Henry DAVIS was enumerated in the 1860 Putnam Co., TN, census in the household of Anderson DAVIS, whose wife, Nancy, may have been a dau of William WILLIS. Compare these two censuses:
1850 Census
Overton Co., TN
Dist. 5
Pg 32A
20 Sep 1850
HH 432/433
Ln 10
DAVIS, Anderson 41 TN Farmer
Nancy 43 TN
Louisa 19 TN (Idiot) [Luraney in 1860 census]
Hannah 18 TN
James 15 TN
Henry 13 TN
Mary 10 TN
Elizabeth 7 TN
Nancy 2 TN
WILLIS, William 74 VA
1860 Census
Putnam Co., TN
Civil Dist. 6
White Plains P.O.
27 Jun 1860
Pg 27B (54)
HH 346/346
Ln 1
DAVIS, Nancey 52 TN Farmer
Luraney 30 TN (Idiot)
Elizabeth 17 TN
Nancy 12 TN
DAVIS, Henry 23 TN Farmer
Jane 19 TN
James 7/12 TN
DAVIS, Henry 74 NC ["Davis Sen," i.e., Henry DAVIS, Sr., prob Nancy's father-in-law]
Anderson DAVIS is listed in the 1860 Putnam Co. Mortality Schedule as having d in May 1860 from pneumonia. It would appear that William WILLIS may have d betw the 1850 and 1860 censuses, and that the widowed Nancy (prob WILLIS) Davis was caring for Henry DAVIS, the father of her deceased husband after he died.
I descend from Anderson and Nancy's son Henry DAVIS and his wife, Elizabeth Jane FORD, who was the dau of Rev. Abraham FORD and Nancy WOMACK.
I cannot track these DAVIS and WILLIS lines beyond the older Henry DAVIS and the William WILLIS shown. Anyone know anything about these persons?
