| Ancestor Name: Hugh DAVIS
Settlement Area: The Dalles
Facts and Info: I am looking for information
about Hugh Davis and wife, Hester HEAD Davis. It is assumed that
they lived in The
Dalles Area about 1900. After 1903
they were found in the Madras area. I had always been told that they
lived on 13th street near
or in the block east of the present day
Junior High School. I am especially interested in a death date for
Hugh Davis and a place of
burial. They were married in Fayetteville,
Arkansas in 1871. According to the 1910 census for Crook Co. The
wife, Hester owned
a piece of property in or near Madras at
a place called Lyle Gap. She was living there with her son Hugh R.
Davis (then 33 years
old). Most of the above information came
to me from the Juniper Branch of Family Finders (for which I shall be eternally
grateful)
Hester Head Davis was my mother's aunt who
was originally born in North Carolina, transplanted to Arkansas, and after
marriage
moved to Oregon. Any information about
her marriage, children, and family would be greatly appreciated. |
