Notes
a. Continued:   Davis lived 1829 to 1834 with his uncle Stephen Vail (1780-1864) of the Speedwell Iron Works adjacent to Morristown, N.J.. After briefly studying medicine, he learned the blacksmith trade at the iron works. In 1834 Davis joined his father at Malvern, Ohio, where he set up his own blacksmith shop. In 1847, he moved back to Morristown, where he remained until after the death of his father-in-law at nearby Parsippany. He became the foreman at his uncle's iron works (now a museum and historic site).
  In 1864, Davis visited first-cousin David Mulvane at Newcomerstown, Ohio. While in Ohio, he visited his mother's sister Isabella "Ibby" (McCune) Craig at the Fairview, Ohio home of her daughter Jane J. (Craig) Henderson. David A. Mulvane (son of David) recalled these visits 60 years later in a letter he sent to Ralph P. Mulvane (son of a 1st cousin). During the Vicksburg campaign of 1863, Brig. General Isaac F. Quinby was placed in command of Corporal David A. Mulvane's regiment - the 80th Ohio. General Quinby was a brother-in-law to Davis Vail.
  Davis joined a Vail cousin in Iowa in 1866 and soon bought 320 acres, named "Speedwell Grove", six miles east of Waterloo. Sarah (DeHart) Quinby resided with the Vail's on their farm, and at her death in 1878, Davis & Phoebe traveled to New Jersey with their two youngest daughters for the burial. While their five married children continued to reside in the Midwest, Davis & Phoebe Vail settled into retirement at Parsippany, NJ. At his death, Davis was staying at his son Theodore N. Vail's large home at Roxbury, MA.
