General Notes: Husband - Othneil Davis

New York state; Warsaw Twp, Jefferson Co, PA

He was born in McKean County, Pennsylvania, and came to Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, in young manhood, and his parents followed him to that section, spending their latter years there with their sons Othniel and Jackson.
Summerville, and they

He married and they continued to reside at Summerville for several years, during which he was engaged as a teamster, as well as in other work. From there he removed to the Carrier farm at Brookville, upon which he remained as a tenant for a few years, until he bought and moved to the Curtis farm near Summerville. After that he lived successively at Heathville and Puckerty, this county, having bought 240 acres on the left bank of Red Bank creek, upon which he lumbered, clearing and improving this tract, which he eventually sold to George McAninch. About 1856 he removed to Polk township, living for a year on his father-inlaw's farm at Greenbriar, and then buying the present home place of James Smith in that township, upon which he made his home for twenty years. Meantime he improved it, making a valuable farm property by his various operations and the erection of suitable buildings. There was only an old log house on the land when it came into his possession, but it was in excellent condition in every way when he left it and sold out, removing two miles away, to Munderf, where he purchased the farm upon which his grandson, Ambrose Davis, later lived. Selling that place he removed to "Egypt," in Warsaw township, locating on a place for which he had traded two other farms. There he spent his old age, living to be eighty-two years old, and his widow shared her last years with her children, dying at the home of her youngest son, Esick Davis, in Polk township.
