Rose, I don't know about the Harris' but would be interested in what you know of your John Davis. I am trying to sort out the John Davis' of this area. Mine was murdered/executed about the end of the Revolutionary War. Don't know if it was Hardy/Pendleton/Randolph or possibley even Grant (if it was around then).

Hi Jeff: Most of my Davis info is in a book called Days of Our Davis, it is a fairly new book but it was published by Family History Publishers 845 S. Main, Bountiful Utah, 84010. My John came from (we think) Hardy County, WV. We are not positive but when he died and they got his trunk it held lots of legal papers from that county. This was a large family and they went up to Allen CO, Ohio. John married Leah Harris in VA.and was in Knox, Co, OH. They had these children: 1. James Davis b. 24 Oct 1806 VA. 2. Matilda b. 9 Dec 1807 VA. 3. Mary b. 1809, OH. 4.Nancy b. 29 Jan 1811, Oh. 5. Rebecca b. 3 Nov 1812, OH 6. Rhoda b. 19 May1814, OH. 7. John Davis jr. b. 18 Apr 1816, OH 8. Patsy Davis b. Dec 1818 Knox, OH "MINE" 9. Sarah b. 11 Aug 1820. Leah died with the last child. JOhn went up to Allen County and remarried: Joanna Doty 27 Dec 1821 she died. Rachel Mclane 30 Apr 1833 she died Rebecca Bird 6 Jan 1841 she outlived him. John died 8 Oct 1856, In Allen CO, Ohio.
