General Notes: Husband - John Davis

---

He was a mechanic by trade, came from his native country, Wales, and located in Western Pennsylvania.

In the mid 1800s he moved to Moon township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he bought the old Campbell farm, but afterward the Edwards farm. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. He was in the boatyard in Elizabethtown in early life. His ancestors are supposed to have been of Welsh origin.

He was born in West Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, and moved to Beaver County about 1840. His occupation was that of a boat builder, but after locating in Beaver County, he turned his attention to tilling the soil. He purchased 200 acres of land in Moon township, this becoming the old family homestead, and in addition, owned one-hundred and forty acres in Independence township. In politics, he was a Republican, and a prominent one, but was not an office seeker.

He and his wife had twelve children, eleven of whom were living in 1888.
