EWIS W. DAVIS is a leading farmer and stock raiser of Niles township, and one of the representative citizens of the county of Delaware. His family history is an interesting one and he traces his ancestry back through several gen- erations to Wales, from which country one Charles Davis, the progenitor of the American branch of the family, emigrated to America as early as the year 1724. Charles Davis mar-


ried a Miss Metcalf and reared sons and daughters, among whom was John, who mar- ried Molly Chamness. William Davis, son of John, married Anna Marshall and became the father of Joseph, who, by his marriage with Catherine Farmer, had several children, one of whom, Nathan, was the father of the imme- diate subject of this mention. From the most reliable information obtainable, the family ap- pears to have settled, originally, in North Carolina, from Surry county, of which state, Joseph and Catherine Davis emigrated, in the year 1808, to Ohio, settling in Montgomery county, thence, about 1823, moving to Wayne county, Ind. Joseph Davis purchased a farm of 160 acres in the county of Wayne, upon which the remaining years of his life were passed. He reared the following children: Nathan, father of the subject of this mention; Mary, wife of David Baldwin; William: Annie, wife of Newton Baldwin; Hannah, wife of Dan Thornburg; John and Edom.


In Wayne county Nathan grew to man- hood, and then married Hannah Moore. The brothers and sisters of the latter were: Ander- son, Marshall, William, Zimri, Mrs. Rhoda Pickering, Mrs. Charity Marshall, Dempsey and Rufus Moore. The Moores were moral and religious people, having been reared in the pure, simple doctrines of the Quaker faith. At that time it was the custom to serve out whisky upon nearly every occasion, and the subject's grandfather was the first man in his section of the county who had the moral courage to break away from the time honored custom and refuse absolutely to have anything to do with any kind of intoxicants.


Lewis W. Davis was born May 22, 1841, being one of a family of seven children, whose names are as follows: Newton B., Martha A., wife of Jesse Reed; Rufus H., Mary E., de- ceased; Catharine, deceased, and Sarah A., wife of Eli W. Frazer.
