I am researching Sara Ann Davey's family from Carbondale. About 1850, she
migrated with her parents (Charles Davey & Jane Bennett) to Wisconsin. I am
posting an outling descendant tree below with the information I currently
have.
I am particularly interested in the Davey & Bennett families in
Pennsylviania. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ann Vaughan Richards
