Reece Haskel Howard sent me this old photograph, but admitted he knew nothing about the people except that they were identified as George and Penny Davis. Most of the other photos he's submitted have been from the New Salem area of Union Co, NC and the Burnsville area of Anson Co, NC.
I found a George Washington Davis who married Penina Hudson in 1877 in Anson Co. He was the son of John W. Davis and Frances Ellen Caudle of the Polkton/Burnsville area of Anson County, N.C. George was b.Oct 25, 1855 and listed in Anson Co. on the 1860 and 1870 census', but he and Penny had moved to Iredell County, NC by 1880 and were listed next to some Anson Co. Lowthorps that had also moved there. By 1900, this family had moved to Thomasville, Thomas County, Georgia. Records show that George Washington Davis died in 1931 and that Penina Hudson Davis was born in NC about 1858 and died in Thomas Co. on Nov. 6, 1947 at age 89.
Penina was possibly the daughter of
Joshua Hudson & wife
Malinda who were shown on the 1870 census in Anson Co. Mention of this family can be found in the
minutes of Mineral Springs Baptist Church in Anson Co. and also on this list of church
minutes.
Any additional information on these folks would be appreciated! Please send info to: Julie .
