Hello, I just heard back from my husbands Aunt last night about additional information
concerning The Stephan Davis connection. She says a cousin has confirmed the connection
of our Hugh to Stephan. She is sending me the information she has received. I am never
quite sure of the quality of information intill I receive it. A family book was put
together in 2002 but, was riddled with errors. The Hugh Davis family reunion was in
Sep't. and hopefully the errors and the new information will be corrected and
re-issued. We do have a-lot of information concerning Hugh's family. They ended up
in Ks., Mo., Ok.
We have our Hugh married to a Sara Huffman (parents: Joseph and Henrietta H (McClelland)
& Joseph's Father being William Huffman of Monongahela Co. VA). The family moved
(along with Sarah"s parents and the families of her brother and sister) to Crawford
Co. Kansa around 1867. We have their children listed as: Mary Eglantine, Arthur
Cliffield, Joseph Arbanner, Mina R., Stephen, Charles Dee, and Sarah (Sadie). Hugh's
wife Sarah died and Hugh moved to Barton Co., MO. and Marrried Mary Jane Tongett they
moved back to KS., and had 3 additional children Hugh Tinsley, Shirl and Lizzie. Around
1890 the family moved to the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory (now OK). where 2 more
children was born: Martha and Harley. I have not verified any of the information except
for some census information.
I will let you know when I recieve the additional information, I do hope this connection
can be proved. Please let me know if any of the above names came be found in any of the
letter you have. I am wiilling to share any information I have.
