Comments: My name is Curtis Troy Davis. Very impressed with your website. I hope to learn and am very eager to find out more!!! With my last name of Davis, I turn to my mothers maiden name to learn my past. I will tell you what I have heard around the campfire, from my mother & grandmother and who these people are and where they lived. Please contact me ASAP if any of this info is familiar!!!

My name: Curtis Troy Davis. My sister: Heidi Davis Son & Daughter of Curt & Ladora Davis

My Mother: (maiden Name) LaDora Plemons was born: Cortez,CO December 14, 1945

Daughter of Louie & Pauline Plemons...lived in Cortez & Durango CO

My mothers siblings include: Margaret, Roy, Louise & Dixie.

Passed from what I heard from my mother & Grandmother:

Louie Plemmons came from a very prosperous family in the South. I remember distinctly about a story my grandmother telling me of a distant Plemons who was a Texas Ranger, killed a man, and fled to first Oklahoma, then Colorado. I have also recently learned from my mother that the Plemons family pre Civil War had a huge servent owning Plantation in Geogia. After the Civil War, the Plantation was burned to the ground and the family was left with nothing. Again I hope to learn more. My mother has many old photo's of our Plemons roots that I would love to share. I would love to put you in contact with her. Please contact me: troydavis81@hotmail.com

My mother's maiden name is Plemmons( Faye Sue). She's currently 80 yrs old born 6 Feb1920 -suffering from Alzheimer's- and I would love to find out more of her family history. I understand you have a newsletter re: Plemmons. If so, I'd love to see it.

My family and I have really enjoyed your "BRANCHES". My father was DAVID WESLEY PLEMMONS 1899-1982 born in OK, Indian Territory. My Grandfather was JOE WESLEY PLEMMONS. I am told Grandad's family came from near Johnson City, TN to near Marlow, OK.

My two sons Duane Stacy Plemmons (now living in Singapore with Hewlett-Packard) and Kerry Buford Plemmons of Littleton, CO are very interested in family history. I never knew of any of my Grandad's family.

(Thanks Buford, for the letter and the generous donation to help us defray the cost of "BRANCHES". Warren and Joe)

I just finished reading Branches Summer-2000 My oh My What great information. I appreciate the hard detail work that is being done.

I just recently returned from McGregor, Texas where I attended my 45^th High School reunion. On the Sunday morning I went to Shilo Bap Church at Ocee, Texas.

I lost the address of the church, and hope Fred Nelson will send it to you.

This is a church the Plemons either started or helped keep going. I can remember as a boy going out there and having dinner on the grounds. Eating and singing and preaching all day long. The old cover is still there, but they have a beautiful church now. I knew that Dwight Plemons attended there and hope that some of the other kin might be there. And had some small hope that I might be able to speak that day at the service, but they were ordaining a deacon and installing two more. This is an indicator of a strong church. But as I got there and introduced myself I was escorted back to the Sunday School class by Dwight and the teacher was a Larry Plemons and everywhere I turned there was a plemons.

So what I would like for you to do after you get the address from Fred, is to send a copy of Branches to the church, ( if you have some extra back copies send too) At the church the families can decide to write you and share more info.

I took pictures of J.T. and Dicy's Grave as well as Charlie and Mary Plemons Walter ( my grandparents) I hope they took. I am having two copies made for your review. Will send to Joe and then he can share. They can be used as you see fit.

Many of Mary's children are buried in the Crawford Cemetery. Fred's Mother and Father is buried there. She was Martha sister to my mother Jeanetta K.

With the last copy of Branches, I made a lot of corrections to my file. Would it help to send you a new package. It is no trouble to send it via email.

All those on the front page are in my file. I changed Samuel to John and Sarah and moved Andrew to Harriet. That was quite a chase to correct that one.

We had a Whisenat in McGregor when I grew up, he was the choir director at the College Ave. Baptist Church.

I also have a copy of the picture of Dicy and the children. Has anyone found out who her parents are? I went to a Chastain family reunion in Houston one time. they are some might fine folks.

Calvin Dorris is very good at searching for details. He provided me with a lot of help.

I found Bruce's account very interesting and help me correct some connections I had.
