1883 Marriage

Name Alexander Walton

Spouse's Name Flora E. Davis

Event Date 26 Sep 1883

Event Place Ashe County, North Carolina^[1]

1883-1920

See Alexander's profile for additional information.

1923-1941

After Alexander's death (and obviously sometime before hers) Flora moved to West Virginia. Her DC notes that she "lived with son". I know it wasn't with any of the older sons (David died in 1934, 1940 censuses located for James, Wiley & George.) That leaves the youngest son Cary. For some reason, I have not been able to find any records for Flora or Cary through this period.
