DAVIS, section 9, Union Township, post office New York, is a native of the Hawkeye State, born in Batavia in 1855, a son of Friend and Margaret (Crowe) Davis. Friend Davis was born in Hampshire County, Maryland, in 1817. His parents, John and Elsie (Biggerstaff) Davis, were natives of Virginia and immigrated to Fairfield County, Ohio, in 1831, at that time a heavily timbered country, and their farm had to be literally "chopped out," the family living in a log house and living mostly on game till a crop could be raised. Later they moved to Sandusky Purchase, Marion County, Ohio, and there Friend Davis married Margaret Crowe, a native of Ross County, Ohio, daughter of Jacob Crowe, a pioneer of Ross County. He owned three different farms in Ohio, and in 1852 removed his family to Jefferson County, Iowa, and bought 120 acres of wild prairie land, for which he paid $500, and farmed in that county seven years. His wife died in 1859 and he married for his second wife Mrs. Elizabeth Noell, who died August 11, 1885, and he has since lived with his youngest son, Isaac G. A military spirit has been a characteristic of the Davis family. The grandfather of Friend, Joshua Davis, was a soldier in the war of the Revolution, his father was in the war of 1812 and he and three sons enlisted in the war of the Rebellion. He enlisted in the Thirty-seventh Iowa "Gray-beard" Regiment and served three years. Of his sons, Jacob was a member of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, Friend of the Seventeenth Infantry and William of the Fourth Calvary. Jacob and Friend died from the effects of disease contracted in the army and William was discharged on account of disease, the result of his participation in the Arkansas campaign. Of a family of seven sons but three, William, Robert L. and Isaac G., are living. Isaac G. Davis was married September 8, 1881, to Minnie M. Burton, daughter of E. P. Burton, M. D. She was born in Windham County, Vermont, and in 1868 accompanied her parents to New York, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Davis have two children -- Hattie R. and Ernest. They have a pleasant home, the building and tree planting being done by Dr. Burton, of whom Mr. Davis bought it. 1925 census Name: I G Davis Birth Year: abt 1856 Birth Place: Betavia, IA Gender: Male Race: White Marital Status: Married Census Date: 1 Jan 1925 Residence state: Iowa Residence County: Wayne Locality: Corydon Relation to Head: Head Mother: Margaret Crow Mother's Birthplace: Illinois Father: Friend Davis Father's Birthplace: Illinois Marriage Place: Manon Co, Ohio Spouse Name: Minnie M Davis Roll: IA1925_1980 Line: 2 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age I G Davis 69 Minnie M Davis 66
