$32.00

This detailed family history is the result of the author's search for information about the ancestors of his mother, Zora "Eileene" Davison Pippenger, through her mother, Velma Pearl Allen (1902-1990), and her father, Chester Leland Davison (1901-1991). The included pedigree chart traces Zora's ancestors back to James Davison (c.1773-c.1852) and Catherine (perhaps Long), Ausburn Ridgeway (c.1770-1841) and Jane Phelps, Thomas Allen (c.1800-c.1893) and Lucy (perhaps Bell), Samuel Robinson Hicks (1820-1867) and Grizell Ann Brison (1825-1865), Joab Lewis (1833-1886) and Martha Ann Kelley (c.1834-d. before 1866), and, Watson M. Adair (c.1824-d. before 1858) and Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Sweazea (c.1828-1868).

The author has provided a wealth of genealogical information as well as varying amounts of biographical information. Chapters are devoted to the following families: Allen, Hicks, Lewis, Adair, Sweazea, Bigger, Davison, and Ridgeway. Numerous photographs, facsimile reprints of original documents, a bibliography, and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.
