    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: DAVIS/EICHER/BRUNER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WdB.2ACI/1790.1.2 Message Board Post: I saw your query by chance(my e-mail had changed). I do not have any Rachel in my files though it's possible. Davis is not a direct line of mine. I did copy the below info for you in case you are not familiar with it which references how Davis ties into my lines of BRUNER and EICHER. Jenni History of Fayette County, by Franklin Ellis, Philadelphia, L H Everts and Company, 1882, p743 SALT LICK TOWNSHIP Shadrach Davis, by birth an Englishman, came to Salt Lick about the same time as the Dumbaulds. He was the father of Abraham Davis and Joshua Davis who were prominent in the history of the township. The former first lived on Champion Run on the farm now owned by Amos Millr, but died at the hamlet of Davistown where he owned and operated mills. He reared sons named Samuel Davis, who moved to Springfield in 1830 settling on the farm now owned by his son, Solomon Davis, where he died in 1873; Jacob Davis, yet living in Westmoreland county; Benjamin Davis and William Davis who removed to Defiance, Ohio; John Davis, Jehu Davis and Solomon Davis died in Salt Lick. The daughters of Abraham Davis married William Stull, Samuel Eicher, David Stull, Jacob Snyder, Eli Gallentine, and Daniel Bruner. Joshua David lived in the northwestern part of the township until his removal to Jefferson county about 1838.
