About Me

My photo
Just to tell you a little about myself, my name is Vickie and I was born and raised in Kentucky. The majority of my ancestors have been in Kentucky since the 1790’s. I have always loved history, a good mystery and puzzles and that is what Family History Research is all about. As a child we would take day trips on Saturdays and head down some dirt road looking for old cemeteries. A lot of the time we weren't looking for anyone in particular, we just like to read the epitaphs. We would have a picnic lunch packed and have lunch at whatever cemetery we were at. If the weather was bad my Dad and I would go to a courthouse and dig through old records in musty old basements looking for our ancestors. So as you can see I have had an interest in Family History for quite some time.

Robert Hosey Davis, 1825-1902


Robert Hosey Davis, my 3rd great-grandfather from my Mom's side of the family.  He was born in 1825 in Wayne County, North Carolina and he died in 1902 in Texas City, Saline County, Illinois.  He was with 5 different women over the years.  I have found marriage dates for 3 of the five.  He also had at least 13 known children.
