Hi Phyllis, Thanks for the offer. My Madison Co family was Asa Davis and wife Mary Jane Branson (2G grandparenets). Asa was in the county as early as 1838 when he filed for the last of the public land in Washington Twp of Delaware Co IN. He married Mary Jane in 1846 and they lived in the Anderson Twp of Madison Co from 1847 to 1858/59. At that point the family moved to the Van Buren Twp and lived there until 1864. Then off to Champaign Co IL. While in Madison Co they had at least three children who lived and possible several who may not have lived if the gap in the birth years is any indication. If possible I would like the birth date of the children. 1. Thomas M. Davis b. abt 1849 2. Annie Davis b. abt 1854 3. Augustus F. Davis b. abt 1858 My G G/D Theodore K. Davis was born 6 Nov. 1860. I might also ask if you folks have a family file section in the library. If so, I would appreciate it if you could check to see if there are any Davis families who were present in Madison Co by by about 1835. If so there may be a clue to help me find the names of Asa's parents. I've been trying for three years to find these names but to no avail. All I know about Asa's youth is that he was born someplace in OH in Feb 1818. Re his parents all I know is they were both born in NJ. Any ideas appreciated. I might also add I have a more complete writ-up on the Asa Davis family and if you think it worth while I could send it to the library for the family files. All for now. Eldon Davis
