Hi Jane, Welcome to the YELTON e-mail list! I am sending you what I have on the Davis family - not too much, I'm afraid. But, Martha Ann Hall Rathburn is a member of our list and I'm sure she will be able to help you more. At least I hope so. If not, we'll all keep our eyes open for related Davises. You should get two copies of this message as I am also sending it to the list. Please let me know if you do NOT get two copies. We would love to have more information on your family. As you will be able to see below, we don't have very much.
