1. Chapman's History of Pike County, IL, says:

William A. Davis, New Canton, was born in Marietta, Washington Co., Ohio, in 1820, the son of Stephen and Patience (Springer) Davis, natives of Maine. Of his 6 children 5 are living, and all married but one; 4 reside in this county, and one in Carroll county, Mo. Most of his life Mr. Davis has followed the river; piloted a flat-boat for 20 years, and has traveled 4,000 miles. In his younger days he worked 2 years at the carpenter's trade, and works at it some yet. He owns 40 acres of land, besides a house and lot. In politics he is a Democrat. pp 843-844

2. In 1870, Edward Davis (32), Jane Davis (20), and Charles (8/12), reside with William. Perhaps this is his brother?
