Looking for the father of Levi Israel Levi Israel
The mother is the key and some say DAVIS and some say COFFEY.
This is the dilemma.
Presently I have but do not think is disambiguated entirely yet and gave up a while back but am revisiting!:
Buckner Ezell, Sr married Lucy Israel
https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Levi_Israel_%283%29 gives Levi Israel parents as
F. Buckner Israel 1774 - Abt 1842
M. Lucy Davis 1783 - 1841
m. 25 Sep 1799
https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/i/s/r/Michael-W-Israel-CA/WEBSITE-000... simply calls the mother of Levi LUCY and does not claim/argue Coffey or Davis
But calls husband Buckner the son of Randall Ezell and grandson of Randall Ezell
Randall Ezell (b. Abt. 1752, d. date unknown)
Randall Ezell (son of James Ezell and Keziah Bullock)720 was born Abt. 1752, and died date unknown.
Children of Randall Ezell are:
+Buckner Israel, b. Abt. 1774, North Carolina721, 722, d. Aft. 1841, TN723, 724.

It would make sense that Buckner Davis Israel is the son of a woman named DAVIS.
I am thinking Lucy Coffey makes more sense and that is what the FindaGrave has.
These scenarios make my head spin and I am trying to help a cousin I met at Wikitree and Ancestry due to DNA match which is closer than 5th cousins.
