Much of this is verified in Clinton Vital Records although we know there was a sixteenth child who should have been a twin to an earlier birth. Harriet was supposed to have had sixteen children including three sets of twins but I've never been able to verify the second and third set of twins. Many of the Davis family are buried in Springdale Cemetery in Clinton. The family lived at 109 2nd Street for over sixty years.
