I am looking for information on Nellie (REED) DAVIS, wife of Wesley DAVIS and daughter of William and Susan REED. I'm trying to place Nellie as born on White Oak Mtn, Ham. Co, in 1818, and how her family arrived there. I have some info I'm not sure of, that places her parents on the 1817 reservation roll on the Tuckaseegee River, NC. Nellie DAVIS was the mother of Jane WOLFE, who was mother of Francis Meredith WOLFE, father of Estella (WOLFE) MURPHY of Bradley Co, my ggrandmother. I think the DAVISes were from Snow Hill. Thanks, Kim

Alexander SMITH and his wife Amanda SHELL were in James Co. in the 1880 census with their family. They died about 1884 or 1885. Their children were William, Margaret E., Caroline, Ephreim, George W., Tate, Rachel S., Burke and Doc.

Does anyone have any information on Alexander and Amanda's death or where they are buried? Does anyone have any information on this family? Some of the children moved to Arkansas and Oklahoma.

I would welcome any information you have. Thank you.
