Message Board Post:
Thank you so much. I had his father as Samuel Davis (PA>OH>IN). I found on
Franklin County's genweb an inventory of Samuel Davis dated 15 May 1855. It list his
widow as Mary Davis. I have found Zachariah Davis, Meshach Davis, and Samuel Davis where
in Franklin County, Bath Twp. I have found Samuel, Zachariah Davis and Timothy Craft in
the 1850 and 1840 census.
I did find a record for a Samuel Davis who married a Mary R Ceyor in Fayette County,
Pennsylvania, it included one child a Meshach Davis born 26 April 1811 in Fayette County,
PA he died in Ollie, Keokuk County, IA 15 October 1896. I don't known for sure if
this is the same Samuel Davis. I found this infromation on
Familysearch.org.
I have a copy of Albert Davis biographical sketch, in which it gives Samuel as his
grandfather. It has given me some information to go on in this search.
Also, a Sam D. Lawson posted information (Franklin County message board) on the Davis
family that lived in Franklin county. Zachariah was the son of James Davis and Keziah
Phillips, they lived in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. They are both buried in Fayette
County PA. They had several children: Samuel B:6 December 1785; Joshua B: 10 July 1787;
Zachariah B: 10 January 1789; David B: 6 May 1793; Hannah B: 8 November 1795; Keziah B:
29 March 1798; Mary B: 25 January 1806.
I did a find an old post on the Fayette County PA message board about a James and Keziah
Davis, that he was the son of a David Davis.
Again, Thank you for the information, I think it will help point me in the right
direction.
