• Notes

  He was a PVT in CO B 2nd SC Rifles during the Civil War in South Carolina. He moved to Limestone County, AL about 1871. Thompson Davis owned 51 acres of land at Estaville Post Office, Sand Springs, Limestone County, AL where he had horses, cattle and goats, and grew cotton and tobacco. He also had some timber. He remained a farmer all of his life. He was a small, quiet man. He had a little workshop some 60 or 80 feet below the house and he wove baskets --small ones, more egg basket type, as a hobby. He split the canes, wove the baskets, and gave them to people and maybe sold some.
