Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Simon Davis Descendancy chart to this point (1.Jonas1) was born 26 May 1808, Hartland, Windsor County, VT.

  2. 3.  Jonathan Davis Descendancy chart to this point (1.Jonas1) was born 26 Mar 1811, Hartland, Windsor County, VT; died 17 Aug 1851, Hartland, Windsor County, VT.

    Notes:

    in the 1850 Federal Census Jonathan appears to be the Jonathan Remington age 39 living at West Windsor, VT. His mother is there, age 67, but her name is given as Linea (?).

    Jonathan & Amasa were twins.


  3. 4.  Amasa Davis Descendancy chart to this point (1.Jonas1) was born 26 Mar 1811, Hartland, Windsor County, VT; died 27 Feb 1885, Plainfield, Sullivan County, NH; was buried , Plains Cemetery.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Amasa & Hannah are living with their three daughters at Cornish, Sullivan Co., NH.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Amasa appears to have been remarried, as his wife is named Clarisa. Here is the household, at Plainfield, Sullivan Co., NH: Amasa 49, Clarisa 44, Henry 23, Harriet 21, Laura 16, James 2; George Beers 19, Marthy Beers 15, & Charles Beers 10 (all born NH except Amasa born VT). This listing suggests that Amasa and Clarissa have a blended family with one child of their own and several children from their previous marriages.

    In 1870 Clarissa is living with Phebe Johnson at Plainfield, with Clarissa's daughter Martha Beers also in the household. Amasa is not listed there.

    I don't know for sure where Amasa is in the 1870 census. However, there is an Amitha Davis of the correct age living at Guilford, Windham Co., VT; his wife appears to be Jennie S. 36. James Davis 11 is in the home, as well as Emma S. 1 (all born VT). I don;t know if this is Amasa or not, but it could be, with his son James who appears in the previous census. (This needs more research to confirm.)

    In the 1880 Federal Census, Amasa is age 70 at West Windsor, Windsor Co., VT. With him is Nancy Johnson, 60, servant & housekeeper.

    His gravestone reads: Amasa Davis, son of Jonas & Asenath, died Feb. 27, 1885, 73 yrs 11 m 2 d (? - difficult to read the numbers), the twin brother of Jonathan Davis. This gravestone has been photographed by Harry Kivler.
