| My Davis line starts in 1670 in Wales. LLewellyn Davis was born in 1670 in Wales. After 1700 he sailed to America and settled in Chester County,PA. He married Bridget Jones abt. 1705. His grandson Jesse Davis(1772-1843)moved the family line to Cayuga County, New York. Further generations moved to Michigan,Illinois Indiana, Conneticut, Washington and CA. Other names in the family tree are Thompson, Clark, Yawger, Jeffers, Rinkle, Crouch, Brown, Allen, Ross, Hargrave,Weed, and a few Smiths. Family History tells us that the original Davis Farm was very near Valley Forge, PA. According to the story, Washington and Lafayette spent many evenings at the Davis house. The Davis men were either too old or too young to serve in the war so the helped with supplies. Bridget Jones is the Daughter of Rev. Malachi Jones, the founding Pastor of the Great Valley Presbeyterian Church in Chester CO, PA. The church is still there. I beleive that Jesse is one of 7 or 8 children, but I only have his decendants in my records. I would appriciate any help I can get regarding this branch. I will be more than happy to share any information I have with anyone who asks. |
