Virtually all of the original settlers of Salem (Harrison County) migrated as a unit from Shrewsbury, New Jersey to Fayette, Co. Pa. in 1789 and then south into Va. (present Monengalia Co. and then Harrison--1792). Many were Davises. Their story and that full genealogy is in Davis: The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia by Susie Davis Nicholson (reprints of the 3rd edition, 1992 are still available here and I have other information that may be useful). Will be glad to corresond further. Janet Thorngate Janet Thorngate 88 Terrace Ave. Salem WV 26426 (304) 782-1727

Janet, my 4th greatgrandparents were Caleb Davis and his wife Leah Basnett. They are said to be buried at the Davis Ridge Cemetery in Marion Co., WV. Is Caleb related to the Davis' of those who settled in Salem? Thanks and regards, Thomas C.

Sharon, William Backus and Jacob Swiger came to Harrison Co. from Fayette Co., PA. I wrote a story that is in the HCGS archives. It's named Pennsylvania Dutch and is about these and related families.
