I'm finally getting serious about researching my Missouri DAVIS clan. Felt
totally overwhelmed by the shear numbers of them in the 1860 Fed Census Index!
The 1860 census has me wondering who the Robert C. CANTRELL was who lived
next door to my GGG grandma. He is the right age to be Dial's sibling, but
I don't find him listed in the information I have here.
I know Leona Headley was also curious about him, did I miss the ID?
The DAVIS family that I am looking for had a daughter named Mary Ann
"Polly" DAVIS who married David "Dial" CANTRELL on 14 Mar 1844 in
Barry
Co., MO (I have a copy of this document). According to several census
records (1850 and 1860), Polly was born in North Carolina. Dial died in
1858 (age abt 34) and Polly died in 1863 (age abt 40) - I wonder why they
both died so young!

NOTICE! There is confusion here, please fix your records!
The George W. TODD listed below is *not* the George W. TODD who married
Rebecca E. CANTRELL (listed above in the household of Mary Ann (Davis)
CANTRELL!) - this is the son of William Brooks and Elizabeth (Newton) TODD.
The George Washington TODD who married Rebecca E. CANTRELL was the son of
Floyd M. and Sarah "Sallie" (Pritchett) TODD. Floyd M. TODD should also not
be confused with another Floyd M. TODD living in the area! Oh, what a
tangled web... <G!>

TODD, George W., age 34, farmer, $300 real estate, $250 personal property,

Would be happy to share what I have on these folks. But would LOVE some
help with the DAVIS clan, especially!
Thanks, Joanne
