There were many entries for James DAVIS, many of which were lacking county or watershed making it impossible to tell if they might be our subject.  Of the records naming a watershed, none was the West Fork of Red River, or even Red River.  Two records, however, clearly apply to our subject because they mention subject's father-in-law, Abraham MILLER.
