No research has yet to turn up where he died or wound up. Evlyn died on 13 May 1926 in Los Angeles, California. Burial for both sisters are currently unknown.
Letitia's daughter Frances Mabel Davey (1866-1925) married John Fernandes on 4 Nov 1891 in Harrison County, Iowa. They lived most of their married life in Springfield, Illinois and are both buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery. (In Letitia's obituary she is erroneously named Hernandez.)

The oldest daughter of Letitia and Thomas was Hulda "Jenny" Davey, no further information past the 1870 US Federal Census can be found of Jenny Davey.
