I would like any information of Samuel Edward Davis and his wife Jessie Lane Davis. Samuel was born 1865 and died 1947 and Jessie was born 1865 and died 1956. They also adopted a 3 year old boy who they named Richard Huston Davis born January 22, 1895 he was my great grandfather and I would like any information on his adopted family and if you know any information on his biological family.
Thank-you in advance.
