About Our Families -Davis and Daniels
Putting this family information together has been a labor of love and fun.
I have been given assistance from so many family members that I cannot list
them all-but here are a few special people:
Shirley Tackett(Andersons+) Jim White(Rowseys) JoAnne Helton (Rowseys)
Omega Cole(Andersons) Maria Davis-Johnson (Davis) and the Seventh Day Baptist
Church in Salem, Wv. Zandra Michel (McComas)
My side of this grouping are basically from Glamorshire,Wales & Scotland--I am
told a few American Indians(I haven`t traced yet) and I am sure, a scattered
pot of different countries.
My late Dad-Hayward Davis was born and raised in Salem, Wv-going to both the
Seventh Day Baptist CHurch(Adventist) on Saturday with his Dad and then to the
Salem Baptist Church on Sunday with his Mom. Needless to say(and I am sure I`m
prejudice) he turned out to be one heck of a guy. He was a Navy Veteran of 8+
years, his last Commision was on the USS VALLEY FORGE. His last employment was
as an electrician for Ford`s Motor company for 20 years until he had a stroke
that put him in a wheelchair until he passed in 2000.
Mom is a Rowsey-and Uncle Ernie says they are Rebel Rowsey`s. I think he
really means rousers. 17 kids and a brick maker father-wow, that must have
been some homelife. Grandma Anna Ball was 5ft of fury--when her temper
was `roused`.
My husband`s side of the tree is mostly Irish(again that melting pot I am sure
is involved here too). It has been rumored that Pocahontas is in this family
tree somewhere-as is Jenny WIley.
Being from Kentucky-most of the family were Coal miners (some still are!)
Arnollis Sr(Dad) was killed in a mine at a young age. Jim and his brothers all
left the area-one reason--they were not going to work the mines. Some of the
memebers of this line have `colorful` stories. Some were just down right onrey.
