William Austin m. Sarah Custer) who married John Davis (f. __________Davis m. Ellendor __________). John and Mary Elizabeth (Austin) Davis had two know children, George and (Ellen) Ella Davis. Ella married Robert Welch Graves and were Alabama a short time where a couple of their children were born. By 1900 they were in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; 1910 in New Oreleans were both lived out their lives. Any information on this line would be appreciated. I have pictures of Ella in her later years of life and of her children. Marie in Elmo, Texas >> Hello Marie The following is from "Related Families of Botetourt County Virginia" by J. William Austin II and Rebecca H R Austin, Roanoke, VA Oct 1977 pg 15. Like many of the things I quote from this book I caution that I have found errors so you should use this information as a guide. The books give the parents of John Davis as John and Ellender Davis b. 1815 ( I don't know if this means John or Ellender was born 1815). It also list them as the parents for William Davis who married Sarah Austin, sister to Mary E. Austin. I know this is a real long shot here but the George Davis, son of John and Mary E. Austin Davis wouldn't by chance be George Whitefield Davis who married Maria del Carman Delores Juaranta ATOCHA who was from New Orleans, LA who had ties to the Botetourt Co,. VA AMMEN line? I think your George would have been too young but it never hurts to ask.
