Aaron DAVIS
Rachel __?__

Please Note: there are secondary sources claiming our subject was born in Rhode Island and that his wife was Rachel LAW(S) — and that his parents were also Aaron DAVIS & Rachel LAW, the dates for whom clearly show the files have duplicated the couple. That aside, a move from RI to (W)VA or TN is extremely unlikely in the 1700s. In addition, a patrilineal line descendant of our subject has been Y-DNA tested, and he matches a descendant of Capt. Thomas DAVIS, 1623 immigrant to Virginia, making is all the more unlikely our subject moved to VA from RI, after an earlier ancestor in his patrilineal line moved from VA to RI. I've created a family group sheet for Aaron DAVIS (b. 1736) & Rachel ANTHONY — LAW was a mistaken maiden name — whose son Aaron DAVIS, Jr. (b. 1767), married Lydia CHASE, not another Rachel.

TN was formed from NC in 1796. The entire 1800 TN census was lost, and all but one county of the 1810 TN census was lost (viz., Rutherford). Of the 22 counties existing at the time of the 1820 census, 22 were lost.
