California Highway Patrol Officer Paul Benton recently contacted us through this site requesting our assistance.  He is doing research to “locate family members of Jarvis S. “Ted” DAVIS b 1895.  Davis was a CHP Officer who died in the line of duty on March 11, 1933, in a traffic accident while responding to assist the victims of the 1933 Long Beach,CA earthquake.”  If you visit the CHP web site “Badges of Honor” you will see that there is no photo of  Ted accompanying his tribute.

Our genealogy books show that Jarvis was the son of Carolyn Hubbell, and grandson of 2292 Clarence Gano Hubbell, b. 1845 in Liberty, Clay County, Missouri. There are descendants who may be living, but we do not have contact information for any of them. Do you know these people?  Can you help? Please contact us through the web site if you have an information.  We would like to help find this family if at all possible. Some of the descendants lived in the Chicago area at one time and there may still be family there.
