Newsletter for the interchange of genealogical data and history of the Davis (and variant spellings) families who came mainly from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Some allied families came from the West Indies. In the 1600-1700s, Davis families lived in Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Early progenitors include (but are not limited to): Samuel Davis I (ca. 1610-1667) of Isle of Wight County, Virginia; Jonathan Davis of Orange County, Virginia who married Lucy Gibbs in 1756; John Davis (died ca. 1799) of Edgecombe County; and Richard Davis (born ca. 1690) of Granville County, North Carolina. During the 1800s, some moved to Alabama, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, the Indian Territory of Oklahoma, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Vermont. Later descendants and relatives also lived in Mexico, and in Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington, and elsewhere. Some have African American bloodlines, and some slaves' names are included. Back issues, indexes, subscriptions, and other information is available on the editor's Web site.
