Note: , 1861 at Camp Trousdale. (Reel 303). Also James Davis, F Co., 13th KY, living Lebanon in 1890.
Find him in 1860 census.
!BIRTH: 1850 Wilson co. TN.; Sue How.. She says b'day may have been 4 July 1839. The 1836 date agrees with the 1850 cen.
!DEATH: Sue Howell's Jennings chart says he died of lung ailment contracted during the Civil War.
His will recorded
Guardian papers (Wilson Co., Tenn. Misc. Rec., 1800-1875, p. 81, indicate he's dead by 1873. James P. Harrison is appointed guardian of Walter, Maggie, Sam'l. & Sarah Davis, the children of James E. Davis, dec'd., & Sam'l Davis, dec'd. Recorded 25 Jan., 1875, p.618-9. Widow's one-year allotment recorded 20 Oct., 1870, seems to indicate he died on or prior to 19 Sept., 1870.
An inventory of his estate, which is actually a list of his depts, is recorded on p. 382, 24 Jan., 1871. Don't know what book. I have a copy. He owed money for 40 lbs. or more of beef, keg of nails, and several other things.
!LIFE: Loose paper I have labeled Davis Doc., apparently from the Mt. Juliet library in 1991 states:
James Everett Davis was a Pvt. in Company D, 45th TN Infantry. Enlisted 12 Dec., 1861 at Camp Trousdale. (Reel # 303) Was 26 years old. The writer says "I cannot recall ... all the details contained in his record. (my son has all my records at his home in Colton, Calif.) I am sure he died very shortly after his discharge from the war."
Another note I have, source unknown, says that a James Davis, who was living in Wilson co. in 1890, served in F Co., 13th KY Reg. from '63 to '65. Could this be the same person?
!CENSUS: He's not on 1870 census, although Ann is, with 3 month old baby.
1860-Haven't found him in it yet.
Note: !SEARCH: Find Conderate records for James E. Davis, Company D, 45th TN Inf. Enlisted 12 Dec.
