Worthless, but entertaining

[SSlater]

Sometimes my research provides me with an unusual fact, such as this -
Confederate Lt. Samuel Boyer Davis was in Canada when The Saint Albans Raiders were on trial, he left Canada to go to Richmond to get papers to prove that the Raiders were on a Military Mission - the papers would save their lives. Unfortunately, he was captured in Ohio, Tried, and condemned to death. However, Lincoln changed the Sentence to Jail time for the duration of the war. (Sarah Slater eventually went on this same trek to Richmond and saved the Raiders.)
Lt.Davis lived through the war and married. He and his wife had 4 children, one of whom was Alonzo Bertrand Davis. When the time came, he married Caroline Calvert Stuart in King George County, VA Daughter of Dr. Richard H. Stuart.
Small world, isn't it.
