Susan,
My direct Davis ancestor was (Mary)Elizabeth Davis Hancock wife of Watson Hancock.
Both are buried in Beechgrove Cemetery in Muncie, IN. Mary was born in Washington Co. MD
Jan 5, 1830. Her parents were Daniel S. and Hannah Leckroan (various spellings)Davis.
That much I am sure of. Other info has been gathered from other researchers, census and
other records.
Daniel S. Davis b. June 5, 1803 in Cavetown MD and died Sept 3, 1873..not sure where.
Hannah Leckroan Davis b. April 1810 and died May 8, 1881 not sure where. I found my
Watson and Elizabeth Hancock living with Urias and Ann Davis in the 1850 Ohio census,
Butler Co. For some reason I don't have the twp down...probably Reily or MillCreek.
I presume Daniel and Hannah Davis are buried in OH but haven't checked it out.
Children of Daniel and Hannah Davis:
Uriah Davis b. 1-5-1828
Mary Elizabeth b 1-5-1830
Daniel E. b. 10-15-1832
Jacob H. b. 11-17-1834
Rebecca b. 6-29-1839
Mariah Ann b. 3-13-1841
Thomas Isaac b. 8-18-1843
John Simon b. 9-21-1845
Isiah b. 10-3-1847
Sarah b. 12-17-1849
Aside from Uriah and Mary Elizabeth, I don't know who any of the others married as I
haven't pursued this line much. I do know that many lived in the Winchester, IN,
Randolph Co. area. Kora Davis, Winchester sheriff, was grandpa's (Alex Hancock)
cousin and got him out of trouble more than once!...Let me know if I can help more. Jan
