N. D. Davis was my 2nd great grand uncle. His first name is Noah. I would love to have a copy of a photo he took, just for verification for who he worked for. Any way you could scan it and send it to me? I always thought there would be some he took of his own family but have yet to locate any. Here is what I know about this family to pinpoint time frame for you: The family came from Jerusalem, Yates County, New York sometime after 1860 (I have them in the NY census for 1860), to Geneseo, Illinois. They are not in the 1865 census for New York.) I can not locate him in 1870 census-not in New York, Illinois or Iowa. His father died in Edford, Illinois in December 1870. Two of his brothers are living in Henry County in 1870, one brother is living in Wayne Co., Iowa. Noah is listed in the 1877 Voters & Taxpayers of Henry County, Illinois as a photographer. Noah is listed in the 1880 census living in Geneseo, Illinois. I also can not locate him in the 1900 census, but have probate records from Illinois for his brother that mentions Noah in them, this was in 1886. Noah died in 1908 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Geneseo, Illinois. Hope this helps "date" your family photos. Jill Barrailler (Davis) bigjim@guam..net
