    Does anyone have any cites, books or articles I can link to in order to determine if Davis did in fact adopt a young black child named “Jim Limber?”

    It was not quite an adoption but yes, the Davises did rescue a young black child and raised him for a time with their own children until they were separated with the coming of Federal armies. A good article on Jim Limber’s status in the Davis family may be found here: http://www.moc.org/sites/default/files/PDFs/jimlimberarticlewinter08.pdf.
