Davis ....(this also mentions John's sister Josaphine Davis) from Starke County Historical Book written by Joseph N. McCormick, published by THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 1915 p. 517, "Mr. Uncapher was married in Oregon Township to Miss Josephine Davis, who represents another family of early settlers in Starke County. She was born in Darke County, Ohio, August 22, 1854, and when eleven years of age was brought by her parents to Starke County. Her parents were Andrew J. and Rachel (Whittaker) Davis, both natives of Darke County, where they were married. In 1865 the parents and eight children moved to Oregon Township. Andrew J. Davis was for eight years a conductor on the Big Four Railway, and was for many years in railway service. During the Civil war he served more than three years as a Union soldier, and held a non-commissioned office. It was the hard- ships of army life that shortened his life, since he contracted disease in the South and died at the age of about forty-five. Andrew J. Davis was a man who deserves much credit for the gallant fight he made in providing a place for himself in the world, since he was depending on his own resources from the age of six years and earned his way through the world from that time. His widow lived to be seventy-five years of age." (note His middle initial should be C in both the book and his military records and census records but has been transcribed as G,C or J.) Military record in the book lists him as Andrew C Davis Corporal Company G 133 and 193 Regiment Ohio Grovertown Post office and his death as Dec 28, 1872. ----------------------------------- -------------------------------- 1870 Oregon, Starke County, Indiana Andrew C Davis 43 Saloon Keeper 1600 400 Rachel Davis 40 housekeeping John Davis age 18 ***** Josephine Davis age 16 James H Davis age 13 Mary A Davis age 11 Andrews Davis age 9 Elvin E Davis age6 ----------------------------- 1880 Census Polk, Marshall County, Indiana House number 160 Robert Biggles age 53 Farmer b.

Nebraska ----------------------------------- the back of this photo is written in unfamiliar handwriting, "John Davis who was the father of Earl Davis". Hazel Pearl (Davis)Floyd his grand daughter and daughter of the toddler in the photo here, she labeled the photo "John Davis and Earl Davis No idea when taken but Daddy was born April 8, 1885 in Kansas. His real mother passed away and he had a Stepmother. All the kids left home at an early age." guessing the photo for him sometime late 1886 guessing toddler Lucean Earl Davis' age from the photo. Also we have a letter from Mrs Jas. H Davis Fort Collins Colorado 1933 to Archie Davis and she signs the letter Aunt Carrie. (Archie was Hazel's brother) this James H Davis family I have determined is the brother of this John Morgan Davis and the letter is from his much younger wife, maybe a second wife and is located on the 1930 Fort Collins, Colorado Census.
