Looking for Virginia Davis sister of Anaxa Gorus and Asadia (Sade) Davis
I am looking for an ancestor named Virginia Davis.She was born in Pontotoc, MS about 1842.She was the daughter of Katerine Keaton Davis, born 1821-1844, and Thomas Jefferson Davis born 1820 in Todd Co, KY.Her mother died 3 months after her 3rd child was born and Thomas Jefferson, who had family in DeKalb County, AL, sent her brother Anaxa Gorus, born fall of 1844, to live with his sister Nancy (who married a Tillmon) in Lebanon or Ft Payne, AL.The other brother Isadis or Asadia Howelton Davis to live with Thomas Jefferson Davis's brother William G Davis.No one seems to know what happened to Virginia.It is my assumption that she was also sent to the Lebanon/Ft Payne AL area to be raised by another of Thomas Jefferson's siblings.
When grown Anaxa Gorus (A.G.) Davis married Mary Jane Horton daughter of Jesse Bean Horton and Eliza McCurdy Horton.Asadia Howelton (Sade) married Elizabeth Beck daughter of Thomas Beck and Rebecca Cunningham Beck. Sade and Elizabeth moved their family to Texas.
The father of Thomas Jefferson, Nancy Davis Tillmon and Mary Davis Parker (who also lived in the Lebanon, AL area) was John Davis.He died after 1860 in Ft Payne, AL of Typhoid Fever in the home of Mary Parker.
Does anyone know what happened to Virginia?
Any help would be appreciated
