Is anyone looking at the Davis Family in Pennsylvania, particularly Philadelphia area and Chester County?  I'm trying to identify the parents of Ann R. Davis, b. 1811, supposedly in Philadelphia.  She married Paul Conard of Chester County.  Most likely he was a Quaker, but I have no information on Ann's religion.  When Ann was widowed she lived with a niece in Camden, NJ (1890's).

I am on the trail of one Isaac newton Davis born 1848, son of Lucinna (Lucinda?Lucy?) and John W. Davis born 1824. 1850 census has them in District 1, White, Tennessee. With other siblings.....

Latest news I am gathering is that he may have been adopted. I am hoping someone out there has more information on this.

Thank you Judy.  I should have mentioned that Davis was her maiden name.

Christine,

I have been able to locate a Pamela Davis 1821 Ohio - 1901 Syracuse, Kosciusko Co., Indiana. Interred at Syracuse Cemetery (Find a Grave #36988754).

Her husband was Nathaniel Davis 1826 - 1888. He is interred next to her, along with their daughter Amanda Davis 1849 - 1872.

There is a listing of other children for them.  Amanda, Pamela, Nathaniel (Jr. ?), Lida, and Malen at Find a Grave.

 I guess thery are all interred there together. I'll check my genealogy list to see if I have any connections to them.

Hope this helps a bit.

Hey Jefferson Davis fans... I too think my late husband was also related to JD. I've seen an early picture of him and a picture of my husband were the spitin image.

So anyway I bought a book "Jefferson Davis by: William J. Cooper, Jr. and on page three there is a letter from JD to his sister Amanda. He's addressing their fathers death. Amandawas married to: David Bradford and they had two childrennamely, Benjamin and David. I'm sure there are more answers to your question in there but I haven't read it all yet. So go look in the Library or go buy it I'm sure it'll help.

PERMELIA Davis, b. c. 1826 Adams co OH, does anyone have a Permelia, Pamila, Pamela, Pammie, Millie Davis that would fit here?

Hello everyone! I am so glad to have found this site. I have been beating my head against a brick wall for quite some time trying to find a Sophia Davis, who was born around 1812 in Indiana. She is my great great grandmother. She married Eli Roberts in 1832 in Knox, IL. They lived in Schuyler County, IL until sometime between 1870 and 1880 where they then show up in Ravenna Town, Fannin County, Texas. Prior to having married Eli, I have found NO history on either Sophia or Eli.

My Davis connection is through my Mother's side of the family. My late Grandfather was US Army MSGT. Mercer Fullilove "Dick" Davis, born in Alabama. We still have family down their. And have quite a bit of info to share, if anyone wants it.
