    Hi, I saw that you're researching the Hefner name. My gg grandfather and gg grandmother were both Hefner's. (They are second cousins once removed.) John Lafayette was born 1837 in TN and his wife, Nancy Elizabeth was born 1849 in AL. Wondering if we might have a connection.

    Cheryle,

    Here's what little I know about the Hefner line.

    John Lafayette Hefner was my gg grandfather. He was born 1837 in Tennessee. Have have not found where he died. Other reseachers told me that his line back in time is as follows:

    John Hefner B: 1821 in NC D: about 1858 place unknown Married: Tennessee (That's here name. Unknown surname.)
    John Frederick Hefner B: 1810
    Daniel Hefner B: 1778 in NC B: 1835 in NC Married: Elizabeth Mackey
    Frederick Hefner B: about 1755 in NC D: after 1810 in NC Married: Barbara Whisenhunt

    I have no other information. Is it possible that these Hefner's are mixed in with yours somewhere??

    I have a few Shoemakers in my ancestry. One Barbara Shoemaker, daughter of George Shoemaker, married George Jacob Coffelt (Kauffelt). I have others too who do not seem connected to George and Barbara but I don't know where they hailed from.

    Hi, my DeForests came to NY in 1880 from Hull, England. I don't know before that.

    I see that you are looking for several lines of Davis. I have one that started in Kentucky, Mississippi, and South Carolina and ended (by marriage of two Davis's) in Texas.

    Robert Davis (SC 1908?) + Mary Ann Davis (KY 1806? ; purported to be Jefferson Davis' sister) = Amanda Jane Davis (MS 1833).

    Amanda Jane Davis (MS 1833) + Jacob A. Miller (TN 1807) = Mary Elizabeth Miller (TX 1852).

    That's probably enough so you can see if these are the Davis's you are looking for.

    Hope we made a connection :-)

    Not sure. My Hoover line did come from Pennsylvania - Bedford County. Supposidly his father's name was Thomas. His name was Daniel, born 1806 according to his headstone, but that seemed to change with every census *grin*
