Viola was dtr. of David A. Eymer and Jennie (Jane) Neil. David's father was Daniel(1817-1890), Daniel's father was David(1784-ca1862). If you do descend from William Davis and Fidelia Ann Howell it is interesting to note that David(1784) married a 2nd time after the death of his first wife, Naomi Oviatt. This 2nd wife, who outlived him, was named Alzina. All indications are that she was the widow Alzina Robertson Howell. This Alzina was the mother of Fidelia Ann making Fidelia the dtr - in - law and the stepdaughter of David. I try to keep my gedcom up to date with my research.
