Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Thomas Gibson Davis was born on 6 Apr 1868 in Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States (son of Robert Ragland Davis and Harriet Celiah Boggess); died on 17 Nov 1940 in Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States; was buried on 18 Nov 1940 in Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 7 Jun 1870, Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 1 Jun 1880, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States
    • Cemetery: 18 Nov 1940, Decatur Cemetery, Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States

    Notes:

    Thomas is listed twice in the 1870 Census. Once on the first page as being 1 and then as the last one on 2nd page as being 2. So he was either born in 1868 or 1869.


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Robert Ragland Davis was born in 1821 in Kentucky, United States; and died.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 9 Oct 1850, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 20 Jul 1860, Servel, Meigs, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 7 Jun 1870, Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 1 Jun 1880, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States

    Notes:

    The 1850 Census has Robert being born in 1823. The 1860, 1870 & 1880 Census has Robert being born in 1822.

    Robert married Harriet Celiah Boggess on 3 Nov 1843 in Meigs County, Tennessee, United States. Harriet (daughter of Abijah Boggess) was born in Dec 1825 in Tennessee, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Harriet Celiah Boggess was born in Dec 1825 in Tennessee, United States (daughter of Abijah Boggess); and died.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 9 Oct 1850, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 20 Jul 1860, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 7 Jun 1870, Decatur, Meigs, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 1 Jun 1880, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 18 Jun 1900, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States
    • Residence: 21 Apr 1910, Meigs County, Tennessee, United States

    Notes:

    The 1850 & 1910 Census has Harriet being born in 1826, the 1860 has her being born in 1828, and the 1870 & 1880 Census has her being born in 1827.

    In the 1880 Census, Robert and Harriet have her father Abijah Boggess living with them along with a person by the name of Ralph Boggess. Ralph is listed as being a servant. However, I believe that he may be a brother or some type of relation to Harriet. Further research is required to figure that out.

    According to the obituary of Harriet, she was the mother of 14 children. There were two children listed as being a Thomas in the 1870 Census. One was born in 1869 and one in 1868. Is the 2nd Thomas actually someone else?

    According to Harriet's daughters death certificate she was born in Meigs County, Tennessee. However, Meigs County did not exist until 1836
