Davis Families in Indiana, Lebanon P.O., Jackson Twshp, Boone Co., Enumeration Districts 125 and 126, 1880

In 1880, the township of Jackson was divided into two districts, 125 and 126, for census enumeration. In 1880, the family relationships were recorded, which is extremely helpful in piecing together the kindred puzzles. Below is a list of the Davis families of both, recorded by order of family number. As before, I'll list surname, also age and estimated date of birth, followed by notes.

William and Susan Davis of the 1870 Jackson, Boone, IN census are represented here 10 years older in 1880 by family 107. Also interesting here is Morning Davis, b. 1815 KY, family 105, because one of Wm and Susan's daughters is named Nancy Morning, an unusual name which suggests a relationship.
