(Wish I could get 'lucky' in my search) Here's the Davis listings in the 1888 Beaver County Hsitory book. DAVIS, JOSEPH Company C, 63 regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, Private, DAVIS, Joseph, August 1, 1861 discharged on surgeons certificate March 8, 1863.

RICHIE, farmer, ...was b. in Hopewell Township, March 10, 1824...Robert, father of J.C(Richie) ...became an orphan in early childhood and was raised by his aunt and uncle, JONAS and JEANETTE DAVIS. They settled in Hopewell Twp. in 1796. Robert was eighteen years old, and as they (the Davis) had no children he (Robert Richie) inherited the homestead. (It then goes on to describe Robert and his descendents). I plan to take on the Figleys tomorrow as daylight is fading and the print in this book is small. Carol
