Surnames: Davis Drane Malone Justis Runnels Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ihB.2ACI/4171 Message Board Post: I have found info that may connect my Davis' to the Nathan Davis on the 1783 Tax List. There was an article in an 1882 Newspaper in which a lady mentioned that her family moved here about 1796. She said among her neighbors were Nathan Davis and Samuel McAmis. From the records I have it APPEARS that the family of Jesse Davis is connected to Nathan Davis in some way. All the records I have show the Jesse Davis family and descendants had lived beside or near A McAmis family or their descendants from 1830 - 1880. The Davis' lived in Locust Grove/Springs? and Newmansville. In 1860 Fields Davis has a Neighbor with 2 children named Thomas and Charles N. McAmis Anyone with any info on either of these families, where they lived, or especially Fields Davis and his descendants please contact me. Other neighbors included Dranes/Malones/Justis'/Runnels/ etc.
