  Notes	It appears that Albert N. Davis and Sylvia C. Cooper separated or divorced soon after their 1921 marriage. In the 1930 Census, he was enumerated in Lincoln County, Oklahoma with three sons from his first marriage, while she was still in Greenbrier District, Doddridge County, with her children from her first marriage. In 1930 Albert gave his marital status as widowed, while Sylvia's was indicated as married. She retained the.Davis surname.
