Joseph W. Davis

Notes:

Name:
Can shed a bit of light on Capt Davses! One on Carlos Davis, the other on Reda Davis.

Joseph W Davis (PVT Union Army) was father of Joseph M Davis. Joseph M had a nickname "CAP". He was always called" Uncle Cap". Old photo of he and others , he is listed as "Uncle Cap" and to my knowledge he was never in the military. In 1910 Uncle Cap was living in Oklahoma as a farmer. Carlos was age 13. In 1920 he was living in Indiana ( Carlos was age 21 )and -census dates. DAte seems of by a couple years but that is the census for you.

Mom remembered Uncle Cap very well , loved him. She " thought" he was called "CAP" because he Always wore a cap.

"Me thinketh" some researchers or whoever are thinking CAP is for Captain. In this case it isn't.

Carlos' parents were Joseph M ( called CAP) Davis and Mary Almeta/Almedia/ Aunt Meadie/Meady Foster. Mother was NOt Freely A Davis. From info on April-May June 2016 issue.
