Roy Elonza Davis, Sr. was reared in Texas, but he did not remain there for the largest portion of his life. After being caught cheating and swindling the people of Texas in 1917, he fled to Georgia posing as a travelling evangelist and singer under the alias "Lon Davis." He tried to settle down in Acworth, GA, but was removed from the congregation for "conduct unbecoming a minister." | Roy Elonza Davis, Sr. was reared in Texas, but he did not remain there for the largest portion of his life.
