My Davis family pretty much stayed in Monongahela River area, moving back & forth between Washington County and Fayette Co along the river. Many of their descendants are still living there. They were laborers in different capacities and married into the Bumgarner, Horner?, Core, Dales, Fonner, Harden, Sibert lines from what I now know. I believe the line comes down from John Davis in Redstone & Luzerne Twp. area in the late 1790s. His son, George (not proven) was in E. Beth. Twp., Wash. Co.,Pa. by 1804 tax list. His wife was Mary. George died abt. 1852 in E. Pike Twp., Mary aft.1880 in W.Beth.Twp. They had children: John, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret, Joseph, Sarah Rebecca, and Samuel Elliott Finley Davis. Joseph was my gggdfather, b. 1810 E. Beth. Twp. near Millsboro & Fredericktown area. He was a cooper/joiner. His first wife was Elizabeth Edith Bumgarner b.abt.1814, d/o Joseph Joel Bumgarner & Lydia Sprindler. They were married in Jan. 1829 by John Bowers, Esq. They had children: Joel B.b. 1830, said to have married Sarah Horner and in 1870 census was in Rostraver Twp., Westmoreland Co.

Harden of Luzerne Twp.,Fayette Co.,Pa. They moved to the W. Beth, Wash. Co. area by 1880 and lived beside the Davis Covered Bridge near Zollarsville on the Ten Mile Creek that joined Wash. with Greene Co. Their only child to live through adulthood was my great- grandfather, Joseph Allen Davis, Jr. b. 1857 in E. Beth. Twp. He married Sarah Ida Sibert of Greene Co. and they had children: William Henry, Cora Belle, and Robert Earl Davis. Sarah died in 1896 of TB and is buried on the Wise Farm in W. Beth.

His mother eventually moved to his home and she d. 1920 and Joseph in 1940. Both are buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery near Ten Mile.
