    DescriptionA sworn affidavit by T.L. Evans in Plumerville, Conway County, Arkansas dated February 20, 1904. The affidavit repudiates an earlier circulated statement stating that he supports Governor Jeff Davis' pardon of Pomp Brown.

    Jefferson "Jeff" Davis was born in Rocky Comfort, Arkansas on May 6, 1862. Davis served as the twentieth Governor of Arkansas from 1901 to 1907. Although his administration was said to have "produced more politics than government," Davis succeeded in building a new state house and reforming the penal system. Davis passed away on January 3, 1913 in Little Rock, Arkansas.
