In the 1850 US Census of Watauga county on page 112 taken on the 6 of Aug 1850, line 76 James Davis age 44 farmer real value $100 born NC Nancy age 38 female born NC Catherine age 19 female born NC William age 14 male born NC ELBERT age 16 born NC Calhoun age 15 male born NC Harvy age 12 male born NC Martha Ann age 10 female born NC Ellinor age 6 female born NC Belzora age 6 female born NC (these two must have been twins) Sarah age 3 female born NC Christian 6 months male born NC. AND in the 1850 US Census of Watauga County on page 144 taken on 3 Oct 1850 another family: Thomas Davis age 46 farmer born NC Lurany age 41 female born NC ELBERT age 17 male born NC Emily age 16 female born NC Thomas age 14 male born NC Emeline age 12 female born NC William age 10 male born NC Franky age 8 female born NC Asa age 6 male born NC Aley age 5 female born NC Henry age 4 male born NC John age 2 male born NC Unfortunately, there is no indication on the census as to where in Watauga County these people lived, but a later one might show which one lived in Cove Creek. Of course there would be two of them .........and no matches among children's names, I do wonder, though if Thomas and James could have been brothers.
