It is assumed that he was born in Maine and he or his family emigrated to California. At any rate he is in Waukesha Co., WI by 1850 when his marriage to Caroline Grant took place. The ceremony was performed by Rev. George Silver. According to an 1873 Plat map he lived in section 19 of Vernon Township. In the 1891 plat map of the same area, David Wolff is living right next door to the Charles Davis estate. Son Walter inherited the property and is listed in the 1914 plat map town of Vernon. Son William had gone to California sometime prior. From the Waukesha Freeman Newspaper: Mrs. Charles Davis died Saturday morning and was buried the following Monday in Mukwonago. This couple is the grandparents of Senator Glen Davis of WI through their son Charles.
