans about one o'clock a.m., December 5, 1889, and the event was announced throughout the Union.
