    Several McSwain genealogies report that George Davis died in York County, South Carolina.  But the North Carolina Death records say he died in his traditional home residence of Cleveland County, North Carolina (across the state border from York).

    With the death date I could tell which of the many Georges this was, and was able to find him in the Cemetery records for Cleveland County, which had been compiled and placed online by W D Floyd.
