Exie Daniel Davis Lockett and her daughter are living next door to John Bell Davis and his family in 1940 on Old Jackson's Gap to Dadeville Road, Dadeville, Tallapoosa, Alabama. John's son, William Clyde Davis, is also living nearby with his wife and children. This is circumstantial evidence that the John Bell Davis who married Annie Levi Akins and Lillie Estelle Martin is also Exie Daniel Davis' brother and thus the son of John Daniel Davis and Frances Morris Rush. John Bell Davis and Exie Daniel Davis both are listed with their mother, Frances Morris Davis, in the 1880 census of Dadeville, Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Although only their initials are written in that census, the family members, ages, and location, combined with information from the 1860 census, are enough to identify the family.
