It's just too common a surname to think any of us will find a match with another's story.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-35183514617636245362015-12-04T10:53:44.104-08:002015-12-04T10:53:44.104-08:00My Davis Line came through Merion Township, Pennsy...My Davis Line came through Merion Township, Pennsylvania,Then to Pencader Hundered, New Castle, Delaware and finally to Craven County/Cheraw District, South Carolina.

As surprised as I was to learn that my "Southern" family actually originated in Massachusetts, I've now come to suspect that many such Southerners had their roots in New England. Surprise! That, perhaps, is mostly owing to land received for service in the American Revolution. It seems quite a few followed that same immigration route. I won't be all that surprised if I discover my Davis line had the same origin.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-49293051217682953962015-12-03T07:05:22.025-08:002015-12-03T07:05:22.025-08:00Tyson is another common name in these parts.
