Re: Davis Family

KemeticEnergy — 2009-08-29 05:21:05Z

Okay, here's what I've found w/o unpacking;

1900 Wilmar, Drew AR
DAVIS, SINKFIELD 26 Dec. 1873 AR
DAVIS, Mollie 22
DAVIS, Vance 3
DAVIS, Irene 11/12

1900 Bolivar, Jefferson AR
DAVIS, Sinkfield 15 Dec. 1885 AR Grandson of Elmira Glover aged 52, several other people in household

WW1 Draft Registration Crd 1917-1918
DAVIS, Sinkfield born Dec. 8, 1882

1910 Saline, Drew AR
DAVIS, Madison 76
DAVIS, Caroline 64
DAVIS, Mary 22

1920 North Little Rock Ward 3, Pulaski AR
I saw this census and was going to send it to you but wasn't sure if this was the same Caroline.

I'm not sure who my Will Davis was as my dad never knew him, he "died" when my dad was about 3 months old. My family is not very conversant about my Davis family. From what I've learned so far my Davis family were Mullato's and Native American. The only one I have any real info on is my grandfather, Will Davis, he's the one I found on the census with his sister Martha living w/a group of people.

Check out 1880 Carter, Ashley Co; AR Gilbert, Anthony's household with 8 year old son Sinkfield. I know this is the same man as the Davis, Sinquofield.

I'm not sure of any Wood's in my family but have heard of Wofford's.

My dad was a very dark skinned man with blue eyes... from what I've been told his dad was a light brown skinned man with "different" eyes. He was educated, fearless, strong minded, very family oriented and respected, even with all of the troubles he encountered.

Re: Davis Family

tjtgirl — 2009-08-29 03:02:23Z

Hi KineticEnergy,
Funny you mention his wife, I just found a census from 14 Jan 1920 in North Little Rock Ward 3,Hill Township,Pulaski, Arkansas. This might be the telltale sign if we are related or not.
This 1920 census lists Sinquofield as S.S. Davis aged 46 and he is listed as being Divorced.
He is head of household and apparently has roomers...however,
his mother, Caroline is living with him and she is 74 years old.
His Neice by his sister Mary, Althia Wood is living with him as well as his sister Mary Wood who also is listed as divorced. In this census she is listed as a roomer and not his sister,but I know with out any doubt that this is in fact his sister.
I'm anxious to know what you think of this census and to see if we are in fact related as I would LOVE to learn more about the Davis family.
Do you happen to have an idea of what your William Davis looked like?
I've been searching for a picture of my Sallie Davis and think I might have found one...will have to dig farther to know for sure but from what I know she was pretty light skinned, possibly mulatto.

Re: Davis Family

KemeticEnergy — 2009-08-29 02:36:57Z

Hi TJTGIRL,thank you for responding! I'm not quite sure if I am related to this Davis family...but I have a gut instinct that I am. I have hordes of FDavis info just not sure what to do with it as I'm not absolute about whom my Will (William?)Davis was. Your Sinquofield and the Sinkfield Davis that I have on 1880, 1900, 1920 and 1930's records are the same. I found Sinkfield married to Inez with two children in Drew County, AR if I am remembering the county correctly. Will and Martha were living with an assortment of people in some kind of camp.

I'm not exact on my info because I am in the process of moving and all of my research is packed up. But please keep in contact with me, I've waited a long time to connect with someone on this lineage.

Re: Davis Family

tjtgirl — 2009-08-29 00:28:37Z

Hi J.Davis and Dena:
Dena I think I might have tried to email you before but not sure.
J, I noticed that you brought up an 1880 Census that listed Sinquofield son of Mat Davis and Caroline Davis. Madison and Caroline Davis are my great great great grandparents. I am the decendent of Sallie Ann Davis, the older sister of Sinquofield. From what I've read of your posts, I'm not sure if we are related or not.
To answer your question regarding Sinquofield (estimated birth year: 1873), I have also seen his name as Saintfield and Sinkfield Davis and have yet to find anything on him despite my searches.
This is what I know of the family:
Caroline Davis was from Mississippi and her maiden name was Chavas. Madison Davis was originally from South Carolina and that is the extent I know of him. There are rumors that Caroline Davis might have been Cherokee but have yet to be proven.
The earliest I can place the family is in 1870 in Spring Hill, Drew County, Arkansas - Post Office: Monticello-.
The last census I have for the family is 1900 in Clear Creek, Drew County, Arkansas.
I took a look at Sinkfield 1900 census of of Drew County, Arkansas, and I think it was the same one listed in 1880 as the son of Madison and Caroline Davis.
I know that you posted your message in 2006 so I hope you get this message, if you have since found any information on your Davis side, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks,
T

Will Davis and William Wofford

KemeticEnergy — 2009-06-01 17:22:50Z

On the April 2,1930 Arkansas Census for Crittenden, Proctor Township, Incorporated Place: Edmonson Town:

WOFFORD, WILLIAM HEAD NEGRO 56 AR GA GA WIDOW
DAVIS, WILL BOARDER NEGRO 29 AR MS AL SINGLE

I believe the latter man to be my Grandfather, who was on the run for a murder that occured in Mississippi County. I'm wondering if anyone has information about the Wofford's and why Will Davis would be living with him? Could they have been related? I believe this is the same Will Davis I have been following on the records. So far I have found him in several different households throughout Bradley and Mississippi Counties, also in Ashley County.
Please, anyone it is imperative that I locate my family.

Thank you

Place called Morrison, Arkansas

racecarfan11 — 2009-04-23 04:03:10Z

I was looking at a death certificate for a family member
known to have been born in Bradley County. The death
certicate is dated in 1953.

The birthplace is listed as Morrison, Arkansas.
All the other children in the family were born in the
area east of Moro Creek & Marsden. The person in question
was born in 1887.

Is there an community called "Morrison" in Bradley County,
or maybe it was just misunderstood for Marsden?
