Bio
From Contributor Jeff Gonyea on his Find a Grave profile, which also reflects my feelings:
We don't "own" the memorials we manage - they are not ours. We may create them, we may update them, we may transfer them to others - we are but stewards. They are Find A Grave memorials of human beings, departed. They are not "friends" on a social media network website to be collected like baseball trading cards. And there's no prize for the one who dies with the most.
The reward (for me) comes from maintaining the most accurate and dignified memorials I can. What we record becomes history, and a record in someone else's family tree. We have a responsibility to do a good job of it. It's a privilege and honor."
I am a descendant of William T and Lucy Morgan Davis who immigrated to Williamson County, Illinois from Virginia in about 1832. I'm trying to learn all I can about each of their eight sons: Thomas, Mordecai, Jesse, Daniel, Christopher, William, John and Francis.
