James Thomas Davis
November 23th 1866 – February 25th 1904
James Thomas Davis was born on November 23rd in Robbinsville, North Carolina. He is understood to be the father of both Etta and Cena Davis but there is no hard evidence of this. The mother was Leutica Carver. It is unknown whether James Davis had a relationship with these children. But Etta always said James Davis was her father.
​
I currently have not seen any photos of James Thomas Davis. It is unknown if one still exists today.
​
James Davis married Mahala Jane "Billie" Cooper on Jan 14th 1889 in Robbinsville. They had six children. They stayed married until his death in 1904. He is buried several feet away from his parents and the Carver family; consisting of Leutica, Azor, and Lucinda Carver.
