Glacier Hi I am really stuck & need help. I am looking for my husbands ggrandfather John Phinnius Davis. We believe him to have been born somewhere in Adams Co. around 1855-57. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. I know he married a Zerelda Lamer from Union Co. over in McPherson Ks. on 30th Dec. 1879. Thanks so much Dottie Surrett surrett@vtc.net
