I descend from Joseph Ware Davis & Nancy Minerva Janes. Joseph W. Davis was s/o John
& Mary Elizabeth (Newland) Davis who d. in White Co., 1844. I have traced Abel Davis
to Loudoun Co., VA and his parents, Benjamin & Hannah Davis. I am researching the
posibility that Benjamin who d. 1803 in Loudoun Co., VA was the s/o Evan & Mary
Davis. Mary Huffman was d/o John Huffman b. 1741, Berks Co., PA. The 1880 census of
White Co.notes John Davis advised census taker that his father, Abel was b. in Maryland
& mother in PA. John's grandson, Professor John R. Davis notes in his 1916
Oklahoma biography that his grandfather, John Davis was a cousin of Jefferson Davis.
