To Patte Wood and all Davis researchers

Povall Carter II married Martha Davis in 1790, a daughter of William Davis and
Elizabeth Davis of Cumberland/Powhatan County.  Povall and Martha  moved to
Prince Edward County about 1800/1801.   They had a son Wilson Carter who
married Sarah Davis of Cumberland County in 1815.  Sarah was a daughter of
Jesse Davis and Elizabeth Guthrey.  I haven't been able to find Jesse's parents
or his siblings.  I expect he was the Jese who was excummunicated in 1789 from
the Bethlehem Baptist Church according to Reverend Rene Chastain's notes.  He
also noted that Elezibeth Guttry was gone from the membership of the Buckingham
Baptist Church..  Elizabeth Guthrey was a daughter of Alexander Guthery.  It is
possible that Jesse Davis went first to Powhatan County and settled in
Cumberland County and later in Lynchburg Virginia.where he had some kind of
tobacco related business.
I haven't been able to built a bridge between my Davises and your set of
Davises or of James Carter and my Carters. .
