Only one of Jefferson Davis's children married and had children. That was Margaret Howell Davis (1855-1909) who married Joel Addison Hayes, Jr. (1850-1919) on January 1,1876 in Memphis, Tennessee. Her first child died as an infant. There were three more and then they moved to Colorado Springs in the late 1880s, where one more was born in 1889. Both them and all of the remaining children died in Colorado.
but Jenny Anderson Horne, the daughter of Cynthia Williams and John D. Anderson Jr., who was born on October 12, 1972 in Dorchester County, South Carolina and married Marc F. Horne on May 11, 1996 is a descendant?
I seriously doubt it. Still looking...
When did that happen? Was there a referendum I missed?
That woman was so obnoxious that I had to mute her each time she was shown, which was quite often (even the local news spotlighted her). I predict she will lose her next election, by a large percentage. She was miserable.
My mama is still living today, at the age of 95.
Her parents both died very young,
and she was raised by her grandparents.
Her grandfather (born 1867) that helped raise her
was the son of a Confederate veteran.
Mama still hates the party of Lincoln (republicans).
It is just the way she was raised.
In perspective, the 1860’s were not all that long ago.
Oh, the stories that I have been told...
Probably another example of false history, which SC people can lap up.
Since when did it become a symbol of hate? Just because someone said it or some insane look displayed it? The flag was never about hate. These uneducated fools are just trying to make it a distraction from the real problem that they can’t deal with.
She's ONE UGLY SPUD.
WHY THE REGIME PICKED ON THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG
AND NOT ROOF’S MANIFESTO
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division.
Through the use of the “Bully Pulpit” it created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries which were treated as local news ignored and forgotten. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”.
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out.
Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag,(Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion), that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !”
Well they’re doing a good job of perverting what that battle flag’s represented at the same time ignoring the regime’s complicity in engendering those previous racial incidents.
Has anyone bothered to check her claims? She might be as related to him as she is George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Sometimes, leftists lie.......sometimes.
She’s a drama queen.
Really? It was among the dumbest speeches ever given in American politics.
One can imagine Patrick Henry getting up, and saying, "Screw it, let's just declare independence already, I mean c'mon."
Or Lincoln at Gettysburg: "Look, lots of people just died here. It's not the time for a big speech, but let's continue to fight, guys."
Or Roosevelt after Pearl Harbor: "After what happened yesterday, we're at war, nuff said."
Or Martin Luther King: "Everyone should just be nice to each other, I mean WTF."
Sorry, hearing her scream like a baby into the microphone was pathetic. She didn’t sound like a legislator, she sounded like a hysterical woman.
Not reasonable, just a shrill voice trying to shame people for loving heritage.
Let us know what you find out. It doesn’t seem likely.
Is it too obvious to ask if Jefferson Davis had illegitimate children? I assume I’m not the first to think it but I don’t know how you would verify that. She may not pass the “even one drop” test. Or he may have been so gallant that many women swooned. He would have been a sort of mid 19th century rock star. And today’s hipsters have nothing on the bizarre facial hair of then.
She’s not a descendant of Jefferson Davis. A number of folks on Twitter ranthis down. The link above is a good summary page (with links to the genealogy for Rep. Horne available from public records and for Jefferson Davis, available from Rice University).
Her local paper has been notifed, and they do nothing. Same for WaPo, NYT, etc. nobody wants to upset the narrative.
