Biography
Janie (Unknown) Davis is a part of US Black heritage.
Janie was born about 1890 in Tennessee, USA. She was the daughter of Rachel but the surname is extremely difficult to make out in the 1910 Census.

- Racheal Sumlan 56 Head Tennessee Black Widow Laundress with Private Family 8 children born / 3 living
- Janie Sumlan 20 Dau Tennessee Black
