Hi, glad to find the list active. I have been on it but a
short time so haven't had a notification of anyone here.
I have some wonderful brick walls. I know you all are going
to laugh at me because this story sounds like your wonderful
rumor handed down from generation to generation.
I have John Davis (I know there cannot be more than one)
If you believe that I know you haven't researched long.
Anyway, John Davis, b abt 1831 m. Catherine Dowd 1851 her
maiden name could have been spelled Doud. They had a son
named Marimon. By 1858 she is married to a Richard Webb.
This all happened in Indiana. The only thing she knew about
John she told my grandmother who cared for her was that
John's grandfather John Davis fought in the American Revolution and that John
that fought in the revolution was
a Native American that was a descendant of (you got it)
Pocohontas. My ancestors hear your laughing and tell me
you are cruel. I cannot help what I know and this is all
I know. I have read a record of a John Davis in the revolution who said he
was a "redman". I read about the
Dawes Roll but have no idea how to access it. I don't know
what happened to John Davis after Marimon was born and of
course all this happened between two censuses. Marimon
married Harriett Moore daughter of Jackson Moore and Elizabeth Summers Mills.
Both of these families came from
this area, went to Georgia or North Carolina and then to
Posey County, Indiana. By this area I mean Delmarva.
When you stop laughing would you please reply? Thanks Becky
