*The county was divided into just two districts:
from 1804 to 1806, into North and South Districts; beginning in 1807, into
East and West Districts. The change tells us that James was in the
southeast quadrant of early Christian County, which later became the southwest
quadrant of Todd Co., when it was formed in 1820, then northern Montgomery
Co., TN, when the state line was re-drawn in 1826. |
He is the only James DAVIS being taxed in the county.

James DAVIS must have lived in the extreme SE corner of Christian County
in order to be on the West Fork of Red River, but not be in Todd County
after it was formed in 1820; that is, most of the watershed of the West
Fork of the Red River ended up in Todd County. James died in Missouri
in 1822, so we would expect him to drop from the Christian/Todd County
tax rolls before 1822, and he does. Apparently, James made the trip
to Missouri at the age of 78, then died after his arrival. Another
James DAVIS appears in Christian County in 1822, but he has no land or
horses (1-1-4-0) and, in 1823, he has land on the Little River. |

There are a lot of names on these lists that will catch
the attention of anyone working on these families in later Christian Co.,
KY. Of course, some of these are common names, so they may not all
represent individuals who ended up in Christian County after it was formed
in 1797, but this may be a clue to where many of these individuals were
before arriving there. |

William
Whitley House (State Historic Site)
(1788), near Crab Orchard
A settlers' fortified brick house on the Dix (Dick's) River. House
features musket loopholes, a barred cellar, and a hidden stairway. Admission
fee.
Before the present house was built, Whitley's Station (1779) was
located two miles west on Walnut Flat (Whitley) Creek near Walnut Flat.
Whitley relocated in 1786, then built the brick house two years later. |

. Denny Davis of Fayette, MO. 29 Mar 1987. Letter
(online in a file by Anthony Rockefeller at WorldConnect):
We know nothing of the ancestors of James Davis, except
that family tradition says the Davises came from Wales and settled in Virginia
before moving on to Kentucky.
The earliest date and place that we can positively identify our
James Davis is 22 June 1780, when he
entered 400 acres on Beech Fork of Salt River (Possessioners' Report, P.
28, Bardstown, KY) in later Nelson County. In order to be able to
enter that land, he must, by law, have occupied it and raised a crop before
Jan. 1, 1778; that is, a crop in the 1777 growing season. We know
James was there in 1777 therefore; and we know it was our James because
when he sold it in 1788, wife Hannah waived Dower rights.
Daniel Boone arrived in Kentucky in 1775 and there were only two
American white settlers there before him, so we can bracket James Davis's
arrival in Kentucky 1775-1777. Probably like other settlers he pulled
back to a fort during the early part of the American Revolution, because
of the attacks of the Indians who were spurred on by the English.
There is no reason to believe our James was not the James Davis listed
on the militia muster at Harrodstown (Harrod's Fort).
When James Davis sold the above tract in 1788, he gave his address
as Lincoln County, so we know he was by then living on the Christian County
tract he recorded in 1785. |
