Notes
a. Note:   H237
Note:   Elihu Davis was the eldest son of Quakers John Thomas Davis and Jane Mills, Elihu Davis was born in North Carolina. Elihu was the grandson of John Mills, the man who gave land for the founding of the Lost Creek Society of Friends in Jefferson County, Tennessee. His grandmother, Sarah Millikan Mills served as the women's meeting's first clerk when it was established in the 1790's and later as an elder along with her husband John.
  In 1812 Elihu married Love Barnard. Love was the daughter of Uriah Barnard and Elizabeth Macy, both of Nantucket. Together Elihu and Love had 8 children: 5 boys and 3 girls. A blacksmith by trade, Elihu served as private in the Ohio Militia under Captain Isaac Taylor from 29 July 1813 to August 26, 1813.
  After the war, he returned to Highland County, Ohio where he lived for several years before moving to Wayne County, Indiana and further on to Cass County, Michigan with his family. In Cass County he and several others, including Isaac Sumner, the father-in-law of his son Alexander Barnard Davis, established Sumnerville. Here he remained until just after the death of his wife Lovey in 1841. In 1842, he returned to Wayne County and married Rachel Swain Thornburg. Elihu died 10 April 1875. Rachel filed a widow's pension in 1880 which was sadly rejected due to lack of proof of service which she wrongly claimed had been under Captain Daniel McCrary.
