    3. Hi Maryann, I wouldn't mind seeing what you have for a few generations of descendants for Jacob & Belitje. I also don't mind sending you my own GEDCOM w/ the info I have on the family. In a nutshell (if there is such a thing for this tangled bunch!), I know that Beletje Davids & my ancestor John Courtright were cousins. Beletje was the d/o Salomon Davids & Lea Decker, Lea was the d/o Jacob Jans Decker & Antje Cortright. Antje was the d/o Hendrick Jansen Cortright & Catherine Hansen Weber, who are also the great-great grandparents of my John Courtright. All these people are found in the Minisink Dutch Reformed Church records. Jacob Figley & family are found w/ their children the same time frame as John Courtrights parents (John Cortright & Susanna Kittle) in the church records. I know there were many Davis' around the Ohio Valley near John Courtright & Jacob Figley. How many, if any, were relatives of Beletje Davids? Did any of her siblings move to the OV? I know that her sister Lea Davids married Jeremiah KITTLE, brother of Susanna Kittle my John Courtrights mother. (I told you this was a tangled bunch!) I also know that her brother Jonas Davis/Davids moved to Beaver Co., PA but supposedly they had no children : 1888 Beaver County History book. JAMES C. 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. Another sister Elizabeth Davids married Jonas Cortright, another cousin, but they are found still in Sussex co., NJ for the 1850 census. However there were plenty of other siblings that could have moved to the OV. John Courtright's son Milo married 7/20/1847 in Jefferson Co., OH to Ann elizabeth DAVIS, supposedly daughter of a Joseph Davis. She was born 3/21/1827 Steubenville, Jefferson Co., OH. They moved to CA c1850, they had 2 children & Milo left her. He was the black sheep of the family! anyway I'd love to know if Joseph is actually part of the Davids family from NJ. Sorry to be so long winded.....Cindy Cindy Torres Owens [email protected] http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/o/w/e/Cindy-L-Owens/index.html
