According to William Branham, his "conversion experience" was when he was recruited into Roy E. Davis's Pentecostal Baptist Church of God Sect. Though different versions of William Branham's stage persona used multiple dates for his recruitment, the date that appears to be most accurate is 1928. Branham was consistent about this date during sermons in 1959 before he started moving the date forward for his stage persona’s alleged conversion and “angelic” commission.
This presents one huge problem: Davis did not move to Jeffersonville, Indiana until the fall of 1930. In 1929, Davis was preaching from various locations in Tennessee and had his headquarters church in Nashville. It is at this location that Branham describes holding revivals with Davis. Branham’s conversion timeline raises one very important question: How did William Branham meet the Ku Klux Klan’s 2nd in command BEFORE 1930?
The answer may lie with William Branham’s mother, Ella Harvey. According to William Branham, Ella was from Oklahoma, near the Texas border. Before marrying his father Charles, Ella moved to Texas, just above Paris. This, according to Branham, is where Charles met Ella. Charles was apparently breaking horses near Paris, and his mother was somehow involved. According to Davis family historians, Paris, Texas is just a short drive from Red River County, Texas, where Davis’ family lived. Paris was also part of the revival circuit for Roy Davis and his brother, W. L. Davis.
