Uriah Davis was born in Maryland and married in Madison CO Ky to Elizabeth Harris. In 1818 he is listed in Saline County history as living in the settlement of Edmondson's Bottom. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mosaline/history.htm One know son of Uriah and Elizabeth is Tyree Davis. He was born 17 Sept 1815 in KY. Aside from information on Harris' trying to help Tyree's children retain their inheritances from the second wife, I know nothing else about Uriah Davis, Elizabeth Harris Davis or John Harris.
