From 'A history of the pioneer families of Missouri' by Wm. S. Bryan 1935
     DAVIS.--Lewis DAVIS, of Albemarle county, Virginia had seven children---
Edward, Matthew, Rachel, William, Rhoda, Martha, and Virginia.  Edward married 
a Miss Walton, of Virginia, and settled in St. Charles county, Missouri, in 
1829.  The names of his children were--Mary A., Joel A., and Lucy M.  Mary A. 
married Ira SHANNON, of New York.  Joel A. married Frances A. GUTHRIE, of 
Virginia.  Lucy M. married Peter RANDOLPH, of Virginia.  Edward DAVIS was a 
blacksmith, and had a shop on McCoy's creek.  Like most of the early settlers, 
he was fond of a good article of whisky, and when his supply ran out he would 
take a sack of corn on his horse, go the distillery, and have it made into 
whisky, without the fear of revenue officers before his eyes, for they had no 
such encumbrances then.
