  • Notes 
    • !NOTES:I (Marty Grant) am not related to this person as far as I know. However, I am interested in all Davis families in western North Carolina to some extent.
      * I am interested in Burke County Davis families through 1860.
      * I am interested in Yancey County Davis families through 1900.
      * Married to a Davis.
      * I have DNA matches with descendants of this familiy so there is a blood connection somewhere;
