OK folks...keep your eyes and ears open because this is a new year and cousins and I agree...we wanna find this guy! He is clearly marked on every document as MOSES DAVISON and without a middle initial and rarely listed with an extra "d" in the surname...we've got documentation and lots of it AFTER him...it's PRIOR to him that we are searching...if you can help there's plenty in this clan that would be mighty grateful! Experimented with naming patterns and can't get anywhere so far but here's the male names...some had middle ones, some didn't... Moses (b. 1804 PA) Son #1: John (b. 1829 PA) Son #2: Samuel Harrison (b. 1832 PA) Son #3: David Allen (b. 1834 PA) Son #4: Milford (b. 1837 PA) Son #5: Joseph William (b. 1842 PA) Son #6: James Leander (b. 1847 IN) Son #7: Charles (b. 1851 IN) Also we have the family SOLID in the 1850 Census of Wells Co., IN and that's the only SOLID thing other than the listings of Moses and all children being born in PA...which is consistant thru out future reports...and with 6 girls being born during the marriage all in PA we are fairly confident the family SHOULD BE IN PA thru out that time period...(we have some guesses off census reports and family stories however so far those have not resulted in a connection)... Anyone with possible links... PLEASE... feel free to email me!! -- --Sandy in Sacramento, CA-- "sandymento" Descendant of Moses DAVISON (1804 PA -1880 IN) and Elizabeth MOSS (1807 PA -1865 IN) 2nd son: Samuel Harrison DAVISON (1832 PA-1908 IN) 1853 m.
