Darrell: I'm responding to an old post (2004) re: Archibald Caraway. I believe Tom
Caraway's wife, Mary Hattie Caraway, was Mary H. Davidson, and that she was a sister
to Irene Davidson Elliott, my husband's grandmother. I believe their parents may have
been Bynam Davidson and Nancy Russell Davidson of Lincoln/Jackson Parish, LA. If so,
Bynam Davidson was quite a lot older than Nancy Russell, and he apparently died sometime
after 1880. I found a marriage license at
FamilySearch.org for a Nancy Davidson (married
name) and an Archibald Caraway for 17 December 1911 in Mount Pleasant, Titus County, TX.
If this is your Archibald and my Nancy they would both have been past 60 at the time of
the marriage. I do know Nancy Davidson was living with her daughter, Irene Elliott and
family in 1910 (Titus County TX census for that year). Titus County neighbors Franklin
County, where Mt Vernon (burial site of Archibald Caraway) is located. Do you have any
information about this ma!
rriage or Archibald's later life? I have not been able to find a death certificate
or burial information for Nancy Russell Davidson nor for Archibald Caraway.
