James M. Davis was married to Emma D. Watkins, daughter of William Henry
Watkins and Amanda Marie Davis, on March 15, 1885. William Henry Watkins
was a half-brother of my gr.gr.grandfather, Josiah Watkins and they lived in
Green Hill.
I'd love to hear from anyone related to this branch of the family!
