I became interested in exploring my family history, (Davis and Parker on my father's side, Bryant and Sarvis on my mother's side) a few years ago. This Home Page allows 2000 names. I have over 6400 names for these families on my database.
I would like to thank my Mother, Juanita Nancy Bryant Davis for her strength in helping me with this journey. We drove many miles and walked many cemeteries to gather pictures and information.
During my research, I was very fortunate to find a cousin, Allene White Schnaiter in Texas also researching the Davis line. We have the same 3rd great grandfather, Enoch Davis and his wife Nancy and also 2nd great grandfather Robert C Davis. First born of Enoch and Nancy C Davis. I wish to acknowledge Allene for her wonderful contributions of our Davis family to this web page. Thanks Allene, I'm so fortunate to have found a cousin, I didn't know I had. Also, thanks to all the wonderful family and friends who continue to contribute their family info, so our ancestors will never be forgotten.
This is a working document. Any corrections, additions, deletions or information on the the families listed would be greatly appreciated.
