Message Board Post:
My Elizabeth Davis, daughter of John Davis was born 1772 in PENDLETON or ROCKINGHAM CO.
She was a member, along with at least 1 sister in the South Fork of the South Branch
Church. There are said to be other siblings. John's wife
is unknown. John was in HAMPSHIRE CO in 1780's.
He was arrested for treason and sentence to hang, but
escaped.
Some say either he or his father were from NJ or Wales.
They were said to have come to VA ca 1750-, as many from NJ
did at that time. They were to have lived in Monogohal and
other "earlier" counties in VA. In 1750, HAMPSHIRE CO was
AUGUSTA CO. In 1785 HAMPSHIRE became HARDY. Boundaries
changed with ALL name changes.
Would love to know WHO John was, and if he indeed was from
the NJ DAVIS' families, who were there in the beginning at
CAPE MAY.
