My fifth great-grandfather, James Lamar (b. abt. 1716, Prince Georges, Maryland; d. 1787, Wilkes County, Georgia), son of Thomas II, had a younger sister, Mary (b. 1718, Maryland; d. 1815, Columbia Co., Georgia), who married Clemetius Davis (b. abt. 1700, Maryland; d. Columbia Co., Georgia). Their daughter, Ruth Davis, married Philip Lamar. Further down the line, Hardy Davis (b. 1796, North Carolina; d. in Georgia) married Rebecca Osborn, sister of Elizabeth Lamar, my third great-grandmother. I believe Hardy Davis is connected to Clemtius Davis and Mary Lamar. I also believe he left North Carolina for Georgia to be with either the Lamar Family or the Davis Family or possibly both.

If anyone can shed light on my theory or any of these folks, I would be most grateful.
