Melinda Tillman wrote a wonderful history of her ancestors from Shelby county!! I am very proud to say that I also descend from the Nathan DAVIS Jr and Nathan DAVIS Sr. that Melinda mentioned. My gggrandfather, Martin Fletcher DAVIS, was a half brother to Melinda's Abijah DAVIS. Melinda has helped me SO much on my research into this DAVIS family. I appreciate all the help from her as well as Notha Stevens, Elizabeth Moore who helped me on my STORY connection, and everyone else who has sent any information. Without your help, I wouldn't have known!! Genealogists are wonderful! Peggy Loar
