    3. I am looking to share information with any person who has knowledge of the DAVIS family of RI (possibly Foster or Warwick) and Otsego County, NY. I think there is a good possibility that my Savilla/Selina DAVIS (b. Foster, RI, 1795) who married Francis TAYLOR (b. Burlington, Otsego Co., 1793) is closely related to the Davis families of Otsego County, NY. Several of DAVIS and TAYLOR families are enumerated very close together in the early Otsego County Censuses. Another family in the immediate area was COLGROVE. Susannah TAYLOR (1748-1822) and her husband Mager/Mayer/Major COLGROVE (1759-1830) have ties to Foster, RI and the DAVIS family. I have not found the burial place of Francis and Savilla, but the following DAVIS individuals were buried at the Taylor Hill Cemetery in Otsego Co., NY (according to "Cemetery Inscriptions of Edmeston, N.Y." published in the NEHG Register Vol. 101, April 1947, p. 93): Nathan DAVIS. Born Aug 10, 1802. Died Sept. 16, 1887. Hannah his wife Died Oct. 14, 1864 age 61 yrs 8 months. Hiram son of Nathan and Hannah DAVIS. Killed by lightning Aug. 5, 1862 age 22 yrs 15 days. Olive, daughter of Nathan and Hannah DAVIS died Aug. 13, 1828 age 2 yrs, and 3 months. Mary J, daughter of Nathan and Hannh DAVIS died Feb. 4, 1825, age 7 months. Henry son of Nathan and Hannah DAVIS. Ishmael DAVIS died Sept. 1816 [aged illegible]. Mrs. Anna, wife of Ishmael DAVIS died Feb. 28, 1812 in 70th yr. of age. William Davis 1778-1843.
