Davis, (b. abt. 1834 in Ky d. before 1880 census). and Mary E. was Lucinda Ratliff Zentz b. 7 Jan 1847 in Va. Lucinda Ratliff Zentz married Levi Zentz in the home of A. J. Davis 19 Nov. 1865. I would like to know where her sister Mary Ellen Ratliff Davis (b. 1 Apr. 1851 in Butler Coungy Ohio) was living before her marriage to John W. Davis b. Oct. 24, 1845 in Jackson county, Indiana and if John W. Davis was related to Andrew J. Davis. I would like to know how Lucinda and Mary Ratliff came to be in Iowa. We can't find their parents, Wm. and Nancy Nichols Ratliff on any census. Censuses that Lucinda was on after her marriage say that she and her parents were born in VA. I would also like to know if the Jesse Ratliff family who lived in Wayne County Iowa from the 1850s until 1890 was related to Lucinda and Mary Ratliff.
