General Notes: Husband - Dr. Robert W. Davis, M.D.


He was reared to manhood on his father's farm, receiving his primary education at the common schools of his district, after which he attended Washington and Jefferson College. He read medicine with Dr. John Russell Wilson, and attended lectures at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, but his occupation was chiefly farming.
He owned a farm in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, situated about two and one-half miles from Washington, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, but his home after his marriage was on West Chestnut street, in the borough. Politically he was originally a Whig, then, on the formation of the party, a stanch Republican. He was first connected with the First Presbyterian Church, but later was a member and trustee of the Third Presbyterian Church.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Ann Spriggs


She was the mother of three children, two of whom were still living in 1893.
