Hi Jenni
Do you have the names of the Davis children? were they listed in the will? My Davis' were born around the 1780's also. They were educated as Doctors and Lawyers according to my grandmother.

Hi Lucille

They were Robert and Eliza.

Are you in ancestry.com.  I am in touch with another lady there, with a marriage connection to my Magee's. she also has Davis in her line, from Cavan area, and the first she has record of was a doctor.

Her tree is called Davis and the owner is Patsie2006
We haven't found connection between our Davis's, but you sound like a probable match?

Let me know if you have access. If not, PM me your email and I can pass it onto her :) I'm sure she will get in touch with you.

My Davises came from Armagh and Down, though there is a Roscommon connexion in there too somewhere. They were Church of Ireland folk , living it seems near Portadown and in Warrenpoint. One, my gr gr grandfather William born 1790 emigrated to New South Wales in 1833.

Hullo i am Peter Davis, my ggggrandfather Hugh Davis was from Killyshandra (or Killeshandra) in Cavan. he arrived in NSW Australia in 1853 with his wife Sarah & some of their children. Apparently he was an auctioneer. His wife Sarah was a Dobson, the sister of Parke Dobson. My gggrandfather Robert Davis married Elizabeth Moxham who arrived in NSW with her parents & siblings in 1850. If anyone is connected to them I would very much appreciate making contact, thanks

Were your Davies protestant or catholic? Not that people didn't marry back and forth, but it was less usual in those times.

Sorry - A typo - Davises is what I meant. Mine were CofE&I as it was called then.
