I have written you before and have your works from the net. I
appreciate all your work you have done on the Davis families.
Last week I found on the net something that interest me. The Enoch
family has been in our family names and our John Davis b. 1757/8 that I
am still trying to place, had a dau. that m. John Devorss. She named a
child Enoch and I have collected all the Enoch families I could from the
net. I deeply believe our John is from James Davis b. 1705 and m.
Elinor both buried in Tanglewood Park, Forsyth Co. Winston-Salem, NC.
Their dau. Mary m. an Enoch and this is where our family came up with
the name. The John in this family could be ours but his children mostly
was b. in 1735-30. Yes, I know Richard had a John but that is not the
correct date for our John. You state Richard and Miss Ross had a John
and that he stayed in VA near Berryville, Milton Valley. Please check
him out for his birth. Richard d. in 1800. Wm. m. Rachel, he d. 4
Sept. 1833 could be or John's brother for he named a child Enoch b. 1740
- 1830 wife Eliz. Hawkins.
Our John and his wife, which we do not know, had: James which we came
from m. to Margaret Moore; Wm. John; Mila, Nancy, Sarah, Dorothy m.
Sinclair, Eliz m. Christopher Cummins, Noami m. Edward Ansley in 1788
2nd m. Henry Alexander then 3rd Arthur Bland in TN. Noami named a child
Enoch and father was Edward Ansley. Maybe two more children.
(Not ours)
John Davis b. 1754 Loudoun VA, died 12 Sept 1785 m. Sarah b. 1758 son of
Thomas and Eliz. Minor, Loudoun VA. Thomas's father was John Davis b.
1687 Penn.
UKN mother, John's father was David Davis b. abt 1660 m. Margaret Evans
I've been told to check out Terry as the last name for (our) John's
wife, Thomas Terry lived near. The last name Henson was used lots in our
family and we wonder where it came from.
Isaac had a son b. 1757 Loudoun VA. but his son died in 1778 and did not
get a pension. This was Isaac that had a son b. 1754 named John died of
small pox. Rose and Harriet lived with Nancy and John in 1820 census.
and David's father was Richard Davis UKN mother.
Another Isaac, Gloucester VA m. Anne Gayle 27 Feb. 1750 Kingston Parish,
Episcopal Church had son John b. 21 Aug 1757, Thomas b. 1762 m. Frances
Simmons, son Isaac bapt 29 June 1766 Gloucester Co. VA.

We know our John Davis went to NC to re-enlist in service while visiting

Well you've hit the right person. I have quite a bit on your Davis's. I started trying to search for the parents of Philip Davis of Pike Co IN. In my search I finally decided I was going to have to search and piece together every Davis family. I've been working on it for several years and have yet to fit Philip Davis in with the other Davis's. But I've got bundles of information on every one else's family.
How much do you want? I have the census records in Excel for every Davis in Pike county from 1840-1870. I can email them to you if you want them.
If you have Microsoft Word I can send you all the transcribed documents which include Jesse's will, his War of 1812 pension file and several land transactions. I can also snail mail copies of the originals to you if you like.
Have you corresponded with Alan White? He is also tracing your family line. I sent him copies of everything I have. If you'd like his email address just let me know.

