Thanks Cheryl for posting this! Tied a few loose ends together. Didn't know how Mary Everlyn Curtis tied in before though I knew had Zachary 'Zack' Davis tied in with 'our' Davis line. By the way, I'm in the process of making a Davis web page for the descendants of our John Davis and Abigail Duncan so keep watch! Have lots of pictures, etc that will be going up. So if you're a descendant of John Davis Sr. (abt 1776 - abt 1843 DeKalb Co., TN) who married Abigail Duncan (d/o Elijah Duncan) about 1800 probably Rutherford Co., TN and was in the Hannah's Branch area of TN by about 1810 - please drop me a line at [email protected] Have a pretty good record of my Solomon Davis and Cheryl's John Davis Jr - but could use some help on some of the others.

There is a lot of good information in this email. I am trying to verify the name of the first wife of Levi Curtis. I have him as being married first to Mary Johnson. I believe that she is listed in the U.S. Census - 1880 DeKalb Co., 4th District, TN and being 33 years old. Ref. Page 39, Location 347 361. I may have copied this information incorrectly. Can someone check this out? Thanks.
