These boys were born in Indiana, moved to Weakley Co., Tenn.  Later they settled in southeast Mo and Arkansas.  Hoping to learn which of these boys was the father of Albert Davis, Bollinger Co., Mo.  Albert was the father of Alfred Davis.  Alfred was the father of Luther.  Anyone familiar with this family....would love to hear from you.
