---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been Working on the Davis family of Shelby County Kentucky since 2002. I was asked to do research. I am not related to this family. However; I have extensive research. I have over three hundred pictures. I have travel to Shelby County, Jefferson County, Mulhenburg County, Henry County, Oldham County Kentucky and Macon Missouri County. I still am working very hard on the Family.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have plans for Oklahoma in Oct 2007 and I am also planning to return to Shelby County the second weekend in September 2007. I plan on recording more information from the Pleasureville Cemetery in Henry County Kentucky.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you wish to Contribute in my blog about this family please do so. Especially Family members. I have over 1500 hundred names and over 500 pictures.
