Notes for William Davis & Sarah Elizabeth (Family)
Most information on this family is from Ruth J. White, <RUTHJAN@prodigy.net>, in email dated February and August of 1998. She lists the children of William Davis Christian and his first wife Sarah E. Lewis as: Clella, Elizabeth “Libby”, Lealia, Corbet, Roscoe, Ann, Vada, Addie, Vivian, and an infant who died at birth. I am not entering them into my database unless I find that some of them married relatives of mine.
