Hello Clara: I am so happy to hear from you. I dont know about the Robert E. Lee thing but my Davis line left (we think) Hardy Co, VA and went to Oh. Some ended up in Indiana and points west. There is also a possibility of them being in PA. I only have a book with this particular line, it is called "Days of our Davis" by Louise (Moore) Burt. I can check names in the book.
