There was a family rumour that we had Welsh blood so when I saw Phoebe and Enoch Davis I knew I was onto a winner, and yes, the rumour was true.

Hello Sandra, I haven't delved into the siblings yet, but when I do, I will look at the information you've found for me, what a lovely obituary for Levi ❤️ I can look at Clements army records too now.

Many thanks
