Karen. My great grandfather, Daniel Simon Jones of Centerville (Thurman) was the minister at Tyn Ros for many years in the late eighteenhundreds. He also had a tailor shop in Centerville. My other ggfather, Dr Daniel T. Jenkins was in Centerville. He died in 1901. If you come across any information about either of these gentlemen I would be interested in seeing it.

Hi, These are just things I've collected along the way and the Davis' mentioned aren't in my line, but I thought someone might be able to use them. A very common name around here. Good luck with your search!
