I've contacted the list previously about my Batchelder-Rickard brickwall, but I also find the Delaware Co.-Fairfield, CT connection interesting. The ancestors of my 2 gr-grandfather, Levi Davis (Gershom, Joseph), who was born in Harpersfield October 10, 1821 and died March 24, 1905 in Jackson, MN, also came from Fairfield, CT. I would be glad to hear from anyone else researching this family. I only recently got back to working on the Davis side of the Davis-Batchelder family. Pat sp.gilles@insightbb.com
