December 14, 2011 at 11:25 pm
You are welcome. I have quite a bit of information and pictures of my Davis family.

I am in Waterloo, Iowa until after the first of the year. Then I promised Ruth Morgan (Wesley's daughter) that I will come to Jackson Co. and bring what I have. I would love to share with you what I have. How are you related to Cy and Martha Davis?
December 14, 2011 at 11:48 pm
I am still trying to connect some dots. Is the Martha in this picture the daughter of Chesley and Mary Cook Purkey ?
December 15, 2011 at 10:16 am
Yes, she is. I have a picture of her and her mother, Mary Cook Purkey together. When I get home, I can share these pictures with you.
December 15, 2011 at 11:07 am
Mary Cook Purkey's father is G.W. Cook. His mother and her mother is Martha Melvina Royston. G.W. Cook's dad is Michael Cook and his mother is Mary Radar cook, if I am correct.
December 15, 2011 at 11:17 am
Yes, that is the same information that I have. I also have a copy of some papers from G.W. Cook about his remedies for all kinds of illness that he used when treating people. It is very interesting. I got it from some of our Purkey relativies here in Jackson County.
December 15, 2011 at 7:57 pm
I would enjoy seeing that, very much.
December 16, 2011 at 11:26 am
G.W. Cook was a Doctor as was his son "Green Monroe Cook.
December 16, 2011 at 12:27 pm
I remember my Grandma talking about "Uncle Green"
December 16, 2011 at 5:08 pm
Irene, I looked at these pictures and I did recognize seeing some of them from Mom Davis Allen's pictures. I am glad you remember who they were. That is interesting. Nannie Davis Allen is also for my grandma.
January 7, 2012 at 6:19 pm
Kim, I would really enjoy seeing the remedies that Doc Cook used. He was my grandparents neighbor and they knew him well. My father was the last baby he delivered. Can you post them on here or message them to me?
January 7, 2012 at 6:38 pm
BJ, your Dad was Walter Baldwin, wasn't he?
January 7, 2012 at 11:17 pm

December 10, 2011 at 11:30 pm
I thought it was Purkey, but many of the photo's had it written spelled Parkey, which may be a mistake.
December 10, 2011 at 11:33 pm

December 13, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Where was this picture taken ?
December 13, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Thank you, Kim. I remember my grandma Ellen Davis Morgan telling us about some of them, maybe all of them. I wish I had written down all the family stories. She called Susan McQueen her brown eye
December 13, 2011 at 7:46 pm
sister, even though they were first cousins and later close neighbors again. I remember visiting Susie.
December 13, 2011 at 7:48 pm
I remember her house so well and really miss being able to see it now. It was a special place to the whole family. She was the sweetest person but she had a stubborn streak too. LOL
December 13, 2011 at 7:51 pm
Love the photo...most of the "old" photos have no facial detail. Do not recognize anybody :-(
December 14, 2011 at 9:09 pm
I recognized Viney McQueen, Wesley Morgan and Susie McQueen. Do any of you remember the wooden horse that Susie had on her front porch? I used to go with my grandma (susie's neice) to visit, and I loved to "ride" that horse.
December 17, 2011 at 12:23 am
Susie is my great grandmother and I know the wooden horse very well. It was my favorite thing about going to Grandma McQueen's house. There has been many children's pictures taken sitting on the horse including mine when I was about 2.
December 17, 2011 at 12:27 am
Thank you both for sharing those memories. I'm glad I put these photos out. I just put another batch up if you get a chance, run throught them and tell me anything you know about any of them. Thanks again.
December 17, 2011 at 12:29 am
I remember having my picture made on that horse, but I don't know where the picture is now. Tony, I will look at your new photos. I appreciate so much your sharing these with us.
December 17, 2011 at 12:33 am

December 17, 2011 at 12:33 am
If you have any other pictures, I would enjoy seeing them.
December 17, 2011 at 12:40 am

December 14, 2011 at 8:34 pm

December 14, 2011 at 9:42 pm

December 14, 2011 at 11:06 pm
She was my grandma's grandmother, and she was the one that named me when I was born. She died when I was 3.
December 30, 2011 at 9:46 am
December 9, 2011 at 11:15 pm
who is this?
December 10, 2011 at 10:54 pm
Thanks for sharing. I have a copy of this picture. Love this picture and my imagination starts rolling--- I was thinking this looks like a picture after a big Sunday dinner or maybe it was taken at one of the Purkey reunions.
December 11, 2011 at 8:07 pm
This was taken 3 y3ars before her death in 1943. Do you know the names. I don't know if it is her children, their names were Martha, George, John, Green, Levi, Vina, Susan.
December 11, 2011 at 8:26 pm
Yes that's her children. Susan was my Great grandmother. She married Tom McQueen my great grandfather.
December 11, 2011 at 11:14 pm
This picture was taken in the parking lot of Greenhill Baptist Church. You can see the bank in the curve in the background.
December 11, 2011 at 11:19 pm
The one on the far right is Vina. We called her Viney. Went to church with her when I was a child at Bond. She is in one of my wedding pictures taken there.
December 12, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Mary Purkey was my grandmother's, grandmother. I see Grandma Davis (Martha) in this picture, as well as Aunt Susie McQueen and alsok Viney. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing.
December 17, 2011 at 12:11 am
I didn't know Viney was Susie and Tom McQueens daughter. She went by McQueen...wonder if she never married...or she may have been divorced.
December 30, 2011 at 12:01 am
Viney was Susie's sister.
December 30, 2011 at 12:03 am
She married a McQueen. They had several children. Do you remember Minerva (Nervie) and her daughter Josie?
December 30, 2011 at 12:04 am
I think I do...they used to walk down through Bond. Who was Viney and Susie's parents?
December 30, 2011 at 12:07 am
Chesley Purkey and Mary Cook Purkey. They lived at Green Hill in the house Susie McQueen later lived in.
December 30, 2011 at 12:09 am
She lived in the log house that was torn down. I hope they saved those logs. Was Mary related to Doc Cook?
December 30, 2011 at 12:11 am
Sue Huff sold the cabin to some people at McKinley Bottoms in Russell County. We would have bought it if we had known it was for sale. Mary Cook Purkey was a daughter of Dr. GW Cook.
December 30, 2011 at 3:14 am
Keith was the house originally built by G.W. Cook ? or did Chesley and Mary first build it ?
December 30, 2011 at 11:05 am
I think it was GW Cook.
December 30, 2011 at 12:21 pm
December 9, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Love this one!
December 10, 2011 at 9:10 am

Arch (A.F.) was Albert Baldwin's Father. (Alfred, Litha, Bertha, Datha, Arch,Willie, Martha and Albert (I think thats the way they pictured)
December 10, 2011 at 12:05 pm
I can't believe how plain this picture has turned out to be after this many many years.
December 13, 2011 at 11:43 am
Well I have done a bit of re-touch on most of them, there were a couple really bad ones that were almost unrecognizable, but the power of the computer helped a bit. LOL
December 13, 2011 at 2:21 pm
December 9, 2011 at 11:15 pm
