I am looking for information on Francis E. Davis who died Dec. 28, 1867 at age 39. Can anyone verify she was married to Benjamin Barzillia Davis who was married first to Sally Philinda Pettis and married second to Elizabeth Gibson. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Marilyn

Benjamin married (2) ----- ; married (3) -----. Benjamin remained on the home farm in Pike County, Ill. He attained national acclaim as a pomologist with the production of the "Ben Davis" apple.
