A Descendant of Jefferson Davis?

April 5, 2019

When I was a child, I found a history of the Davis family in my mother's den.

The book recounted stories of several generations of the Davis family. It included pictures.

The book culminated in a discussion of Jefferson Davis, who was President of the Confederate States during the Civil War.

Was my father a descendant of Jefferson Davis?

I plan to do his genealogy this year to find out for sure.

Newsie in New Jersey

April 5, 2019

My father told me in 2000, when I was doing a life history interview with my mother, that he delivered newspapers in the Quincy Street neighborhood where he lived with his mother and stepfather.

When he was 12, he won a trip to New Jersey from his employer. He traveled alone on a train to Philadelphia, then to New Jersey. I believe he said he went to Atlantic City.
