Message Board Post:
I would like to correspond with you regarding the Davis Family. Abel & Mary (Huffman)
Davis lived in present day Taylor Co., WV (then Monongalia Co) About 1818 John m. Mary
Elizabeth "Isabella" Newland. Shortly thereafter the Davis family moved to
Champaign Co, OH. where Mary (Huffman) Davis d. before May 1828. In 1835 Abel with wife
Catherine (Kirkwood)Davis joined his children who had moved to White Co., IN. In a 1835
deed John DAvis inidcated he was, of Hardy Co., VA". That statement had Davis
researchers looking for the family in Hardy Co. I assume John had a job perhaps working
for a Davis relative. There is much more to the story. If you decide to contact me please
let me know more about your connection to the Davis family as we know there was WRIGHT
connection in IN.
Abel was b. in MD according to John as indicated the 1880 census of White Co. Mary
Huffman was d/o John & Margaret Huffman. John Huffman d.testsate in Loudoun Co. in
1792. Benjamin Davis, father of Abel [1764-1747] d. testate as Loudoun Co. in 1803.
There is an Elizabeth Davis, d/o Benjamin & Hannah who continues evades discovery.
There is also in indication that a John Davis may have been a son of Benjamin by 1st
unknown wife. Look at my GenForum traffic in Loudoun Co. I will look for the Claypool
Rebellion.
Joe
