DAVIS -
Interested in contacting anyone researching the DAVIS surname from VA. I have information that indicates my gg grandfather, John Davis, was from Henry Co., VA. This was sent to me recently and I have not confirmed that. John was born about 1784 (VA?) and died in Madison Co., MS around 1833. This has not been verified either. I do not know who his spouse was. Some of his issue were; George Washington, Patrick, Mary, John Davis, Jr., and others. The last child was born in VA around 1815. This means the family moved to MS after 1815 and before 1833 and resided in Madison and Rankin Counties. Thanks for any response.
