Hello,
I haven't posted all of this for some time, so thought I'd give it another go,
since there has been some DAVIES/DAVIS talk lately. This is the latest info I have on this
family--or at least the latest I've put in the computer files.
They were definitely spelling it "DAVIES" in Wales and when they first came to
the US, but switched to "DAVIS" shortly after 1854.
I am especially interested in sharing info with anyone looking for men who were copper
men/smeltermen--DAVIES b. abt 1800-1819 Wales/REES(E) b. abt. 1800-1822 Wales/Thomas JAMES
b. Abt 1825, Wales, or related families, or anyone who had copper workers move from
Glamorgan or Carmarthenshire between 1840-1850 to smelt copper in Baltimore, Maryland,
USA.
I have a lot more info on other family members, but I am hoping seeing these given names
will spark a memory in someone? I also have quite a lot of info on the Baltimore copper
industry.
Thank you!
Mona
