Hello Margaret and List, Yes, I do believe you found Elizabeth and John in Montour County! Thank you!!I'm starting to wonder if they did indeed have children.....I haven't found any. However, I also wondered about the Thomas Davis as John's son ... but at 21 he would have been born 5 years before John's marriage in 1834. He would also be a bit young to be John's brother. Still, there could be a relationship..... I have no idea who the Hughes family is with William and Sarah Prosser on the 1850 Bloom, Columbia Co census either. Looking at the ages of the Hughes, perhaps Mary Hughes could be a daughter of John and Elizabeth Davies.... I will look at the Hughes more closely to see what turns up. I thank you so much for taking the time to help out. I am sure you've found the correct John an Elizabeth in 1850.
