Thanks. My Evan is Evan E. Davis on the 1880 census. I think that it was most likely Davies and was Americanized. I don't have him in Allegheny County, family lore says Johnstown, but anything is possible. the only rub is that a daughter was born in Palmyra in 1875 and a son in 1880 so I can't see a Pittsburgh angle. What does DI stand for? Is is Date of Immigration?
