SMITH: I was born in McCamey, Upton County, TX in 1948. I am wanting to find all I can about my birthplace. I was delivered in a hospital there and there were two Drs. who were brothers. The one that was my mother's Dr. was out of town and the other brother delivered me. For one reason or another, I was not recroded in the birth records and at the age of 20 received a delayed birth certificate. My father worked for Shell Pipeline Corp. and shortly after my birth, we moved to Bakersfield, I think near Iraan. At the age of four, we moved to Midkiff and I attended my first 9 years of school at Big Lake (Reagan Co., ISD). If anyone has information about McCamey, or knows where the camp for Shell Pipeline was, I would be delighted. My husband and I are going to make a trip to McCamey this spring break. I want to see where I came from. Thanks, Darla Smith Rohan.  drohan@home.com

DAVIS, Alfred Clayton Wednesday, January 07, 2004 12:39 PM
DAVIS: OK this is a long shot. FIL says he was born in McCamey TX in 1904. McCamey did not exist until 1925 so--I am wondering if by chance he might just have lived there. Anyway the family I am looking for is James Edward DAVIS who married Sarah Elizabeth _____. I believe her last name to be HARBER --might not be. Sarah Elizabeth would have either died or they divorced abt 1912-1913. James Edward DAVIS and Sarah Elizabeth had A. C. (Alfred Clayton) DAVIS who m Lillian Orr WATSON AND Goldie TAYLOR, Beatrice E. who m Burl TAYLOR, Gertrude M. who m Jack PROCTOR, Nora D. who m Joe DUTY, and Herman who m Fleta ___. James Edward DAVIS married again to Minnie Mae Spurlin SIMS 1913. They went to jail for Bigamy -- her divorce was not final when they got married. I have James Edward DAVIS' line I need to find his 1st wifes name for she is my husbands grandmother whom he never knew that also leads me to believe that Sarah Elizabeth died. Census says Sarah Elizabeth's father was b CA. Any help whould be very appreciated to knock any holes in my BIG brickwall. TIA Glitz E-mail to  bumbebul@cnbcom.net
