About Maggie Pearl (Benbow) Davis

The census records for 1920 and 1930 show daughter Nellie and her family living with Dennie L and Maggie. The 1920 census shows son Denny P Davis living with them; the P stands for Paul, and some records show that as his name.

Margaruite Is a non-standard spelling but that is what’s on her grave marker. Her death certificate says Margret. More common would be Marguerite and most common Margaret. "Maggie" works for all.
