>From 'The History of Warren Co' by Schenck: Davis, Willard J., Youngsville p.o., Brokenstraw (first), was born in Youngsville, Warren county, in 1828. He was married in 1850 to Laura Littlefield, who was born in Brokenstraw township in 1829. She died in March, 1868, leaving a family of three children -- Walter L., Homer F., and Mary Alice, who was married in 1881 to Mr. J.L. Babbitt of Grand Valley. Willard J. Davis then married his second wife, Meada Root, of Farmington, in September,1869. They have two children -- Grace, born in 1870; and Joe. Mr. Davis is a representative man of his town; was a justice of the peace for five years, a school director for twenty-four years, and is active in all interests relating to his town. He was reared on his father's farm, but at an early age gave his attention to the culture of bees, and is now the largest apiarist in Western Pennsylvania, and is also engaged in general farming. He was a son of Abraham and Ruth (Mead) Davis. She was born in Meadville on August 16, 1789, and her husband, Abraham was born in New Jersey on March 22, 1782. They were married on November 12, 1807, and had a family of ten children -- Elijah, born in 1813; DARIUS, born in 1815; William A., born in 1817; John, born in 1819; Asahel, born in 1824; P. Fillmore, born in 1825; Willard J., born in 1828; Elsie, born in 1808; Susan born in 1809; and Anna, born in 1820; Elsie died in 1850, and John in 1840. Abraham died on March 14, 1863, and his wife Ruth, died on January 25, 1867. Abraham was an early teacher, and became a succesful farmer. He was also interested in the lumber business, and shipped lumber to New Orleans via the Allegheny River. He was a son of Elijah and Desiah (Littell) Davis. Elijah settled in Warren county soon after the close of the Revolutionary War. They had a family of six sons and three daughters, only one of whom, the youngest, is now living -- James, now eighty-two ears of age. Elijah was born in 1757, and participated in the War of the Revolution, and died in the northern part of the county in 1823.'
