Davis, Henry Idris - Letter

Jenkin Davis is the only child of Titus and Mary Davis to remain in Wales with his mother. Jenkin's older brother David was serving as a missionary in Wales at the time his father and other siblings (except for Jenkin) left for America. The plan was that when David was released from his mission to emigrate he would bring his little brother Jenkin and their mother with him. David came alone. Family members were never again reunited.

Thanks to Elease King (eleasek@q.com) for sending the Henry Idris Davies letter and the very fine update of the Titus and Mary Bowen Davis biography.
