William Reece Davis was born in Seneca, Newton county, MO on May 12, 1888 to Ransom Cornelius (1858-1924) & Nancie Isabelle Overstreet Davis (1869-1903). Bill was the 1st of three children: William Reece (1888), Mary Frances (1894) and Lenard Cornelius (1901).

In 1900 we find Bill living with his family in what is now Twp. 27 N, Range 24 E, Wyandotte, Ottawa county, OK. It was then the Quapaw Agency, Wyandotte Nation, Indian Territory, where his dad was working as a hostler, maybe for the railroad, or for himself.

In 1910 Bill is working as farm laborer and living in Afton, Ottawa county, OK. It is believed William Reese Davis married Anna Phelps Gould sometime between 1917 and 1920. The year of 1920 finds him married to Anna Davis and living in Willow Springs, Howell county, MO with Elmer, Theo and Forrest, working as a fireman for the railroad. The 1925 KS state census finds Bill, Anna, Theo and Forrest living in Wichita, Sedgwick county, KS with Bill working as a fireman at the roundhouse for the railroad.

We next find Bill, Anna and Theo living in Wichita, Sedgwick county, KS in 1930, with Bill working as a concrete contractor. In 1940, Bill and Anna are in Greenland Twp., Washington county, AK, and Bill was working as a laborer. The census indicates his home in 1935 is rural Wichita, Sedgwick county, KS.

Bill Davis was a stepfather to Anna Gould Davis's kids, Cleve, Elmer, Grace, Theo, Forrest and baby aka "Howard" (John David Batchelder FAG#10416339 ). Anna Jane Phelps Gould Davis was born on March 15, 1874 and died on March 26, 1942. After Anna passed away Bill went to California and lived near his sister, Mary Frances Davis Dickerson and her family. Bill passed away on March 18, 1956 in San Bernardino county, CA and was buried in the San Jacinto Valley Cemetery, San Jacinto, Riverside county, CA.