She was one hundred and one years old and was drawing a pension as surviving widow of the war of 1812. She was a sister to William and David Mason, Sr., who died a short time ago. Jesse fought in the War of 1812 in John Farmer's Kentucky Militia. On September 28, 1850 the government passed an act awarding 80 acres of land as bounty for any survivors of the War of 1812. On March 3, 1855 they passed another act allowing those same veterans an additional 80 acres of land. Jesse was awarded 80 acres of land on bounty land warrant 6274 and another 80 acres of land on bounty land warrant 46179. On March 9, 1878 the government passed an act allowing widow's of veterans of the War of 1812 to file for a pension.
In his pension file, on April 24, 1855, Jesse stated that he was 63 years old and a resident of Pike Co IN. That he had served for the term of six months (Nov 27, 1814 to May 10, 1815) in the war of 1812 against Great Britain, that he had received bounty land of 80 acres and had legally disposed of it. He was applying for his second 80 acres.
In 1878, Nancy filed for a widow's pension. She states that her husband at the time of his enlistment at age 23 was a farmer about six feet, black hair, hazel eyes and had dark complexion. She states that he was born in Nelson County KY and that they were married in Elizabethtown, Hardin Co., KY by Martin Utterback a Baptist minister. She states that her maiden name was Mason. From the date of their marriage to October 1819 they resided in Bardstown, KY (Nelson Co) when they moved to Gibson Co., IN where they remained about 20 years and then moved to Pike Co., IN where they lived until the death of her husband and where she still resided.
In the Tax lists for Hardin Co, KY Jesse is not listed in 1814. He is listed in 1815 as owning one horse/mule worth $30. He is not listed in 1816 or any year after. According to Nancy's pension affadavit, they were in Nelson Co, KY right after their marriage.
There is a Jesse Davis that purchased land Aug 28, 1818 in Gibson County IN. He also purchased land on Sept 11, 1821, January 11,1834 and March 30, 1836 in Gibson Co IN. Buying land in the same parcel was Robert Clark Davis (Nov 14, 1818), Joel Davis (Sept 30, 1835) and William Ross Davis (Dec 12, 1834). It's possible that Jesse was related to these Davis's. There is a Robert Davis listed in the 1815 Hardin Co KY tax list.
Jesse is listed in the 1820 and 1830 Gibson County IN census. There is a Robert C. Davis, William R Davis and David Davis listed also.
In the parcel next to one above, John Davis purchased land May 13, 1833 and July 31, 1836.
While living in Gibson County Jesse purchased land in Pike Co. IN on March 29, 1837. He is listed in the 1840 census in Pike Co.
Jesse also purchased land in Pike County on Nov 25, 1848, July 14, 1849, Sept 21, 1850, and June 5, 1851 (used his Military Land Warrant). In the same section of land his sons John J. and David J. also purchased land.
Based on the number of children listed in the 1840 census we have added those missing to our list.
In the 1850 census Jesse and family are in Pike Co IN in Monroe township. Their grandchildren Lydia and Josiah Davis (children of David Jackson Davis and wife Lydia ?) are living with them. We know these are not Jesse's children because he states that his daughter Tasey Lewis Davis born in 1842 is his youngest daughter. After Jesse's son David's wife Lydia died he had remarried so we assume that his mother took his two youngest children to raise. In 1860 Nancy is living alone with her children still in Monroe township after Jesse's death. In 1870, Nancy is living with her daughter Tacy Clifford and her family still in Monroe township.
Jesse left a will dated Dec 21, 1855 in Pike County, IN. He only bequeathed land and/or goods to his wife, his 4 youngest children and one granddaughter. He named his son David Jackson Davis as executor. His older children may not have needed support or he may have already settled land or money on them at an earlier date. In 1860 the disposition of items was made based on Jesse's will. He left beds to two of his daughters, his wife and his granddaughter. The value of his estate was approximately $3500.00.
In Sept 1881, an heirship deed conveying land to Jesse Clifford was filed in Pike County, IN . All of Jesse's children are listed: David J., John J., Jesse G., Benoni S., Candis, Hannah Ritter, Nancy L., Sarah and Mary Ann.
Jesse Gross Davis Sr. and Nancy Mason had the following children:
2 i. Wilson Davis.
3 ii. David Jackson Davis was born 1817.

14 xiii. Tasey Lewis Davis was born December 14, 1842 and died April 4, 1874.
Steve, attached is most of what I have. The GED is 1MB and has 4400 names
little of which is much more than I posted originally. However, what I
have is now augmented by the two other documents attached. One is from
Betty Davis about Jesse and the other is from Norma Karter about Jesse. I
think it is Betty that is the daughter of Mae Davis who was sister to Ruby
Davis. I have good hopes between these files.
I note that the files differ a little on the names. I have to reconcile
this but don't want to jump right in for fear of ticking off either Betty
or Norma or both. I will probably give preference to specific persons with
dates as they are most likely backed by documents rather than memory.
My site is below but is a bogus spot at this time. The site was free and I
hope to do something with it in the future but for now it pretty much just
sits there. My information as of about 2 months ago is posted at the Weems
site but doesn't have this current Davis information contained therein.
My information came first from Doris Weems Phelps who is daughter to Ruby
Jane Davis. Second information came from Indiana University thru their
Huntington's Disease Research Registry. Now, the above two documents.
Would love a copy of your GED if possible. I still don't see the link you
make reference to but my eyes are getting worse every day or maybe it is
just the rock music in the background.
Anyway, good to talk to you , let me know if I can be of any help.

Well you've hit the right person. I have quite a bit on your Davis's. I started trying to search for the parents of Philip Davis of Pike Co IN. In my search I finally decided I was going to have to search and piece together every Davis family. I've been working on it for several years and have yet to fit Philip Davis in with the other Davis's. But I've got bundles of information on every one else's family.
How much do you want? I have the census records in Excel for every Davis in Pike county from 1840-1870. I can email them to you if you want them.
If you have Microsoft Word I can send you all the transcribed documents which include Jesse's will, his War of 1812 pension file and several land transactions. I can also snail mail copies of the originals to you if you like.
Have you corresponded with Alan White? He is also tracing your family line. I sent him copies of everything I have. If you'd like his email address just let me know.
