I have a step grandfather was killed in mine explosion May 10,1892 in Roslyn Washington
US, who's obit shows name as Phillip Davies, same on tombstone, and who's family
was thereafter know as Davis. The obit says he was born in Aberanum ? SW, mined in that
country came to Lucerne Co Penn in 1870. Married Elizabeth Adams (my grandmother) on Sept
27, 1877 in Lucas Co Iowa, and moved to Roslyn Wa in 1889. I remember their children were
always know as Davis.
Possible error in spelling Lucerne Co by local newspapers.
I have been unable to follow Phillip Davies prior to 1870. Any connection do you
suppose?

Hi Tomi,
I also have a DAVIES born in Llangammarch, BRE that came to the U.S. and was
listed in all the census returns as DAVIS. Mine were in Luzerne County, PA.
not far from Columbia County, PA. They were all miners.

Hello,
I have found a John and Elizabeth DAVIS living with my Prosser ancestors in
Bloom Twp., Columbia Co PA in 1860 after I thought I had found them as John
and Elizabeth DAVIES in Breconshire in 1861, 1871, etc.
When I look in Bloom Township I see TONS of DAVIS famlies. I know names were
often changed after coming to America. I am wondering if anyone else has had
a Welsh 'Davies' turn into a 'Davis' in Columbia Co, PA (or anywhere)?
Tomi
