The closest i've came to a father is Martin Davis b. 1842 and in the 1870 and 1880 censuses Martin (b. 1862) is living with either a Mary Davis or Margaret Davis his father is never listed from 1860 - 1880. Which is what's frustrating. I've never found a definate marriage record for Martin b. 1842 either. My Martin's Grandparents are most likley Fields and Mary Davis who did have a Martin age 18 listed in their household in 1860.
