From "The Papers of Jefferson Davis; June 1865 - December 1870"
Amanda Davis Mitchell Ganier (Feb. 9, 1852 - Jan 24, 1910), grandniece of Jefferson and Joseph E. Davis, was born in Madison Parish, Louisiana, the first child of Lucy Bradford and Charles J. Mitchell. Her parents dreamed in 1867 of sending her to school in Paris, where her father had studied medicine, but instead she was enrolled at Mount de Chantal, a Catholic boarding school in West Virginia, for the 1867-68 school year; her fees were paid by her aunt Anna Bradford Miles. On January 23, 1877, she married Elie Ganier (1839-1903), a Madison Parish planter and ex-Confederate soldier with whom she had three sons. She died in Hammond, Louisiana, and was buried in Vicksburg (gravestone, Vicksburg City cemetery; Davis Family Assn.
