Hello:

The 1807 Indiana Territorial Census, for Randolph County, Illinois
Territory, lists only two Davis': James and Richard, and one Bissell:
Daniel.

My great grandfather, Thomas M. Davis, was born in Illinois in 1799/1800.
He named a son James Bissell Davis, leading me to believe Thomas may have
been a son of either James or Richard Davis, and that his mother may have
been a Bissell.

Does anyone have any information relating to the three men, or to any
Davis/Bissell family known to have been in Illinois before 1807?

Thanks in advance for any related information.

Tom Davis
