Maggie: Did you receive the information on Lillie May Petit that I sent directly to you?

Reynolds. Her stone reads - Lillie May Petit 1890-1926. Is this part of your family? I would like to know her relationship.

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.

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.
