General Notes: Husband - Greeley Davis


He was of Welsh extraction.
During the war of 1812 he enlisted in the American army, and for meritorious services received a land warrant. Some years after his marriage he removed from the state of New York to the wilds of Warren County, Pennsylvania. Selling out his home there, he removed to Pleasantville, Venango County, where he lived on a farm until his death, in his seventy-sixth year.


General Notes: Wife - Lucy Dow


She was a woman of limited education, but had a strong taste for reading and study (which she imbibed from her father), and was possessed of a wonderful memory and perception. She soon became known in the community in which she lived as a person of extensive knowledge in history, literature and the politics of the day. It is said that she had read every President's message and state paper from George Washington down to the time of her death. She was the mother of twelve children, all of whom lived to become men and women and married.
