Gladys Davis Turner was born on January 30, 1905, near Centerville, Alabama, to Annie Corolin Wallace Davis and Thomas Jefferson Davis. Gladys was the oldest of the four Davis children. (Four children died in infancy.) Thomas Jefferson Davis was born in Perry County, Alabama, in 1868. He died of cerebral hemorrhage in Selma on December 2, 1924. Annie Corolin Davis was born in Oklahoma Territory on January 6, 1879, and died in Selma, Alabama, of complications of a stroke on November 12, 1953.

The entire collection (14,308 readings) passed through her hands at least four times during her lifetime. Additionally, Edgar Cayce dictated to her more than 100,000 pages of personal correspondence.
