More Davis/Arman Connections!

[Laura Twilliger]

I  found a lot of good information this past week … and lots of headstones.

First, I believe Emily, daughter of Aaron Davis (and Margaret), married Elihu Arman, son of John Arman and Nancy Davis. And, I have date of death for her, February 22, 1876.

See my tree for Emily:

Now, I know that Aaron had a daughter Emily.  And I know Elihu married an Emily Davis.

It’s not a hard connection, but like many of our other genealogy records with this family, it is circumstantial. I really don’t know when Emily was born as her year of birth is inconsistent on her marriage record and on the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census records.

On the 1850 census, Aaron, Emily and Lorenzo are living with George Davis , and Leonard is living with Levi Davis and Fannie (as well as  Fannie’s parents, John and Nancy).

This is the first thing I found from the FindAGrave website for William Sherman Arman:

That gave me a date of death for Emily.

Then I found a Find A Listing for Emily:

I also found a text listing of everyone buried in Homer Cemetery:
