The name Ovid is in my family, and my family lived in Nuckols also. I was wondering if there is a connection somewhere. Actually there is a connection but it is not close enough to account for the name of Ovid showing up in both families. Ovid Alton RAIKES was the son of Samuel Jones RAIKES and Ruby Lee LESUEUR. Ruby Lee LESUEUR was d/o William Daniel LESUEUR who was s/o Daniel Perry LESUEUR. His mother was Susannah Hales AYRES. Her father was John Hales AYRES who was son of Matthias AYRES the immigrant. Clarence Ovid DAVIDSON's mother was Lucy Alice NUCKOLS. Her mother was Sarah Frances JONES. Her mother was Lucy GARRETT. Lucy GARRETT was d/o Charles GARRETT Jr. The mother of Charles GARRETT Jr was Mary AYRES. Mary AYRES was the daughter of Matthias AYRES, the immigrant. So they both go back to the common ancestor of Matthias AYRES who died in Buckingham Co, VA about 1782. Ruby Talley Smith
