Jehu and Eunice had children born roughly 1780s-1810, whereas Jehu and Abigail's children start about 1813. Jehu with wife Abigail (nee Davis) was younger than the one wife wife Eunice. 'Jehu' was a common SXDE first name. It is possible that Eunice, wife of the **older** Monongalia Co. Jehu Davis, was Eunice, daughter of William Poynter of Cedar Ck. Hd., SXDE, but this idea is completely unproven. I know of no evidence specifically for and against. Any person asserting that this is so had better present the evidence at the same time as making the assertion. Esther DAVIS, dau. of Jehu and Eunice, b. possibly 1790s, mrd. ___ HILL Her husband could be the John Hill enumerated for 1840 in Franklin Twp., Henry Co. IN between the households of George Waters and Jehu Davis [p. 74, line 5]. This household comprised a male aged 50-59, female aged 40-49, male and female each aged 20-29, a male aged 10-14, two females aged 5-9, two females aged 10-14, and a female aged 15-19. This enumeration might include a married child of the senior couple. I did not find evidence in Monongalia Co. for the first name of Esther's husband. I did not find her enumerated for 1850. I did not look into Davis estate records in Henry Co., IN, nor follow Davis land records. Good hunting, Jade Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
