To Molly and Davis Board Members-- I am also searching for an Alexandria, VA Davis family. My grgrandfather, James Robert Davis, was born there 8 april 1868. According to his death certificate he was the son of William and Sarah Davis, both Virginia born. Sarah's maiden name was possibly Dell. By the late 1870s, William Davis was dead and Sarah Davis moved her children (I think 7 of them, James Robert being one of the younger) to Phila, PA. The older 2 or 3 boys then left and went west. Sarah died in Phila, date unknown. This is all we know of this family. Did either Sarah or William have family in Phila? This is the only reason we can come up with for her move there. In any case if anyone has any knowledge of this family please contact me. Thanks. June
