Looking for infomation on WARREN DAVIS, who was police chief of Nichols, GA
or maybe a nearby town. He lived in Nichols and is buried on his property,
(I'm not sure who currently owns it maybe another decendent) along with his
three wives. Two of the wives were sisters, IRENE EDENFIELD was the mother
of nine of his twelve children (including my grandfather also named Warren)
and HILLIE EDENFIELD was the mother of his youngest child. Both supposedly
died from complications following childbirth.
We don't know where WARREN DAVIS came from. The story passed down
has been that his father was a Civil War soldier and was on leave when
WARREN was conceived. Warren's father returned to the War and never
returned. It is not even known that Warren's parents were married. His
mother later married a DR. HALL and Warren was raised by him - I don't know
if there were any other children born to his mother with DR. HALL.

My GGF James Edward McGlothern [many variants], came from Scotland. He
owned a farm near Hazlehurst, served in conf. forces, wounded, later
died from the wounds. He married Roxey Britt, possibly a Cherokee woman,
they had a son James Edward, Jr. b. 1865, left home when about 13 years
old. His father had died, his mother remarried. James Edward Jr. later
changed his name to Griffin Edward McGlothern, married Laura Othelia
Webb in Appling Co. Griffin and his family moved to Santa Rosa County in 1903. I have been able to trace my GM [Laura] but thus far nothing about my GGF. The above was told to me by older cousins, who heard it from
Griffin Edward. I have been unable to verify anything other than
Griffin's marriage to Laura Othelia Webb. Two men used to come to his
farm in Santa Rosa Co., Fla. whose names were, Gordon Wells, and John
Britt. Those men were from someplace near Hazlehurst. I have most of the
family data in the Fla. areas that I will be glad to share with anyone
there who would want it.
