Hi, I, too, am having trouble with the Davis family. I have a Mary Davis b. 13-Jul-1775 whose father is said to be Samuel Von Davis. The dates are right for this to be one of your Samuel Davis's? Have no dates on Samuel or who he married, just his daughter's marriage to George Jefferson Chamblin saying that the father was Samuel. Why the two different spellings, I don't know. Let me know if these are all related.
