Joel Davis

  General Notes:

The 1850 Federal Census for Towamencing, Montgomery Co., PA, Kulpsville P. O., page 200B dated October 7, 1850 records Joel Davis (42 - PA) as a farmer with real estate valued at $3,000. Also in the household is a Margaret Burn (20 - PA). This is most likely Joel's future wife in that a Margaret Davis is listed in the 1860 census and is the same age as this Margaret Burn ... see general notes on the son, Morris Davis, for the 1860 & 1870 census facts.


The 1880 Federal Census for Hatfield Township, Montgomery Co., PA, District 8, page 148B, dated June 1, 1870 records the widow Margaret Davis (47 - PA/PA/PA) living with her son, Septimus Davis (20 - PA/PA/PA).

See general notes on the grandson of Joel Davis, Linford Gill Davis, son of Morris Davis for 1900 census facts.

Joel married Margaret Burn circa 1852 in Towamencing, Montgomery Co., PA. (Margaret Burn was born circa 1830 in Pennsylvania and died after 1900 in Hatfield, Montgomery Co., PA.)
