James Davis and Nancy Shaw Wylie are buried in the Wylie Cemetery located in the
Choctaw Management Area (?). There are five tombs in this cemetery: James and
Nancy Wylie and three of their children, Samuel Houghston "Hugh", Henry Thomas
"Tom", Elizabeth Angeline "Eliza". James' tombstone is in place but broken in
two places. Nancy's stone disappeared in the 1970's or 1980's. The three
children are marked with native stones with the letter "W" etched onto them.
Legend has it that Indians are also buried there and indeed there ARE some
stones a ways away from the Wylies which appear to be grave markers.
After Nancy's death, James married second Lucy Costiloe Davis (daughter of John
Costiloe and Emily Wragg Costiloe) on 25 Jan. 1882 in Winston County. They had
one son, Addison Youngblood Wylie, b. 12 May 1883, d. 13 Oct. 1955.
Interestingly, one of James' younger sons, Francis Marion (my grandfather)
married Emma Jane Davis (my grandmother), daughter of Lucy Costilor Davis,
making Addison half-brother to the Wylie and Davis children.
