Ross and Maggie -- I have a number of Davis shirttail cousins. William Riley Davis (son of Phobe Isbell and William 'Billie' Davis) married Christine Ann Hickman. The Hickman and Isbell families come into my family a couple times, and a couple others from the extended Davis family marry into these lines. Eventually they tie into the Reynolds family. My g grandmother was a Reynolds. I only have one Lawrence County cemetery book, not the one that has this. I would love your list. Many thanks, Maggie, Elaine Ross Cameron <rcameron49@earthlink.net> wrote: Hi Maggie, I am sure the Miller and Mt. Vernon Libraries will be happy to have a copy. The cemetery listings at the Mt. Vernon Library are actually maintained by the Lawrence County Historical Society. If possible, I would be interested in receiving a copy, too. Although I have transcriptions of the Davis Cemetery from the LCHS Tombstone Inscriptions book and Mary Curry's book, there are a few differences. So another transcription would be useful to compare. And there may be more recent stones, too. I have several transcriptions of the Old South Bend (a/k/a Patton, Hoshaw, Shelton, Mahan, Hopewell) Cemetery, including one I made in the 1960s. No two of them agree completely. So it is always good to have more than one person's reading/transcription/printing of tombstone inscriptions of a cemetery. On another note -- which postings to MOLAWREN often lead to -- are you a Davis family researcher? I have a Davis relative whose parents I have not been able to identify. Gilly S. Williams [Note: Gilly is a nickname for Abigail; her full name is probably Abigail Smith.] born 22 Sep 1833, near Mount Vernon, Lawrence Co.

William and Gilly's first son was named James Samuel. Gilly's father was Samuel Smith Williams. If this naming pattern was followed, then William's father's name was James. The first daughter was named Sarah E. and the E. may have been for Elizabeth because Gilly's mother was Elizabeth. That could mean that William's mother may have been Sarah. The second son was named William, presumably after his father and the second daughter named Gillie, presumably after her mother, which was also often part of this naming pattern. William and Gilly were living very near Timothy W. Davis in the 1850 census. Timothy W. was also 30 and born in NC, like William, at least as recorded in this census. William was killed by bushwhackers during the war. Timothy was captured by Capt. Toney's company but escaped. And Harden and Nancy Davis were killed by bushwhackers. William Riley Davis, 32, and Harden, 28, are also listed in 1850 as born in North Carolina. This may or may not indicate any connection between these various Davis families. Can you can shed any light on the Harden and William Riley Davis family and how it might connect to William and/or Timothy Davis.

Hello there, I wanted you all to know that I've let Ted Roller know about everyone that indicated an interest in either the "Down The Wire Road" book or the Trail of Tears book that was discussed here in the last few days. I know that a portion of the proceeds from "Wire Road" goes to the Barry County Genealogical & Historical Society, and we really appreciate your interest. I hope that you all are as riveted as I was with the stories from the Old Wire Road. Luckily, Fern Angus compiled all of them before she passed away, and then Ted added to them. It's sad to think of all the stories that WEREN'T saved and now are lost forever.

I used to live on Old Wire Rd in Brookline Station also called Battlefield Missouri The old farmhouse I lived in used to be a mailstop around the time of the civil war, There is a Civil War Battlefield approx 2 miles away...Old Wire Road ends just after you pass the Battlefiled on your left. If you are going south go passed the exit that would take you to Branson, It is one or two more exit's cross left over the bridge, Battlefield is just a couple miles down the road.

I can tell you that the Old Wire Road took a northeastern direction from Arkansas through Cassville, Mo.and continued towards the Crane creek area just west of Crane, Missouri. The wire road travels in the northeast direction by the Oak Grove School and Cemetery. The school is no longer there, but the cemetery is located approximately 2 miles north of Crane to about the A highway and west a quarter of mile. (The Missouri Conservation owns a large chunk of land that also is just southwest of the school and cemetery location.) From there it goes across highway 413 and continues towards the McCord Ranch, where the Butterfield Stage Coach once stopped. It is in this area that I and my family lived. From there it continues to go in a northeastern direction towards Springfield, Missouri, where the battle civil war took place at Wilson Creek. At one point, the road split near the Shiloh Church area but joined again as it continued towards Clever, Missouri. Some of us a few years ago, walked as much of it as we could and traveled by car to see other locations where the road goes. At that time, we could tell some of the signs that there had been a well-traveled road. As a member of the Stone County Historical Society, I helped with Book One of the history of Stone County, in gathering and writing history of Stone County. Many of the writers such as Fern Angus are no longer with us, but they have put their heart and soul into preserving the history of Stone County. Hope this will help with some information about the Old Wire Road. Betty J. (Martin) Henry ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
