No, I doubt I have any
Davis kin in Lamesa. I have
Davis ancestors in
Northeast Texas. They came from
Georgia in 1837 to Red River/Bowie County,
Texas. The
Davis family I get my last name is from the Blue
Ridge mountains of
North Carolina. They have been in
North Carolina since the 1700's. My children are the 1st not to be born in the Carolina's since the 1700's. Lucky for me that my Mother moved from
Oklahoma to the Carolina's during WWII. After a few years my Mother moved us back to Okla. where we were raised. I now live in NE
Texas.
Regarding the
Wristen family in the Lamesa area. They descend from Albert
Clay Wristen & Nancy Elizabeth
Lackey. They were from the
Fannin County,
Texas area in the 1800's. My connection is through the
Lackey family. Nancy Elizabeth
Lackey Wristen's Father and my G.G. Grandmother Mary Ann
Lackey Coplen were siblings.
If you talk to any of the
Wristen in your area, please have them contact me. I have their family researched to the 1930's but know very little after that. Their family migrated from
Fannin County in the late 1800's and mine migrated to the
Oklahoma Indian territory West of
Fort Smith,
Ark.
