The Davis Family Genealogy describes the family lines of Henry Davis, the paternal great-grandfather of James P. Keller
Jim's grandmother, Ida Davis (1867-1912), was born in Marion County, Indiana, the daughter of Henry Davis (1836-1889) and Harriet Adelaide McWhorter(1840-1932).
Henry Davis was one of seven
children of James and Sarah Sawyer Davis. James Davis and Sarah
Sawyer were both born in North Carolina, although some family tradition
indicates that they came from Virginia. It may be that, while born in
North Carolina, their parents came there from Virginia. To date I have been unable to trace their origins in
North Carolina. Death certificates of three of their children seem to indicate
that the marriage of James Davis and Sarah Sawyer may have been the second one
for both of them and that the first five children were from James Davis' first
marriage and the youngest two, David and Bartholomew, were Sarah's from her
first marriage. If so, James and Sarah would have been married in Indiana
between 1844 and 1850. However, no information has yet been found to
confirm these earlier marriages.
