    Notes:

    Apparently Margaret, Lemuel, Isabella, and Jacob Thomasson were siblings who married the children of two of the William F. Davis family brothers; Anderson Womack Davis and Phillip Pinkney Davis.

    Lemuel Levi served in the Civil War with Thomas's Legion.

    This info was taken from an article in a Broad River Genealogical Society edition. Some of the info on the Davis family is wrong and the other data is questionable based on the correlation of dates.

    Lemuel married Sarah Jane Davis on 15 Oct 1859 in Franklin, Macon County, NC. Sarah (daughter of Anderson Womack Davis and Myranda (Myra) Lequire) was born on 2 Mar 1844 in Bryson City, Swain County, NC; died on 28 Apr 1909 in Murphy, Cherokee County, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  William Fernilson Davis was born on 19 Mar 1788 in Union County, South Carolina (son of Phillip Davis and Nancy); died on 16 Jul 1846 in Rutherford County, North Carolina.

    Notes:

    William and Sarah raised 16 children on a large farm between Polkville and New House. The home was a large two story house that burned sometime around 1835-1836 while "Hamby" was a baby.

    In trying to get all the possessions out of the house, the mattresses were rolled up and thrown out the upstairs window and then later carried away from the house. After the house was engulfed in flame, the family realized Hamby was missing and believed he was lost in the fire. Shortly they heard a baby crying and found Hamby rolled up in one of the mattresses that had been thrown out an upstairs window.

    The Davis family farm was handed down to Melena Francis "Fannie" Davis who married Jackson Scoggins and raised three children. Charlotte Lee the oldest married John Jiles Greene and continued on the family farm. Daughter Loulean (Lula) and husband Will Swink moved back in with Charlotte and continued on the farm after Charlotte's death in 1941. The Swinks eventually sold the farm.

    "Fannie" Davis was Jackson's second wife. His first wife was Sarah "Sally" Scoggins who had 11 children.

    Tombstone in family graveyard has date of death as July 16, 1876
    Family history sheets completed by Biddie Ruppe state July 16, 1846
    The 1850 Cleveland Co. census does not show William so the family sheets are probably correct. The tombstones were not set until sometime in the 1960 - 1970 timeframe.

    William married Sarah "Sally" Womack on 5 Mar 1812 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Sarah (daughter of Anderson Womack and Frances "Fannie" Dobbins) was born on 6 Sep 1793 in Rutherford County, North Carolina; died after 1866 in New House, Cleveland County, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 13.  Sarah "Sally" Womack was born on 6 Sep 1793 in Rutherford County, North Carolina (daughter of Anderson Womack and Frances "Fannie" Dobbins); died after 1866 in New House, Cleveland County, NC.

    Notes:

    Birthdate on the tombstone is 1791. Buried in the Greene-Davis family cemetery located approximately 5 miles from Polkville on Stagecoach Trail Road between Polkville and New House. A family history sheet compiled by Biddie Barnett Ruppe indicates Sally's death as June 27, 1850.

    The 1850 Cleveland Co. census shows Sarah as widowed living with the following family members still living with her: Susan (33), Sarah "Sally" (26), Melena Francis (22), Simon D. (16), Abraham H. (15), William A Philbeck (10), and Abram Womack (45) apparently her brother a blacksmith. William Philbeck is apparently the son of Susan and John Philbeck.

    The 1860 Cleveland Co. census shows Sarah as an invalid living in the same house as her daughter Sarah P. (36) another daughter Phoebe C. McKinney (32), Mary J. Davis (7), William A. Philbeck (19), William P. Davis (11), William A. Davis (10), and Cela S. Davis (8).

    Her will located in the NC State Archives is dated March 14, 1866.
