I get copies of all revelant information on most Davis' in the se Tn. area. I have a copy of the pension application for John N. Davis b. 10/10/1839 Meigs Co., Tn. and am just wondering if anyone out there knows anything about his parents or siblings. Heres what I have from the application. He enlisted in Capt. W. O. Martin's Co. B 2nd Bat. Cav. (which was later the 5th Tn. Reg.) 11/1/1861 in Decatur, Tn. While in service in early 1862, he contracted measles and was blinded in one eye and the other was severely impaired. He was discharged from duty in Sept 1862. He was 6', fair complexion, black hair, blue eyes. At the time of his enlistment, he was 23. When applying for the pension, he had a wife and 4 children - 2 sons and 2 daughters. He lived until at least 1906. As I said earlier, I'd be interested in knowing which Davis line is his. Thanks Donna
