I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEED BACK OR FAMILY CONNECTIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT PERHAPS MY VIRGINIA DAVIS'S WERE RELATED TO JEFFERSON DAVIS OF THE CONFEDERACY BUT I HAVE NO PROOF. MY GRANDMOTHER WAS "SARAH ELIZABETH DAVIS" BORN 1-27-1887 IN WISE OR SCOTT COUNTY. DIED 5-7-1977 SHE WAS MARRIED TO "WESLEY CHESTER PREVETTE" BORN WASHINGTON COUNTY 9-21-81 DIED DEC.1948 MY FATHER HARRISON LIBURN PREVETTE WAS BORN 3-20-07 IN COEBURN, VA WISE COUNTY & DIED 10-27-1985. SARAH ELIZABETH DAVIS PARENTS WERE JOHN HENRY DAVIS 1854 - 1939 & EMILY RANEY BLEVINS. JOHN HENRY WAS A BLIND MAN IN LATER LIFE AND I HAVE A PICTURE OF HIM WITH WILLIAM AND MARY GREER. THE OTHER CHILDREN OF JOHN & EMILY DAVIS WERE JESS C. BORN 1881, ANDREW BORN 1883, LELIA SAHRAH SAVANNAH GURRANT BORN 1885 AND ELIZA JANE DAVIS BORN 1889. JOHN HENRY DAVIS PARENTS WERE "ROBERT DAVIS AND ESTER STALLARD". THE OTHER CHILDREN OF ROBERT & ESTER WERE MARY DAVIS GREER BORN 1855, MARTHA , & ROBERT JR. RE THE DAVIS NAME INTERESTING MY MOTHER WAS A DAVIS FROM NEW YORK STATE & I MARRIED A DAVIS FROM PENNSYLVANIA& OF COURSE MY GRANDMOTHER PREVETTE WAS A DAVIS FROM VIRGINIA. THANK YOU BOB PREVETTE SOUTH BEND, IN.
