Peggy, One final thing: About a year ago, I saw a query somewhere in a printed publication inquiring about this same Davis family of Panola County. It was posted by Carolyn Billingsley. She is a mainstay genealogist for Benton County, Arkansas and a good friend of Desmond Walls Allen. Both are pretty much experts on Arkansas genealogy. With a little effort, you should be able to find the address of Carolyn. I do not know her but I think that she is also co-author with Desmond on some of the Arkansas publications. I don't know her connection to this family--if any--but you probably should try to find out and connect with someone more expert than me about the Davis family. Tony Lanagan
