Research Progress

A listing in 1860 United States Federal Census Record that was previously listed for this individual[32] has been proven to be a different individual due to the fact that individual was the daughter of Joseph T. DAVIS and his wife, Harriett. This was shown in additional census record for that family in the 1850 United States Federal Census Record.[33] Unless the established parentage of George M. DAVIS and Mary Ann SPROUSE is incorrect, these two listings could not be the same as the profiled individual.

Josephine's death record did not state a date of birth nor the names of her parents.
