Update: I've learned that John H. Davis and George P. Davis were brothers, sons of John Davis and Ann Brown. The family was in Colchester in 1880 and 1900.

I've figured out that two daughters of Andrew Yorks and Alphasina Odell married two Davis men.
Katie M. (possibly Catherine) Yorks was born about 1881 and married John H. Davis. They had three children that were married in Delaware County-- William Davis married Ethel Edwards, Bernie Davis married Dorothy Atkins, and Verna Davis married Styles Fairchilds. Katie Yorks Davis died before 1910 because in that census, John had a new wife, Emily, and a son by Emily named Frank.
Mary Anna Yorks was born in 1885. In the 1900 census she was living with sister Katie Davis in Colchester. I'm reasonably sure that Mary Anna married George P. Davis and they had six children-- Glinnis, Katie M., Andrew S., George R., John S., and Clayton L. This information is from the 1905, 1910, and 1920 census records. Mary Anna must have died before 1920 because in that census George is widowed.
My great-grandfather Charles Yorks was a brother of Katie and Mary Anna. Does anyone recognize any of these names?
Thanks,
Jeanne
