Davis Family New York City
I am seeking information on brothers Thomas and Theodore Davis. Both are buried in the Davis family plot in Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn.Thomas was born @ 1838 and was killed August 31, 1885.Theodore was born in 1839 or 1840 and died March 14, 1932.Their father was Benjamin Davis who was born @ 1811 and died August 1876and their mother, Mary, was born @ Feb. 1811 or 1812 and died March 1875.Benjamin Davis was born in either Wales or England.According to census records Benjamin was an organ maker.
Both Thomas and Theodore were married and had children. Thomas had several marriages and had chilren by two wives.
Thomas's first marriage was to a Maquire(?) and his second wife was the sister of his first wife.
I am researching the life of the man, Jim Holland, who shot and killed Thomas "Tom" Davis.Theodore Davis was the chief prosecution witness.Theodore appears to have dropped out of sight after the court trial to only reappear at the time of his funeral.
