Hi, I'm trying to trace my Davis line from TN -> IL -> MO. My ancestor is Robert W. Davis. I found a Robert Davis entry in the land records on the web. He bought the land in 1837. Are there any records in Johnson County the could verify that the Robert Davis in the land record in my Robert Davis. All I have is the birth of two of their children John and Mary. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Teresa L. Davis Edwards Here is the MO 1850 census entry for TANEY CO 1850 Census - Taney County, Missouri #636 DAVIS, R. (Robert) 50 m TN DAVIS, S.
