Thank you for your reply. After searching for some months I found a message about Pearl Nora Davis. I was pretty sure this was my grandfather's sister. He used the last name Tenney although my Mom was told he was really a Davis. Pearl's son through the SS office found out the Pearl's parents were Claude Leo Davis and Sarah Catherine Kennedy. Sara was from Elk County PA. I found a Claude Davis living as a boarder in St. Marys in Elk County in the 1900's. What made me believe that Claude was Clinton Davis's son was he stated on the census his parents were from New York and someone's family tree (The Bruce Family Tree on ancestry.com) has his father as Clinton Davis and C. Shearman or Sherman from Chautauqua Co and that he was married to Sarah Catherine Kennedy from Elk Co. PA. It also said he was born in Tidioute, PA. in 1876 or 1877.

It must be a mistake and it is a different Claude Davis. The one thing I know for sure is that Pear Nora and John Ransom Davis are brother and sister. Her son from Kansas is coming to visit this Friday and we will compare notes. He had a picture of my grandfather when he was about eighteen and I had one when he was about 35 and it is the same man.

I think how they ended up with the Tenney's is that Victoria Tenney was a Hartman from Elk Co. PA and Sarah Kennedy Davis's mother was Mary Hartman from the same county.

Thank you for any help you can provide. I really do appreciate it.
