I am researching on the Henry Davis family that appears on the 1850 Tazewell Co., VA Census Family listed is; #1003 Henry Davis 40 Cyphy (Sytha or Sitha) 36 Betsy 17 Kissia 15 Adam 12 Ben 10 John 8 Gerry (Jerimiah) 6 Henry 4 I have no proof of who the parents are for Henry Davis, I assume to be Henry Davis and Sarah Mallett, If anyone is working on these Davis please email me direct thank you. Adam was in the 39th Ky. Mounted Infantry and was killed on Jan 1, 1863, He was shot, also killed at the same time was George Washington Charles. They were considered deserters, but had never joined the Confedrate lines. They were captured by the Conf Unit and executed while all were made to watch. I have no proof yet but think that George Washington Charles was Adam Davis' brother in law, as Adam's wifes name was Clarissa Charles. The obit. for Elder David Davis of the Elkhorn Prmitive Baptist Church Minutes states that She and Adam were Elder David Davis parents. He died in 1925. this is the date of the Minutes that I have. That he was a son of a Civil War Veteran that was killed in the Civil War.
