Hi Folks;
Its me again with the weekly Brainstorming message. I hope Lin got some useful info from this past week's Brainstorming--good luck with your search Lin.
This week we feature Brooke with "James Wesley DAVIS-30 year-Brick Wall" posted 1/10/2003. Unfortunately, Brooke hasn't provided much data to go on and hasn't responded to Carolyn's queries so the data is pretty scanty. Brooke, I know you received a lot of feedback on this
Brickwall--an update would be greatly appreciated. A gist of Brooke's brickwall follows:
James Wesley DAVIS
b. 1815-KY
d. Chariton Co. MO. (moved there ca. 1875)
m. Mary Margaret BAKER, 1838 in Rushville IL
Mary Margaret BAKER
b. ??
d. ?
Children:
???
Salient Quotes:
"James "Moved to Schuyler Co, IL by 1830..."
"cannot find his parents....found info that the Rushville Church had a Rev (DAVIS) that moved there from KY in the 1820's."
"MO census shows father from MD and mother from VA...both died there (MO)....cannot find where he is buried.Another researcher thinks he may be (buried) outside of ?Montivella? (MO)....found land records that indicate Drury,(and) Henry (DAVIS) always (lived) close by....not sure who is who?
*********************************
Next week will be Anya's turn with "Noah MASON" posted 1/14/2003. Like Brooke the data Anya has provided is very scanty and needs to be updated, and she has not responded to Carolyn's queries. Anya, I know Gordon responded to you original query. Can you update? A gist of Anya's brickwall follows:
Noah MASON
b. 1782, Mendon Worcester County Mass.
d. 18 Nov 1834, Sangamon Co., IL
m. Lucinda STETSON
Lucinda STETSON
b.
d.
Children:
???
Salient Quotes:
"He moved his large family....to Sangamon County IL and lived there until he died....I cannot locate his parents or siblings. I know he was bond to a hard master from which he ran away age 14 to the life of a sailor but I haven't been able to locate his birth record. Or even any record of his being a sailor. I would like to know where I might find a death record for him....(and) the name of his parents."
Cheers, Wayne |

Hi Brooke;
A Google search got the followng plus a whole lot more. In addition to
the fact that there were a number of men named John Wesly Davis, he
apparently has a lot of descendants looking for his parents. Perhaps
corrrespondence with some will provide a break for you. Cheers, Wayne

land sales.

Francis and Mary Brandenberg Baker. Mary M. was born August 17, 1818 in
Flemingburg, Ky.
The 1840 census shows James W. and family in precinct 2 .
1850 census James and family lived in Eden Township.
1860 census they were in Bainbridge twp and 1865 state census shows them
still in Bainbridge twp.
By 1870 James W. and family have moved to Chariton County Missouri.

move to Mo. I have no record. All other children have been traced down to
the present time. James and Mary with sons George W. and William S. and
wives moved to south Missouri near Montevella Mo. sometimeabout 1884 or 85
where they remained until James death 12-27-1886. About 1888 or 89 son

timber with york tittle upon a fair valuation of two or more persons
appointed by my executors which I will herafter name.
I, Francis Baker, do hereby bequeath to my now surviving children, equally
whatever sum my farm and stock may fetch, after my sons, George Baker and
Dorsey Baker are paid with what they advanced to Mathius Masters--I further
appoint George Baker and Dorsey Baker my executors to settle and administer
my affairs.
Writing this my hand and seal this 10th day of July 1841 Francis Baker
(seal)
I do testify this as Francis Baker's last will and testamont. signed,

Enshrined 1987
Daniel Jeremiah Haughton was born on Thursday, September 7, 1911 on a
farm near the small town of Dora in Walker County, Alabama, about 15
miles northwest of Birmingham, Alabama. His father was Gayle Haughton,
Sr., who was a storekeeper and a merchant. His mother was Mattie Davis
Haughton, a rural schoolteacher who learned to make the most of anything
she had. His father traced his ancestry back to Peter S. Gayle, a
leading minister of the Southern Baptist Church, and to Lieutenant
Thomas Gayle, who was born in England in 1750 and served the Colonies in
the Revolutionary War as a Minuteman volunteer and then later as a
regular in the Battle of Yorktown. In addition, he traced his ancestry
through his mother to Dr. William Henry Snow, a medical doctor and a
Methodist Church circuit rider, and also to James Wesley Davis who was
wounded in the Civil War. The Gayle-Haughtons also had a daughter, and
she and Dan were very devoted to one another.

Anya;
Genealogy.com has a lot of data on the name "Noah Mason". Unfortunately, there were a lot of them in 17th and 18th Century MA (reminiscent of my Straight ancestors during the same time period in R.I. and MA). A cursory analysis suigests most if not all of these Noahs were related somehow and quite possibly descended, in one way or another, from Sampson Mason.
Most of the family trees on G.com referred to a Noah Mason who was born in the 17th Century in MA to Sampson Mason. None of those referring to your Noah Mason reflected the names of his parents.

This is correct census information.
And it shows the mother from VA and the father from MD.
I still do not know his parents.
I think it maybe Benjamin (MD)and Estella Davis(Va)
But I still cannot find the connection. This is the brickwall, his parents.
Thanks to everyone for all the help.
Between my husband's triple bypass six months ago and my monitor going out, I have not responded to all and had not seen all of these message until now.
I will make a note on each to Thank and verify which I know. |

I do have Mary Margaret Davis parents,
Francis Baker and Mary Brandenburg.
There is much history on them.
I do have all the descendants of James Wesley and Mary M Baker.
I believe James Wesley may have had at least two brothers, Henry D.B. Davis and Drury B Davis.
I have seen on Ancestry .com that Benjamin and Estella Davis had two children Drury(?) and Eundocia no others listed.
Benjamin Davis went from MD>KY>IL
According to census records, James Wesley's father was born in MD, James was born in KY, then moved to IL. It sounds very promising, how do I prove the conection?
There was another James W Davis also in Schuyler about the same time, I believe he was a preacher and died there near Rushville. He could have been Sr
All of you have alot more experience than I, What are your thoughts? THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS! |
