Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZdB.2ACI/1016.2.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks Nancy. The following note was on page 1035 of the book "History of the Juniata Valley" : The first member of this branch of the DAVIS family of whom there was a record is William DAVIS, born in Blair Co., PA. He was left an orphan at an early age and was brought to Penn Twp., Huntingdon Co., by his paternal aunt, Mrs. Jane GEISSINGER, who made the journey across the mountains on horseback to bring the child to her own home. He grew up at the GEISSINGER farm and at a suitable age learned the carpenter's trade, becoming an expert mechanic. After his marriage he located at Marklesburg, where he worked at his trade, later becoming a contractor, mamy buildings in that locality yet standing as mute witnesses of his industry and skill. After several years as a successful builder, his health failed, compelling a change of occupation. He purchased a farm in the neighborhood, spending the years 1870 to 1875 thereon, then retired to a home in Huntingdon, where he died in 1876. He was a Democrat in politics, and both he and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church." I am hoping that: Ithis was actually Jane BARRACK/BARRICK GEISSINGER, whose son-in-law, Dewalt Shontz FOUSE, was a first cousin of William's wife, Mary Ann MOYER.

Hi: The Cresswells are collateral ancestors because of their intermarriage with the WILSON family. I only have entered those Cresswells: Matthew Cresswell, b. ?? d. 1835, West Twp, Huntingdon Co. m. Sarah Leonard b. ?? d. Nov 1837, Huntingdon Co. His Will dated 26 Jan 1835, prob. 28 Nov 1835, mentions wife, Sarah, S-I-L James Wilson Children known: Jacob, b. ca 1790 m. Asenath WILSON, of Thomas Sarah, b. ca 1790 m. James WILSON, of Thomas & Agness Scott Wilson Martha, b. 19 Jul 1797, m. James Wilson, ca 1822, of Charles Wilson Other children mentioned in his Will: John, Alexander, *Robert, Margaret m. Henry Hewit, Elizabeth, m. John Jackson, Mary, m. John Steinman., (this) Mathew m. Nancy but he died before 1835. It certainly looks like one of the sons of Matthew and Sarah is the father of your Matthew. By checking the 1880 census on the LDS site, you could possibly eliminate some.

Itinger Beir Cathrine Huston Thomas Wimer George Lane Marietta Stewart Anna Wilkels John W. Green Frank Gerlock Abraham McClallen Letterman Amelia H. Brumbaugh Harvey Brumbaugh Leister John Loner nine stones that were unreadable I believe that there are some names that are incorrect and will do my best to get correct information. The data was collected by the investigating officer and I doubt that tombstone reading was covered in his police training. All in all, he did a remarkable job considering the circumstances.
