I am also seeking a DAVIS family that originally came from Virginia and settled in Illinois. My great-great-grandmother was MARTHA DAVIS who was born in Virginia in 1810. She married John Lewis on Nov.26, 1829 supposedly in Bedford County, Tennessee. John Lewis was born 1805 in South Carolina. They settled in Randolph or Perry Co., Illinois and had 14 children. My great-grandmother was the 5th child. Her name was Lucivia Frances Lewis. John Davis & Martha Davis Lewis are buried in Union Cemetery, 2 miles south of Sparta, Illinois. He died in 1883 and she in 1881. Could MARTHA be one of the missing children of the family Nancy Helvey is researching? Or does anyone else have any information on these people? Thanks for any help.
