I'm trying to track down my roots, but I'm having the worst time. My great grandmother always told us she was the granddaughter of Jefferson Davis, but I can't find any record of her. Her mother was Minnie Belle Davis. Minnie Belle married Horace Lindley(sp?) Wimp. Among their children was my great grandmother, Mary Francis Wimp. My great grandmother use to tell stories about growing up on the Davis plantation in what is now Ohio/Daviess county Kentucky. She remembered living in a slave house and that her grandfather (Jefferson Davis) had not been happy with her mother for loving a 'carpet bagger'. Can anyone help me find any information about this?
