The Davis Family
I will be adding Davis Family information here - it will be disorganized at first.
Eliza Davis was born in Ohio and is buried in Fluty Cemetery, Baxter County, Arkansas, with (we think) at least two of her children. We have not learned who Eliza's husband is (born in Kentucky) - does anyone know?
Eliza appears to have had the following children whose vitals were reconstructed from census and other records:
- Lafranus Davis b: c1852 VA
- Marcellus Davis b: c1854 VA
- Artemus Davis b: Dec 1855 VA m: c1877 Epsia M ? b: Oct 1855 AR
- Milton W Davis b: Dec 1880 TX
- Adam J Davis b: Jul 1887 AR
- Rosa A Davis b: Feb 1883 born MO
- Artemis M Davis (female) b: Jul 1891 AR
- Newton C Davis b: May 1893 AR
- four other children who died by 1900
- Eugenia Davis b: c1858 VA m1: John W Wells m2: William McBride 'Mack' Teverbaugh
- Forianus Davis b: c1860 VA m1: 7 Mar 1880 Ozark Co, MO, John Tevebaugh/Teverbaugh b: c1858, Ozark Co, MO ( raised by John W. Wells) d: c1885, prob. Ozark Co, MO
- Lillie May Teverbaugh b: 1881 (raised in family of Artemis H. Davis) d: 1966
- John Teverbaugh b: c1882/1885
m2: E.H. McDonald
- Sylvanus Davis b: c1862 VA
- John C H Davis b: c1865 VA
- James McGinnis C Davis b: 2 Jul 1869 Greene Co, MO m1: Sarah Pomist m2: 20 Nov 1898 Mountain Home, Baxter Co, AR, Thea Dosia Adeline Cowart
Their places of birth would indicate that the family moved from Virginia to Missouri between 1865 and July 1869. Ozark County, MO, is where the connected Teverbaugh and Wells Families (many also buried in Fluty Cemetery) were also from.
On the 1870 census of Taylor Township, Greene Co, MO, Eliza and children appeared as follows:

By the 1880 census they had removed to Bayou, Ozark Co, MO, and appeared as follows:
- Davis, Eliza age 46 born VA – father and mother born in Virginia
