Davis, Robert H., farmer, became a resident of this county at the same
time as his parents, as above stated. His farm embraces one hundred and
twenty-seven acres, the residence standing on section 34. This is part of
the claim taken in 1855. His birth occurred January 2, 1833, in St.
Martin's parish, New Brunswick. The various removals of his father's
family since that time describe his own. In April, 1858, he married Maria,
relict of Charles Armstrong, and daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Corcer;
she was born in Linden, Vermont, in 1827. In February, 1864, Mr. Davis
enlisted in the United States service and was assigned to Brackett's
cavalry battalion, serving on the plains until May, 1866. The youngest
three of his children are at home, the others as below noted: Walter, born
November 5, 1848, Atkinson, Nebraska; Sarah, February, 1859, now wife of
Thomas Jones, Cavalier, Dakota; Frederick, December, 1861, same place;
Mary, April, 1864, wife of Philemon Irwin, at Dunville, Wisconsin; Gladys,
March, 1867; Frank, March, 1869; Georgiana, August, 1871.
