John DAvis [1800-1880] my g3grandfather is introduced as 'John Davis of the County of
Hardy in Virginia' in an 1835 deed recorded in White Co., IN.
I am aware that a German family (Burket)from Lancaster Co., PA married into the Nogel
family. Burket and Henry Joel were brothers-in-law. Henry Joel d. in Berkeley Co., VA in
1779. Henry was the father of Katharine
& Margaret Joel who m. Abraham & Jacob (Allis) Ellis (my G5 grandparents) in PA
and moved to Back Creek area of Berkeley Co. after Henry Joel died. His daughters had
inherited 293 acres of land. The two Ellis families lived there until partition of the
land about 1803 when Abraham & Katharine moved to Clinton Co., Ohio.
