Hello: Further to my query re Thomas M. Davis, and a possible Bissell relationship, I note that a Joseph Davis was a resident of Monroe County at least between 1840 and 1860, based on a reading of the respective census'. Joseph apparently also was born in Illinois at an early time, as the census of 1860 gives his age at 52, and birth in Illinois. Joseph Davis' family included his wife, Elizabeth Baxter, born 1807, also in Illinois; and two daughters: Lucinde, and Mary, born 1845 and 1851, in Illinois. Joseph and Elizabeth had been married in 1841, apparently a second marriages for each, given their respective ages. Any information about Joseph Davis and Elizabeth Baxter would be much appreciated. Tom Davis
