I am searching for parents, sisters, brothers, heirs of Robert Davis,
born in New Hampshire in 1817, moved to Meigs County, Ohio, died in Lincoln
County, Nebraska 1883. Robert is "supposed" to be the grandson of a signer
of the Declaration of Independence. Its a long-held family story, and I
would like to nail down the truth or fiction of it. Robert's daughter told
her granddaugter this story, so it seems to ring true. We are still
searching for the families of the children of the first marriage-an on-again
off-again search which we have been persuing for 15 years. Thanks.
