• Name	Minerva Davis
  Birth	Abt 1871	Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
  date according to the 1880 census (if this is the correct person)
  Gender	Female
  Census	1880	Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana
  age 9, at home, born in Louisiana; father born in Alabama, mother in Louisiana
  Death	Aft 20 Jan 1910	Louisiana
  Notes	She was a free woman of color. According to family history, she was from Plaquemines Parish. This may be her, then, on the 1880 census in the parish's 10th Ward (and I trace down her family based on this theory). She was employed in the DeGrange household as a domestic servant, where she met her husband George Edward. She passed away at a relatively young age, and her husband put their four children in an orphanage run by the Sisters of the Holy Family. Her death date is taken from the birth date of her son Henry.
