Hello- This information comes from four pages torn from a small bible that were inserted in a larger Bible that was in the possession of my mother's family, the Mussers. The Fanny Davis referred to in these pages married Henry Ross Musser. So far as we know, all events occurred in Baltimore except as noted. I am hoping someone on the list can connect to the Davis/Armistead family. Who are John Davis (the father) and Frances Armistead? I cannot tie Frances to the family of the famous George Armistead, defender of Baltimore during the War of 1812. I'd be happy to send a scan of the pages to anyone who is interested. John Davis b. 1 Mar 1794, married Frances Armisted, 16 May 1816. Fanny Davis d. 25 Aug. 1849. Their children: David Davis, b. 9 March 1819, d. 25 Aug. 1846. Sarah Ann Davis, b. 7 Jul 1821. John Davis, b. 15 Dec 1823, d. 9 Feb. 1850. Mary Isabell Davis, 24 Jan. 1826, married John C. Echert 11 Nov. 1851; d. 7 Jan. 1853. Joseph Henry Davis, b. 25 Mar 1828; married Mary Ann Groom 30 Oct. 1851. Barbara Ann Davis, b. 14 May 1830. Frances Jane Davis, b. 4 Mar 1832. Thomas Reese Davis, b. 27 Sep. 1834. Robert Armsted Davis, b. 11 Sep. 1836. Margaret Davis, b. 6 Aug 1838. In addition, from the Musser Bible itself, we know that Frances Jane Davis m. Henry Ross Musser 25 Nov. 1856 (presumed to be Baltimore), and died 16 Sep. 1872 in Lynchburg, VA. Baltimore newspaper records confirm some of the above dates: In the Baltimore American, marriage notice for John Davis and Frances Armistead, "last Thursday, by Rev. Wells, all of Baltimore," notice published 21 May 1816. In the Baltimore Sun, death notice for Jno. Davis, Jr., 9 Feb. 1850; and marriage notice for Joseph Henry Davis, 30 Oct. 1851, to Mary A.
