Research Notes

The spelling of Mr. Davis' first name is in dispute as there is no known birth record. He is mentioned in the book, History of Coshocton County, Ohio : its past and present, 1740-1881, pg. 666, under the category of his father James Davis. The spelling there is Hereford HC Davis. ^[12] I have not found any records to date that show what the H.C. in his name represent. I have had family members state that they may be "Henry Clay", but I have not seen any records to reflect that. Coffman-1600 18:58, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
