I am looking for some help, trying to find good information on John Davis that was in Abbeville, S.C. The info I have may not be enough, or even correct, but here's what I think I figured out. In 1818 John Davis was standing with David Christopher in a bonding for 2 minor Christopher boys. In 1820, John is on the census, living next to a Christopher family, as he is in 1830, in Abbeville. From searching, it may that he was married to Ursula Hall, but I am not sure of that information. It appears that John died in 1831, and in an index of his Will, he names his grandson, John Davis Christopher. Can anyone help me further the line on this John Davis? Any and all help appreciated.

There is a connection to CHRISTOPHER, DAVIS in Mecklenburg Co, VA. See the marriage of John DAVIS to Elizabeth HOWERTON and one of David CHRISTOPHER'S daughters, Susannah married an OVERTON, believed to be the same name as HOWERTON. Maybe the connections began in VA. What do you think? Audrey I see this record: CHRISTOPHER, (MINORS) -- Box 106, Pack 2692: On Apr 6, 1818 David CHRISTOPHER, John DAVIS, James COBB bound unto Taliferro Livingston Ord. Abbeville Dist. sum $2,000. David CHRISTOPHER made grn. of Wm., Buckner Griffin CHRISTOPHER, minors under 14 yrs. Many of the families of Upper South Carolina migrated from Southside VA and it looks like both DAVIS and CHRISTOPHER may be a couple of them. Marriages of Mecklenburg Co, VA: 28 Aug 1798. John DAVIS and Elizabeth HOWERTON, of age. Sur: Drury HOWERTON. Wit: Nathaniel HARPER. Married 9 September by the Rev Peter WYNNE. p 106. Wills of Mecklenburg Co, VA: "CHRISTOPHER, David Will Book 2, Page 53 Names: Wife - Elizabeth CHRISTOPHER Children: Susannah OVERTON (believed to be the same as HOWERTON), William CHRISTOPHER, elizabeth CHRISTOPHER, Frances CHRISTOPHER, Mary CHRISTOPHER, Nancy CHRISTOPHER*, Sarah CHRISTOPHER, Jacobus CHRISTOPHER.
