Comments

Thank you Mr. Gill, for your great work you did. There is a mystery left open on this end, My Grandfather is, was Charlie Scott, son of Cooper Burt Scott. But i can't seem to find anything on him being their son. He died when my Dad was three years old. He was born 1885 and died in 1928. He left Ganiesville, Ga. Moved to Mississippi Changed his last name to" Davis". He married my Granny Norine Pierson, i am really confused. Can you tell me how i can find out something on this. Thank you Karen.

Don't know if this is the Charlie Scott you are looking for. There were a number of men named Charlie Scott who were born in GA in 1885.

Do you know the approximate year that Charlie changed his surname to Davis and or where he was living at the time?

Did he marry Norine Pierson in GA or MS? Do you have the marriage year, and possibly the county and city?

Do you know the cemetery he and his wife were buried in?
