Subject: [DAVIS ] Joseph Davis died 1813 Fayette Co,KY
While searching my Ignatius Davis line that came to Clark Co, KY 1792, I have
found several Davis men that I don't know how they fit into our line, if at
all. It is quite possible some are siblings.
There is a Joseph H Davies/Davis b 1755-1770 married to Ann......., He died
in Fayette Co, KY.
Also a David Daniel Davis m Polly Lancaster 9-17-1815 in Bath Co, KY. They
have a child Thomas Davis b abt 1815 m Evaline House 9-5-1829 Bath Co, This
could be the first wife of Ignatius's son David Daniel Davis who married Jane
Snelling in 1832 in Decatur Co, IN after moving there.
Lastly, I have a Katherine Davis b abt 1783 married William Warden Jan 25,
1812 in Bath Co, KY. On the marriage license it states father of bride Joseph
and bondsman Ignatius Davis Since our Ignatius Davis had a son named Joseph,
I originally assumed this to be his daughter, however while reading Joseph
Davis's will written in 1829, he names all his children and there is no
mention of Katherine Davis.
Children named here are Elizabeth Thompson, Dorcas House, Mary Davis, Sarah
Norman, Luke, Ignatius, and youngest son David. No wife is mentioned.
If anyone can enlighten me on how these Davis's melt together I would
appreciate it.
