I believe Jeff was the six child born to HT Davis and Elizabeth Holmes, they married 8 Jan 1880 in Catahoula. On the 1900 Cherokee County Census we find Jeff a baby living with his five other brothers and sisters, his father who is 41 years old and step-mother Amelia who is 19 years old.
We next find Jeff and Ida Mae on the 1940 Harris County Census living with their children:
Household Role Gender Age Birthplace
Jeff Davis Head M 40 Texas
Ida Mae Davis Wife F 38 Texas
Mary Francis Davis Daughter F 13 Texas
William Taylor Davis Son M 4 Texas
Suggested edit: I'm not sure who manages this memorial or who made the notes on here...I know the mother is in question, but I match DNA (through Ancestry) with his great grandson and Amelia is my relative (not the father Henry), so Amelia would be his mother based on the DNA testing.
FYI
Thanks
