Per The attached link from the California US Death Index (1949-1997) Walter's Mothers Maiden name is Beeshore, so Charles Nelson Davis and Martha Jane (Carpenter) Davis cannot be his parents.

Charles and Martha's son Walter H Davis lived with his Mother-in-law for several years, and the children do not match either as can be seen in the following links.
