Her father's name was Johnathan I believe. I have there marriage record here somewhere. Married in Madison Co., Ky. He was from Va.the county that latter became part of Lincoln Co, Ky. We just moved and I can't find anything yet. I have it in a box somewhere. I read somewhere that she suffered from some sort of mental disorder and was latter comitted. I don't know how true that was. When we get settled I will look for this information. My mother was Margaret Davis, daughter of Joe Davis who was the son of Morton who was the son of William Davis. John's father was Samuel.
