Note: these Davises were taken captive at Riddell's Station in Kentucky. Most were likely in the same family:


DAVIS, GEORGE There was a George Davis who sold land in Rockingham County, VA in 1779 and could very well be the same man who was serving at Ruddell's Station from March 10 to June 26, 1780.

DAVIS, THOMAS Born about 1768. He later married Sarah Ruddell.

DAVIS, JOHN Brother of Samuel Davis..

DAVIS, SAMUEL (1765--). Brother of John Davis. He was born in Pennsylvania. He came to Ruddell's Station from Rockingham County, Virginia in 1779. He enlisted in Captain Ruddell's company. A Samule Davis was listed as a prisoner among the Indians in 1783. After his captivity he lived in Mercer County, Kentucky. He received a pension in 1834 which stated "in 1779 soldiers father moved from Rockingham Cty VA to Riddle's Station in what is now Bourbon Cty KY (then in VA) & soldier lived there & enlisted there under his brother Lt John Davis & was taken prisoner by the Shawnee Indians & after his release he returned to KY & settled at Danville in Mercer Cty KY & lived there until the death of his wife about 1829 & had been living amongst his children of which some were in Mercer Cty KY some in Todd Cty KY & some in Henry Cty KY where he had been since Aug 1833, soldier was born 1765 in PA."
