I ran into another one of those frequent brick walls today. Its name was William F. Davis. Although he died young, he left quite a legacy, five daughters. I only wish I could do him the honor of establishing his ancestral lineage. Maybe someone will help. Here's what I know about him, not inconsiderable.
William F. Davis was born 1 Oct 1824 in Bath, Kentucky.
On 2 Apr 1846, he married Catherine Clodfelter in Greencastle, Putnam, Indiana. He was 22, and she was 18 years old.
In Jan, 1847, about nine months later, they had a daughter, Elizabeth.
In 1848, Louisa was born.
In 1850, Sarah J.
In 1852, Menerva.
In 1855, lastly, Amanda E. was born. She was the only one born in Iowa--her sisters in Indiana--so I surmise the family moved between 1852/55.
On 21 Oct 1857, William Davis died at age 33 in Washington Twp, Wapello, Iowa. He was buried in Ashland Twp.
If you would like more information or can help me identify William's parents or siblings, please leave a comment.
