This is to let you know who we are and what we are attempting to assemble.
 
We are the descendants of John Scott Davis and Mary America Privett her Father 
Was Dempsey Powell her mother was America (Mercia) Privett. 

Her brother as William 'Bill' Ayers the reason that Mary and Bill did not have 
The same last name is that he was sold into Slavery to the Ayers.

John Scott Davis 2nd wife was Dora Taylor, of Wilson County, North Carolina; 
Her parents were Ivey Evans and Harriett Taylor. 

We are also the descendants of Harry Atkinson and Hager Atkinson their 
Children were Hester, Handy, Harry, and Henry.

Handy married and Susanna Bell Barnes, her Parents was Isaac Bell & Abby, her 
Brother was named Joseph "Joe" Bell Barnes. 

Susanna and Joseph had to take the name of Barnes because they were sold into 
Slavery to John H Barnes of Wilson County, North Carolina.

Hester Atkinson married Thomas Hinnant; we can trace our roots back to Wilson, 
Johnston, Nash, Edgecombe and Wayne Counties, North Carolina.

My name is A. Elmer Davis and I am originally from Wilson, North Carolina.
It seems as if some of my ancestors preferred North Carolina and others relocate. 

The main surnames I have researched are: Davis, Flower(s), Nichols, Powell, Atkinson, 
Barnes, Evans, Taylor, Kent, Hinnant, Whitley, Joyner, Hester, Nichols,Privett,
Barnes, Kirby, Coley, Harris, and Lipscomb.

If you have time I would appreciate it if you would take a look at the "Unknown"
Surname listed in my pages. These are people (mostly wives) whose last name 
Is not known? 
By looking at their spouses it is possible that someone may recognize the family
And be able to provide me with the correct surname.
