Is there anyone else in the Davis family that knows this "Davis family oral history", or are you the only one privey to it?

The next day Thuysen Davis came to see Jefferson and now two Davis' know about the wedding. Thuysen caused an argument between Jefferson and Abraham and Abraham returned to Springfield after one day in New Orleans.

I'm very skeptical about this. I don't suppose there is another non "Davis family oral history" source that could verify any of this; is there?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?
