The name of the county was changed from Cass to Davis during the Civil War years and was not changed back till later in the 1870's. Don't remember the date at the moment. You will find it listed as Cass on the 1850, 1860, 1880 and on up. Just the one census taken in 1870 was listed under the name of Davis County. So some of them on the list were in the Cass County area. Hope this helps.
