General Notes: Husband - John Davis

---

He was born in Solebury or Upper Makefield, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, September 6, 1760, and at the age of sixteen years became a member of Capt. Samuel Smith's company in Col. Joseph Hart's battalion of the "Flying Camp," and took part in the Jersey campaign of 1776; the following spring he enlisted in Capt. Butler's company, Col. Butler's regiment, Continental Line, but was later transferred to the light infantry, under Gen. the Marquis de Lafayette, Capt. Joseph McClelland's company, serving in all five years, participating in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and the storming of Stony Point. At Brandywine, he assisted in carrying the wounded Lafayette to a place of safety.
Returning to Bucks county at the close of the war, he married and they resided for a time on a farm in Solebury, but in 1795 removed to Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, and in 1816 removed to Franklin County, Ohio, where he later died.

Most of the children removed with their parents to the banks of the Scioto, and became active and useful members of the community.

General Notes: Wife - Ann Simpson

---

from Buckingham, Bucks Co, PA

Her father was a landholder in Buckingham, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and is supposed to have been of the same lineage as the maternal ancestors of Gen. U. S. Grant, though of this there is no proof, and the relationship, if existing, is somewhat remote.
