My mother gave me a book on the settlement of Runnells, Polk, Iowa. All her ancestors settled there. After my mother passed, I pulled out the book...and that's all it took.
Also, my mother took me to the family cemeteries since I was small, and taught me my ancestry. I had so much oral history to pass on, I realized it needed to be written down and researched.
Not sure. My Hoover line did come from Pennsylvania - Bedford County. Supposidly his father's name was Thomas. His name was Daniel, born 1806 according to his headstone, but that seemed to change with every census *grin*
I see that you are looking for several lines of Davis. I have one that started in Kentucky, Mississippi, and South Carolina and ended (by marriage of two Davis's) in Texas.
Robert Davis (SC 1908?) + Mary Ann Davis (KY 1806? ; purported to be Jefferson Davis' sister) = Amanda Jane Davis (MS 1833).
Amanda Jane Davis (MS 1833) + Jacob A. Miller (TN 1807) = Mary Elizabeth Miller (TX 1852).
That's probably enough so you can see if these are the Davis's you are looking for.
Hi Cheryle my name is Anett. My Davis's seem to match locations of your except Quaker.. Main Davis characters are Jeremiah and Frances Davis-south carolina--William Davis and Sophia Brown in Greene Co. Alabama then to Texas Stafford Davis and Zula Portwood then to Oklahoma for Samual and Zula and thats where i am at.
I have a few Shoemakers in my ancestry. One Barbara Shoemaker, daughter of George Shoemaker, married George Jacob Coffelt (Kauffelt). I have others too who do not seem connected to George and Barbara but I don't know where they hailed from.
