Susan Ann Davis was one of my great great great grandmothers on my maternal side. She married Robert William Bobbitt. I have not conducted much research on this line yet.
My great grandmother's name was Carrie Lee Davis birth 17 Feb 1896, death 31 Jan 1948. Her married name was Rowell. She married Robert Louis Rowell. She lived and died in MS. I do not know much else about her. I would love to know who her parents were. I have been told she was a Native Indian but that is all hear say. I am hoping to tie into someones family tree.
