Hi All,
I've just subscribed to the Jackson Co,IN maillist. I've dropped
two of my other unproduction email-lists and thought it was time
to see what this one can do. Here is a brief bio:
An old Sonoma Co,CA County History (1881) shows a bio of my LEVI DAVIS as:
"DAVIS, LEVI. Was born in Jackson County, Indiana, March 21, 1822. At the
age of seventeen years he settled with his parents in Warren County,
Illinois, and there resided till the Fall of 1840 when his parents
moved to Green County, Missouri, and there he commenced farming. Here he
married REBECCA LAKEY on January 6, 1842. In 1852 Mr. Davis crossed the
plains to California by ox-team and arrived in Petaluma on the 29th
of August of that year, and first settled near Liberty school-house
in that township where he farmed until 1871. In this year he moved to his
present residence near Forrestville and occupies three hundred acres of
land on which he raises wheat and carp. His family consists of JOHN
VALENTINE, JOSEPH, JACOB, CHARLES NUTON, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS, PHOEBE,
REBECCA ZARRILDA, and LYDIA ANN."
Levi had a cousin also named Levi. This cousin Levi married a Matilda
CLINE in Illinois.
The 1820 nor 1830 Jackson Co,IN Fed Census don't offer much help:
1820: Thomas Davis (oldest) 101111 00101
Zacharia Davis 200010 10010
Joseph Davis 100100 20100
John Davis 000100 20100
1830 James Davis
John Davis
Joseph Davis
William Davis
Thomas Davis
Can anyone find a tie in with my Levi?
