WILLS
Huldah Davis - dated 17 Jan. 1902
Josiah Davis - dated 17 Jan. 1902
Both wills list the same next of kin, including 1 daughter, 2 sons
(I.Y.--who is Isaac Yager--and Pierce--who is Levi; Levi "Pierce" is my great grandfather), and 4 grandsons (although there were other living grandchildren at the time, these 4 grandsons are the sons of Josiah and
Huldah's deceased daughter).
We also have a copy of Isaac Y. Davis's death certificate, wich was returned because his mother's complete maiden name was not originally listed. It shows as "Hulda Calvert".
We have information that Josiah was the second son of Hezekiah Davis, with brothers Levi, Hezekiah, Samuel, Abraham, and Isaac, and half-brother Even. We have information on each of them from censuses and other distant family members.
If anyone IS related to this Josiah Davis, please e-mail me at mpike@rochester.rr.com.
