ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PUBLISHED-1952 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATE.S OF AMERICA. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND THANKS Family histories are never finished, and though this one was started more than forty years ago, it is still unfinished, and has many omissions, and perhaps mistakes, but may serve to inspire members of the family to send in data they may have, which will help to complete the record. Thou­ sands of letters have been written, in preparation of this history, many trips made to far away inaccessible places and cemeteries, and hundreds of interviews held with in­ terested people. Court Records have been searched, old wills read, and Bible Records unearthed which had been forgot­ ten for generations. Some letters have been answered promptly, with accurate information, while others have failed to reply or if they did reply, gave meager data. To those of you who have been gracious in your replies, and generous in sending in your family records, the Author is eternally grateful, but it is to your own descendants that you have made this contribution of time and effort, and it is a tribute we all should pay to those worthy ancestors of ours who paved the way for our liberty, our prosperity and our happiness. It would be impossible to mention all of the people who have made this history possible, but my deepest debt of gratitude is due to Eleanor Davis McSwain, and her husband, Horace L.

  • Country Cousins Volume 1 Descendants of William Davis (Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales)
    COUNTRY COUSINS VOLUME 1 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM DAVIS (WELSHPOOL, MONTGOMERYSHIRE, WALES) RELATIVES OF JERALD, LOWELL, AND BOYD DAVIS BY ERA JOSEPHINE MORGAN DAVIS (EDITED BY JERALD MORGAN DAVIS) 1 December 2013 Version 1.0 A MEMORIAL This volume of Country Cousins is dedicated, as all of the many subsequent volumes of the family history will be, as a memorial to Curron David Davis and Era Josephine Morgan (parents of Jerald Morgan Davis, Lowell Kenneth Davis, and Thomas Boyd Davis) for the excellent genes they passed on to their children, the superb values they instilled in us (sometimes forcefully if that was needed), and their dedication to assuring that we were well prepared to face the challenges of life with a constructive, positive, can do attitude that has permitted us to meet the challenges of life and enjoy life with confidence and a smile. These volumes are also a memorial to the lifelong passion of Era Josephine Morgan Davis to discover and preserve our family history and to help others do the same with theirs. We did not get to vote on any of these things before we were born but we are deeply indebted to our parents for who they were, what they stood for, and what they did for us with the limited resources they were dealt in life. It is with love and affection and with deep respect and admiration that we dedicate these volumes of our family history to them. Our parents and all of our extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close cousins were experts at doing the very best they could with the cards that life dealt them while accepting the things they could not change, changing the things they could, and trying hard to understand the difference between them.

  • Biographical Notices of Graduates of Yale College
    BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES OF GRADUATES OF Y ALE COLLEGE INCLUDING T HOSE GRADUATED IN CLASSES LATER THAN 1815, WHO ARE NOT COMMEMORATED IN THE ANNUAL OBITUARY RECORDS BY FRANKLIN B OWDITCH DEXTER, LITT.D. SAISSUED A SUPPLEMENT TO THE OBITUARY RECORD NEW HAVEN— 1913 PREFACE Biographical S ketches of the graduates of Yale College to 1815 have already been published, in six octavo volumes ; and when it became necessary to bring this series of Sketches to a close, the author was requested by the Cor poration of the University to compile a supplementary volume, of those deceased graduates of the College, of Classes later than 1815, who have not been included in the Obituary Records, published annually since 1860. fMany o the notices in the volume thus compiled have a certain sameness, as commemorating those who died too soon to have achieved much; while another considerable group consists of those who were early lost sight of, or whose distant residence has obscured their later history. The time which could be given to the task of compilation has limited the amount of research, but it is hoped that the results justify the design. BIOGRAPHICAL N OTICES GRADUATES OF YALE COLLEGE CLASSF O l8l6 REUBEN B OOTH, son of Reuben H. and Sarah Booth, was born in Newtown, Connecticut, on November 26, 1794. The family removed to Kent in his boyhood, and he entered Yale at the opening of Sophomore year. In 1814 his father, who was a wool-carder, was drowned in the Housatonic River, leaving him dependent on his own exertions.
