It is not known why this is not consistent. It appears from examining the actual microfilm that "Alabama" and "Georgia" were crossed through. Also noted that seven year old Watter M was shown as a male on the microfilm and on the transcription below, but in the Toole and Speights transcription, the 7 year old child was instead listed as Mattie M, female.

Lela Wyatt's 100 Years Celebration Saturday at Twin Lakes
Lela Davidson Wyatt celebrates her One Hundredth birthday Saturday, January 18, 1997. [Assumed Saturday, January 18 was chosen to celebrate because it was a weekend, according to the SSDI, Lela's actual date of birth was January 18, 1897.]
Her friends and famiy are invited to come out to Twin Lakes Care Center between 2:00 and 4:00 that afternoon to share in this celebration.
Lela has had a very interesting life. She taught school for 41 years. She graduated from Huntsville Teacher's Normal that is now known as Sam Houston State Southwest Texas Teacher's College and Stephen F. Austin State University where she received her BA and MA. Her first degree was handed to her by Lyndon B. Johnson. Her first experience in teaching was in 1912-1913 at the age of 16. She was chosen by the community to take the teacher's exam. She was awarded a teacher's certificate to teach in Sabine County. Her salary was $37.50 per month and she paid $7.00 for her room and board per month to Mr. and Mrs. Hamp Pratt.
Some of the places she taught were Pratt, Lowe's Chapel (Allen Old Mill), Milam, Camp Springs, New Hope, Spring Hill, Mt. Nebo, Henry Hill, Shady Grove, Grange Hall, Denning, Black Jack and Diboll, where she taught 17 years before retiring. After retiring she still worked as a substitute and then at the Lively Furniture. She has always been active in her church, First Baptist of Lufkin where she lived from 1946-1991.
Lela was born in 1897 in Milam, Texas to Calvin and Della Davidson. She was the oldest of 8 children. The family home still stands in Milam under the big oak tree where a lot of memories were made. She has one sister, Ivy Kirk of Houston, still living. She has a daughter, Dorothy Chandler of New Braunfels, a step-daughter Alice Dillon of Nacogdoches, a step-son, Henry Wyatt of Nacogdoches, 3 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.
At her retirement dinner, a brother said it best when he quoted from Margurite Stanley about what he attributed her long life: "She has achieved success because she has lived well, laughed often, and loved much. She has gained the confidence and respect of Godly men and pure women and the love of little children. She has filled her niche in life and accomplished her task. She has made the world better than she found it by her devotion to duty and her consecrated life. Surely we can say of her life is an inspiration and her memory will be a benedicition."
Lela still enjoys her family and friends coming by to see her. She says her memory is not as good as it used to be, but what can you expect after 100 years? She resides now at Twin Lakes Care Center where she is one of the official greeters as you come to visit.

Never married. When Napolean Mason of Sabine County, applied for a Confederate Pension, he stated that he served in the C. S. A. , Company I, 1rst Texas Regiment, Infantry as a private. He made his application on July 9, 1909 before County Judge J. H. McGown and witnesses W R Davidson and T B Davidson. They both testified that they served in the same company with Mr. Mason.
Per "1850 Census Sabine County, Texas with added Family Information and Corrections," William Madison Davidson owned 16 slaves. Per OLDTIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS he fought along with his son-in-law Amazia Vardeman White in Company F, 11th Texas Infantry. He died on the way home, somewhere near Marshall, and the irony of it was that he volunteered after he was past the age of 55, in anothers place, in exchange for a slave.
He was said by White and Toole to be the son of William "Squire Billy" DAVIDSON and Jane BIRDWELL, and a brother of Blackburn Davidson, who married Harriet Goodrich. White and Toole show him as a grandson of Wm. Davidson, b ca 1755, in N.C., lived to be 96. When members of his family loaded their wagons in 1849, and departed for Texas, never to return, the old grandfather, nearly blind, stood by the side of the road and waved until they were out of sight. He had begged to be taken to Texas with them. SABINE COUNTY GENEALOGICAL RECORDS, pps 84-87, contains details of various early Davidson families settlers in Pennsylvania, Virginia and the Carolinas. Gen. Samuel Houston was the grandson of a Margaret Davidson. Thomas Whitfiled Davidson, a Texas state senator and Lietut. Governor, was claimed as a relative of Jefferson Oliver Davidson of Sabine County (personal interview with Beulah Davis Hughes). (White and Toole, p 87).
Other researchers show him instead as a son of William DAVIDSON (born 1779 Va, d. 1860 Texas) and Nancy ALBRIGHT (born 1779 Va), and an Uncle of Blackburn Davidson.
When Napolean Mason of Sabine County, applied for a Confederate Pension, he stated that he served in the C. S. A. , Company I, 1rst Texas Regiment, Infantry as a private.

His double headstone with wife Maudie is inscribed "Son of Eleazar and Julia Davis." His sister, Emma Bell, was married to his wifes brother, Inlow Edward Forse.
Could this be the James Davis who lived in household 42-42 at the time of the 1850 Jasper County, Texas census? It was headed by Eliza Davis, 43, of Georgia. James was 22, a farmer, and born in Georgia.
Died at his residence 5 miles west of Many, February 19, 1892, Mr. John Davis, aged 74 years. Mr. Davis was born in Gallatin, Tennessee, and had been a resident of Sabine Parish for nearly fifty years, having settled here in 1843 about the time of the formation of the parish. He followed his trade of carpenter for three years, and in 1846 marrid Miss Maria E. Buvens, and then began farming and followed it successfully until his death. He was converted to the Catholic Church soon after his coming to this parish and until the time of his death was one of her most faithful and cherished members. He served as the recorder of Sabine Parish for a number of years and made an efficient officer. He was ever a friend to the needy and no one in any station in life could say naught against him. The Catholic Church and schools here are silent witnesses to his charity and generosity. He leaves an aged and loving wife, three sons and on daughter to mourn his loss to whom he was very kind and loving father. And his numerous relatives and hosts of friends pay tribute to his memory. The Banner extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved relatives and friends. A true man in every respect, let his epitaph be: True to his God, true to his country and true to his friends. (Casagranda, 1850 census, 98).
