Davis m. Catherine Parisho) his middle name is spelled out but smudged. To me it looks like Wakefield. I have no clue as to his siblings or parents names. Might there be a connection to these families in Bartholomew???? Hiram was born in OH abt 1814 and was in Indiana around 1820-30s. He was married twice. Once, I believe, to Elizabeth Plow (daughter of Conrad Plow/Plough) from 1831/2 to 1841 when she was granted a divorce in Fayette county and marriage a second time in 1842 to Catherine Parisho (d. of Camwells Parisho and Katherine Fodrea/Fodry) in Bartholomew County. In 1856, they moved to Hardin County, Iowa then in 1860 to Marshall County, Iowa. Any help or guesses from anyone on this would be greatly appreciated. (A brick wall for almost 3 years now)
