142 Years Ago Today
April 26, 1867

My great granduncle, Hugh C. Davis was one of fifteen children born to Thomas Jefferson and Sarah Ann (Combs) Davis. See February posts for siblings. Hugh’s mother was thought to be a full blooded Indian, but I have found no definitive documentation. Hugh married Mary Casly Strouth on April 13, 1892 in Russell County, VA.
