My dad is Dwaine Davis b 1920 >>Worthington, MO, his dad was Pleasant Jacob (Jake) Davis b 1883, Putnam, >>MO., m Lena Maude Moulder. Jake had a twin sister Clara Edna Davis West, >>wife of Monroe West. Their dad was Silas (Sie) Davis b 1852 OH, m Lydia >>Ann Wright (later Centers, later Russell) 1882 in Grt Twp, Putnam, MO. >>Family story is that he died of pnuemonia when the twins were just one year >>old. I can not find where Silas reigns from or if there was family before >>him in the Schuyler/Putnam area. Any help you could give me in looking for >>him on the census would be really appreciated. Also, I'm thinking he was a >>young (probably) man when he died and wonder if there might be something in >>a newspaper about his death. Can you reccommend someone that would be very >>through that does research for pay? (or a way I might check newspapers via >>correspondence) ? The name 'Davis' is hard to research & I was off on the >>wrong (maybe not) line there for awhile only to find out those Davis' were >>at least indirectly related through my father's sister's spouse Walter >>Evans! What a small world. I won't be surprised if they aren't more >>directly linked later but can not assume at this time and the only way I >>can be sure is to find Silas! Thanks for any help you might give, Sandy >> >> >
