Elisha Davis

(1795 - 1862)



In the 1830 Census, Perry Co, Elisha Davis is head of a household of two men; one aged 30-40, one 80-90. Presumably Elisha and his father Moses. The Deed Index shows that Moses sold his property to Elisha early in 1836.

Elisha went to Clark Co, Arkansas with his nephews, two of the sons of his brother John. He is found there in 1850, age 55, born Georgia. I don't believe he ever married.
