Notes: Though family history says theory was 2 children ( Gertrude and Lonnie ) born to catherine before Jennie Davis, no actual proof of this has been found. However , it is possibly now that we know the marriage date of Catherine and James Henry Davis was 1877 and Jennie was born in 1881.Perhaps Will Ns Kate was not married at all. There is a conflict regarding Kate’s Marriage to Will Irvin(Irwin). According to records in Bandera co TX, she was married to James Davis 1/29/1877, Willie Irvin , her daughter , is shown to have been born in 1878 on her (WILLIE"S) death certificate. If Kate was married to Will Irvin prior to James Davis, Willie’s date of birth must be incorrect, but why would her name be listed as McDonald on the marriage license to James Davis? Perhaps Kate and Will were not married at all. Also a witness to the marriage License of Kate’s sister , Sarah in bandera co, TX was a D. P, Irwin. Is he a connection to Will Irvin? Will Irvin was born in Texas???Kate was married to James Henry Masoner-Davis ( son of Henry Masoner & Lucinda Castle) on 1/29/1877 in Bandera co TX. Married by Joseph Dial, Minster of Gospel. James H Masoner-Davis was born in 14856 in TN. He died Aug/Sep 1884 in Bandera co Texas. Family history says he killed a man in Idian territory after an argument . And fled to Bandera co, Texas where he changed his name to Davis ( his stepfather was Robert Davis) , but there is no proof of this and the story possibly pertains to relative, his nephew , Richard aka Charles Matthew Scott. James Henry May have left Montague County in 1875 before the court case mentioned below. James supposedly died of anthrax contracted while dipping sheep, 3 months after his son Ben Lee was born.Katie Married Charles "Charlie" A. Freeze was born in 1867 in Alb.
